We designed a proof of concept for a wearable crypto wallet in 4 days for a startup competition. It's a wrist-worn hardware wallet that securely stores cryptocurrency, paired with a companion app that gives users full control over their finances and enables them to use crypto in everyday transactions.
We built this for people who want a simple and secure way to manage their crypto without relying on traditional online wallets.

Concept Sketching
We began by sketching wireframes on both paper and digitally to quickly validate our ideas. We then tested the paper prototypes to ensure our concepts were genuinely beneficial.
This step was crucial before we developed and tested digital prototypes.
Product Design
We explored different design possibilities for both the Aegis hard wallet band and its companion app. Our goal was to ensure the product was not only functional but also sleek and user-friendly.
We started with rough sketches, brainstorming various form factors for the band—focusing on wearability, accessibility, and security. For the app, we sketched out key user flows, mapping out how people would interact with essential features like wallet access, transactions, and savings pool.
