crypto trading has failed us. As a space we optmised for trading with speed, getting in early, barely seeing if this was the right token to invest of not, not doing our research. this old way of trading tokens is dead. It died in this cycle. starting now, trading tokens will look dramatically different. next-gen trading is about trading with conviction. to trade with conviction, you need information. you need to know if a token has risks, if it has enough liquidity, if enough people are holding it or if there's a single wallet holding it all, if launched 1 hour ago or 1 year ago, etc welcome to the next-gen of trading. if you want to level up your trading, @matchaxyz has completely revamped the Token Pages to solve for this exact problem. go see it for yourself, and please let's all make better trading decisions 🙏 screenshots are from this token page https://matcha.xyz/tokens/base/0x0b3e328455c4059eeb9e3f84b5543f74e24e7e1b

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.

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.

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.

6. A: (1/2) As a Senior Product Designer at Matcha, you’ll sync with leadership, PMs, designers, and engineers to understand what and how to design a feature request. From there, you’ll be involved in almost every aspect of the design process.

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.

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.

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! 🧵
