YieldScan is a staking platform that aims to maximize staking yield while minimizing the roadblocks and problems in the traditional staking experience. The platform makes staking simple and accessible to a Crypto novice. It currently operates on Polkadot and Kusama networks which have lately been really popular in terms of their network design and interoperability features.
Showcased here is a detailed UX research and Product Specifications overhaul of the desktop-first platform *yieldscan.app.* ****All the research and explorations, insights, hypothesis, solutions, and flow screens are documented for clear and efficient communication to designers and developers. The interactive UI states have also been explored for different scenarios.
