Coin Cloud Wallet
Redesigning a mobile wallet for crypto to unify cash machines and mobile app experience
Project Details
The Coin Cloud Wallet is the mobile application companion to Coin Cloud’s network of digital currency machines (DCMs) and self-service kiosks, enabling users to buy, sell, send, receive and store cryptocurrencies.
I was engaged to redesign the mobile wallet app as a “proof of concept” to elevate the user experience, streamline the buying funnel, simplify location search for machines, and align the mobile UI with the broader digital ecosystem of Coin Cloud.
Role: UX / UI design, user flows, wire-framing, high-fidelity mock-ups, design system alignment.

Year
January 2022 - December 2022
The Challenge
Problems identified:
The existing wallet experience was not optimised for users trying to incorporate both mobile and physical kiosk workflows (e.g., locating a nearby DCM, making a cash-to-crypto purchase).
UI inconsistencies and friction in the buy/sell funnel: users had to switch contexts between app and machine.
Location discovery of kiosks and the machine-interaction step was unclear or too manual.
The app’s design did not fully align with a modern mobile wallet aesthetic and missed opportunities for stronger user engagement.
Need to maintain security (crypto wallet) while making the experience simple enough for non-crypto-native users.
Design constraints:
The wallet must support traditional crypto app flows (send/receive/store) and integrate with physical machine locations.
It must be fully mobile-first (iOS/Android), responsive in edge cases, with strong UI clarity and ease for first-time users.
Must respect non-custodial wallet principles (users control keys/seed) and the existing backend ecosystem of Coin Cloud.
The redesign had to reuse and align with existing brand/design system elements from Coin Cloud, while improving UI and UX.
Key Features Designed
-
Displays total value, asset breakdown, quick actions (Send, Receive, Buy).
Clear CTA to “Find a Machine” to link machine network with wallet.
Recent activity feed.
-
Map view + list view of kiosks.
Filters (cash in/out, location type, accessibility).
Deep link from app to machine action (reserve or prepare transaction).
-
App prepares transaction: user selects amount, picks machine, app generates QR.
On-machine: scan QR, insert cash/complete.
App: shows status, confirms once transaction finalised.
Ensures seamless bridging between app and physical device.
-
Simple flows: choose asset, enter address/scan QR, confirm.
Clear instructions for first-timer: “Here’s your seed phrase, keep it safe.”
-
Non-custodial wallet architecture: user controls keys/seed phrase.
Settings page: Backup wallet, view seed phrase, export, change PIN/biometrics.
Final Summary
The Coin Cloud Wallet redesign demonstrates how a mobile wallet can effectively bridge digital assets and physical machine networks. By focusing on user-flows that span app → machine, simplifying onboarding, improving location discovery, and delivering a clean, powerful UI, the redesign aligns user needs with business goals. The result: a mobile wallet that doesn’t just store crypto—it guides users seamlessly through buying, selling, and interacting with the physical infrastructure.
It showcases the intersection of mobile UX clarity, crypto wallet security, and physical-digital hybrid design.
