Web3 Design is one of the most exciting fields, with DeFi offering new challenges where classic UX/UI principles (and some common sense) guide users through EIP updates, blockchains and new features. Crypto moves fast, you’ll never be bored. Join me on the @matchaxyz Design team! 🧵

3. A: (1/2) No! It’s a bonus, not because it’s in your CV, but because you’re familiar with how certain Web3 flows work, like connecting a wallet, creating a new wallet, setting limit orders, signing transactions, and handling potential edge cases.

4. A: (2/2) If you have a crypto wallet, have done a few trades on a DEX (Decentralized Exchange), or occasionally buy crypto on a CEX (Centralized Exchange) like Coinbase, you’re in a good spot. If you’re a degen with all that and more, that’s a bonus, but not a requirement.

7. A: (2/2) Defining user stories and flows, wireframing, testing, research, prototyping, animating, and preparing the final spec for engineers. This role is very versatile, and we’re looking for someone who enjoys owning a project from start to finish.

11. A: We believe in craftsmanship. We aim to do the right thing for crypto by shaping and guiding users through our interfaces. We put ego aside and respect each other. We’re not afraid to ask questions, as they shape our decision-making. We listen, because that’s how we learn.

12. I’m always curious about how teams design, organize their files, and prepare specs for engineers. It’s always a mystery for a designer until they join. I believe this could be more transparent during the hiring process. That’s why I’m sharing a few screenshots from our Figma.
