Overview

For centuries, the real estate industry has proven to be a highly profitable and sought-after investment opportunity. However, in recent years, the industry has undergone a significant transformation with the introduction of blockchain technology. In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, digital assets play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of Crypto and Web3. Tokenization can allow fractional ownership of properties, which means that investors can purchase a percentage of a property as an Token. This can enable more people to invest in real estate without the need for large sums of capital. With the help of smart contracts, ownership and revenue distribution can be automated, making the process more transparent and efficient. My client, a visionary in the real estate industry, approached me with a concept: the development of a Crypto Real Estate Marketplace. This project sought to bridge the gap between the traditional world of property dealings and the transformative power of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.

Challenges

My biggest challenge in this Web 3.0 product design case study was studying the Crypto Real Estate environment. To overcome this hurdle, I embarked on an extensive research journey that involved consuming gigabytes of educational materials and immersing myself in the intricacies of the blockchain and cryptocurrency space.I dedicated substantial time to researching and analyzing the top Crypto Real Estate marketplaces in the industry. This included scrutinizing their platforms, understanding their user experiences, and dissecting their strengths and weaknesses. The goal was to gain deep insights into the existing landscape and identify the areas where improvement was needed.

Solution

The primary focus of my design solution was to create a convenient and user-friendly experience, particularly for novice investors in Crypto real estate. I recognized that simplifying the complexities of blockchain and cryptocurrency transactions was paramount. I restructured the platform's navigation, simplifying it to ensure users could easily find what they needed. I adopted a minimalist design approach, reducing clutter and emphasizing key information. This allowed users, especially those new to crypto, to focus on the essentials without distractions.

REQUIREMENT GENERATION

User stories & Acceptance criteria

Acceptance Criteria (AC) are the conditions that a product must meet to be accepted by the user, customer, or, in the case of system-level functionality, the consuming system. In simpler terms, they constitute a list of details (also known as requirements) outlining how a new feature should function and appear.
