DeFi Made Easy Built for Bitcoin
Astra is a Bitcoin DeFi super app, a unified wallet bringing fiat onramps, DeFi, trading, and Ordinals together in one mobile-native experience. The design challenge was rooted in a real gap: while Ethereum and Solana users enjoy polished wallets like MetaMask and Phantom, Bitcoin's ecosystem remains fragmented across scattered services, with no single platform for buying, managing, and growing BTC. Astra was conceived to be that missing platform.
Beyond a Wallet: Bitcoin's First Super dApp
Astra is more than a place to hold Bitcoin. It unifies fiat onramps (Apple Pay, card, bank transfer), a DeFi dashboard aggregating swaps, lending, and yield across Bitcoin L2s, native Ordinals and NFT support, and self-custody with social recovery, no seed phrase required. The design had to make this breadth feel effortless: a single, scannable home for an ecosystem that has never had one.
From Concept to Brand to Product
I led the project from the ground up, concept, planning, and design. This began with strategy: defining the problem space, mapping the competitive landscape, and shaping the product vision and pitch. It extended through naming and brand identity, exploring directions before landing on Astra, with its star-inspired mark and electric-blue-on-dark visual language and into the full mobile UI: onboarding, the three-step onramp flow, the unified Tokens / DeFi / Ordinals dashboard, and portfolio views, all crafted in Figma with a crisp, confident dark aesthetic built for clarity at a glance.
A Vision Realized: Pitch-Ready and Demo-Backed
The final output went beyond static design, a complete investor-ready pitch covering product, market opportunity, monetization, and roadmap, paired with high-fidelity mobile designs and a working dev demo that proved the core flows in practice. The result: a fully formed product vision, from first idea to brand to clickable experience, demonstrating exactly how seamless Bitcoin DeFi can be.
