Case Studies 2
Milkomeda DApp – Simplifying Cross-Chain Asset Management enhances blockchain interoperability by providing seamless cross-chain transactions, liquid staking, and asset management within the Milkomeda ecosystem. Originally introduced as Milkomeda MACC, the platform consolidates fragmented assets, reduces bridge risks, and improves liquidity management.
Key Features:
- Bridge & Bridge Explorer – Secure and efficient cross-chain asset transfers.
- DApp Store – Unified access to decentralized applications.
- Liquid Staking – Enabling users to stake assets while maintaining liquidity.
- Token Merger – Consolidating fragmented assets across multiple blockchain bridges.
- Validators Coordination – Streamlining validator management for optimal network security.
As Head of Design at dcSpark Inc., I led branding, UX/UI design, and product experience, contributing to Milkomeda’s peak Total Value Locked (TVL) of $97.6M.
Challenge
Milkomeda needed to simplify asset management, security, and cross-chain usability while maintaining a strong Web3 presence. The key challenges were:
- Fragmented Assets Across Bridges – Users struggled to consolidate assets across different blockchain bridges.
- Security Risks in Cross-Chain Transactions – Bridge hacks posed a significant financial risk, requiring mitigation solutions.
- Complex UX for Web3 Users – Onboarding and interacting with Layer 2 solutions needed to be more intuitive.
Deliverables
To address these challenges, I designed a scalable, user-friendly ecosystem within Milkomeda DApp, including:
- Bridge & Bridge Explorer – Built a transparent asset consolidation tool, improving cross-chain transactions.
- DApp Store – Created a Web3 application hub for users to discover and engage with decentralized apps.
- Liquid Staking – Designed an intuitive dashboard for staking assets across Milkomeda’s Layer 2 network.
- Token Merger – Developed a streamlined interface for consolidating assets from multiple blockchain bridges.
- Validators Coordination – Built tools for staking providers and validators to manage network participation effectively.
- Visual Storytelling & Branding – Collaborated with NASA to incorporate high-quality space visuals, reinforcing Milkomeda’s innovation in blockchain scalability.
- Liquid Staking – Designed an intuitive dashboard for staking assets across Milkomeda’s Layer 2 network.
Results
- $97.6M+ TVL Peak – Strengthened Milkomeda’s brand trust and adoption, leading to record transaction volumes.
- Seamless Cross-Chain Asset Management – Improved the bridge experience, reducing fragmentation across blockchain networks.
- Stronger Web3 Visibility – Positioned Milkomeda as a leader in Layer 2 scalability with a compelling, user-friendly product experience.
Conclusion
Milkomeda DApp demonstrates how UX/UI design, security-focused asset management, and intuitive Web3 tools can accelerate blockchain adoption. By simplifying asset consolidation, enhancing security, and improving usability, this project played a pivotal role in expanding Milkomeda’s adoption and market position in blockchain interoperability.
