Chia Reference Wallet
Reworking Chia’s Reference Wallet’s UI design
Year: 2022
Duration: 3 Months
Tools: Figma
Category: UI/UX
Version: 1.3 - 1.3.4
Solution
Problem
Design Approach: We focuses on unifying the light wallet and full node functionalities into a single, optimized client interface. This integration targets the fragmentation issues previously faced by users, who had to navigate between two distinct clients. By consolidating the backend systems, we aim to streamline interactions and synchronization, making the Chia client more intuitive and easier to use.
Problem Identification: The use of light wallets and full nodes with two separate clients results in a fragmented overall user experience for some users. Before optimizing the interaction and synchronization time of the merged backend, the new wallet interface optimization can help users quickly understand how to use the client after the lightwallet integration.

Propose fee estimator for 1.4, earlier design was based off transaction speed and priority. There was no way of measuring transaction time at the 1.4 version.
