Challenge

The top challenge was with regards to the infrastructure and information.


The top challenge for Foundance, a platform for creating and managing decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), is ensuring robust security and governance. As DAOs deal with decentralized decision-making and often manage significant resources, safeguarding against vulnerabilities, ensuring transparent and efficient governance mechanisms, and maintaining user trust are critical.


Addressing these aspects effectively is crucial for the platform's success and sustainability. That and navigating and adhering to relevant regulations and legal requirements.

The most challenging aspect for decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) typically revolves around governance and decision-making. Ensuring that all participants have a fair and effective way to propose, discuss, and vote on initiatives can be complex. Balancing transparency, security, and efficiency in these processes is critical, as is maintaining active and informed participation from members. Additionally, navigating legal and regulatory uncertainties poses significant challenges for DAOs.

Value driven

Foundance is a platform designed to help create and manage decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs). It provides tools for collaboration, decision-making, and resource management within these organisations. Foundance aims to facilitate the establishment and operation of DAOs by offering features such as proposal voting, role assignment, and task tracking.

Goals

Our interview process didn’t just have a big impact on the product as a whole but also on its usability. The UX team narrowed it down to three crucial findings: create a common but improved journey, basing our design on this journey makes it easier for users to adapt to the platform and organise their tasks better; use frameworks users are familiar with; introduce small changes that can have significant effects.

Synthesis of the findings

Based upon data from in-person interviews, surveys and user reviews, I organised my observations and categorised them using a customer journey map. 

This helped me expose pain points and areas for improvement in the app along the entire user journey. It also helped spark discussions to help close knowledge gaps and acted as a catalyst for idea sharing and generation between team and stakeholders.


Furthermore, I identified various touch-points by intent and task including aspects such as emotions and expectations.

Clear Structure

I provided a streamlined process, eliminating repetitive tasks and saving customers time. Clear notifications ensure all steps in the agreement and the project lifecycle are met correctly and completed.

Additionally, the platform provides standard contract templates, expediting agreements and ensures security.

Scalable Design System

Created a complete design system from scratch for this digital product, enabling us to scale the platform and add new features while maintaining a consistent look and feel.
