DAX Launch Cryptocurrency Exchange SaaS Platform UX Design
DAX Launch is a SaaS platform enabling entrepreneurs to launch their own cryptocurrency exchanges — essentially "Shopify for crypto exchanges." It provides an admin dashboard for exchange owners to manage assets, customers, fees, and billing, while traders interact through a separate exchange interface. The platform operates on DAX Connect, a network connecting all launched exchanges for shared liquidity.
Challenge
Two-sided platform requiring distinct UX for exchange owner admin and trader-facing interfaces.
Diverse user base ranging from serial exchange entrepreneurs to brokers transitioning to crypto to first-time exchange owners.
Needed to feel as simple as Shopify while handling cryptocurrency complexity.
Solution
Created three detailed personas (Benjamin, Phil, Sarah) with scenario-based user journeys mapping discovery through ongoing management.
Designed system architecture diagrams for the DAX Connect cross-exchange network model.
Mapped complete sitemap and information architecture with user stories for each section.
Produced hand-drawn sketches and detailed wireframes for the admin dashboard (Dashboard, Assets, Customers, Fees, Billing, Settings) and trader exchange interface (Funds, History).
Results
Delivered a complete UX package from research through production-ready wireframes for both platform sides.
Created a research-driven foundation with personas and journey maps validating the product across three user segments.
Simplified a complex fintech product into an intuitive SaaS experience accessible to non-technical users.
