Improving Web3 Onboarding Efficiency in a Trading Dashboard MVP

Executive Summary

In this case study, I audited a Web3 Trading Dashboard MVP to identify onboarding friction, evaluate Developer Experience (DX), and assess user activation flow.

Key finding:

The onboarding flow likely suffers from high drop-off during wallet connection and first interaction, a known issue in Web3 where up to 70% of users abandon due to wallet friction.

Key Improvements Proposed:

• Reduce onboarding friction in wallet connection flow
• Improve clarity of first user action (activation step)
• Streamline developer onboarding and documentation

Expected Impact:

• Increase wallet connection success rate
• Reduce onboarding drop-off rate
• Improve time-to-first-action (TTFA)
