Designed the end-to-end product for one of the first platforms to bring cross-chain lending into a single interface.
Launched successfully; the company later wound down due to runway.
/The Challenge/
Users had to reason about positions across multiple networks at once, understand how any action moved their liquidation price and position health, and track transactions that don't settle instantly (cross-chain txns stay in-flight for minutes).
/Key Decisions/
Market Overview as command center: One screen doing two jobs — market-level dashboard analytics and a full transaction interface. A Supply / Withdraw / Borrow / Repay tab group drove different states of a single action card containing network selection, asset selection, and speed settings (Fast vs. Standard), while surfacing the liquidation/health impact of a transaction before the user committed to it. In-flight transaction sidebar: Because settlement isn't immediate, I designed a separate, expand/minimize sidebar to communicate pending cross-chain transaction status — a problem single-chain products don't have to solve. Multi-state activity & wallet system: The activity panel handled a genuinely hard range of states — pending relays, liquidations, multi-chain action labels, governor-held assets — clearly enough that users could trust it.
