Wallet

Designing a digital wallet that makes virtual assets easy to understand and manage.

The Wallet is the financial hub of the G-loot platform, allowing players to manage their virtual currencies, rewards and purchases from a single place. The challenge was to create an experience that gave users confidence when interacting with digital assets while keeping complex transaction information easy to understand.

G-Loot, later rebranded as Stryda, was a Stockholm-based esports company specializing in stats tracking, player identity, and competitions. It permanently ceased operations in 2023.

The challenge:

The wallet supported several user activities, including:

Viewing available balances
Understanding multiple virtual currencies
Tracking transaction history
Redeeming rewards
Purchasing premium content
Monitoring account activity

As additional features were introduced, maintaining clarity became increasingly important. The goal wasn’t simply to display financial information, it was to help users understand where their assets came from, how they could be used, and what actions were available next. Players expect immediate feedback and complete confidence when interacting with virtual currencies. Several design challenges quickly became apparent:

Multiple currencies: Different balances and reward systems increased cognitive load (tokens, coins, tickets, and prize money).
Limited transparency: Users needed clearer visibility into previous transactions and account activity.
Encouraging engagement: The wallet should not only inform users, but also encourage them to redeem rewards and continue participating within the platform.
Building trust: Financial interfaces require consistency, clear feedback and predictable interactions.

Design goals:

The redesign focused on creating a wallet experience that was:

Easy to understand
Transparent
Visually organised
Scalable for future payment features
Consistent with the overall platform

Design exploration:

Information hierarchy: How much information should users see immediately? Should balances or recent activity receive the most emphasis?
Transaction history: Several layouts were explored to improve readability while supporting large numbers of transactions.
Reward visibility: How could rewards become more discoverable without competing with essential financial information?

Action prioritisation: Exploring different placements for
deposit, withdraw, redeem, purchase, transfer to support users’ most common actions.

The solution:

The redesigned wallet introduced a clearer structure for managing digital assets:

Clear account overview: Balances and available assets were prioritised, helping users immediately understand their current status.
Improved transaction history: Activity became easier to scan, providing greater transparency into purchases, rewards and account changes.
Better action hierarchy: Primary actions were given greater prominence, reducing unnecessary navigation.
Scalable component system: Reusable UI patterns established a foundation for future financial features and additional virtual currencies.

Outcome:

The solution enables users to:

Understand account balances at a glance
Review previous transactions with confidence
Access common actions more efficiently
Interact with virtual currencies in a more transparent way

Reflection:

Financial interfaces rely heavily on trust. Whether users are managing real money or virtual assets, they need confidence that the system is clear, predictable and reliable. This project reinforced the importance of information hierarchy, clear feedback and transparency in helping users feel in control of their digital assets.
