HUMANIZE OUR WALLET DESIGN

Conversational
Wallet
Design.

It’s time to humanize society by bringing conversation design and story-structures to our wallet design.

Our current interaction design misses the story-structures we humans so desperately need. Fractal design, digital storytelling and resumable interactive content are the core component we need to build conversational wallets today. Curious? Read on.

Conversational Wallet Design is the perspective-shift we need.

Our linear page-based interfaces are getting old. AI/ML is on the rise, but if we want to keep a humane society and build the future we want, we need to bring screenwriting to our wallet design.

Our current social platforms only deliver on setup and conflict, but offer no tools for resolution, nor plot twists, this lack of empathy fuels toxicity and frustration, and turns people into the product. The same applies to our wallet design.

Conversational Wallet Design and Distributed Decision making are the answer to the de-humanizing rise of AI. Our future depends on Thinking x Feeling, on empathy, creativity and strategy.

Conversational Wallet Design brings screenwriting to wallet design, resulting in meaningful conversations with self, and/or between groups. Life evolves through interactions so boosting meaningful participation by rethinking our wallet design should be on everybody's agenda.

Conversation Wallet Design is a human design process that results in conversational apps that declutter and empower people in their daily lives.

It’s time to humanize Society by bringing screenwriting to our wallet design.

DESIGN RESEARCH SHOWS

Current
Cryptocurrency Wallets:

1. Separate Utility, Education & Hospitality.

2. Focus on technology and product, yet Havas research shows that customers are seeking more personal and collective benefits to enhance their wellbeing.

3. Miss story-structure (lack before, during and after design thinking), resulting in wallet design patterns that make user-knowledge assumptions and create trust gaps.

4. Cannot easily re-engage with users, resulting in lack of expectation management and after care, causing anxiety and nervousness in users.

5. Facilitate transfer of value, without rethinking how we might deliver conversational technology for real world use-cases.

The outcome;
Incomplete experiences make our current wallets unfit for non-technical family and friends.

Want to make your wallet ready for family and friends, grow adoption through digital storytelling, and deliver true social finance.

In this live-class we turn page-based wallet design patterns into interactive conversations, making our wallets ready for family and friends.

Combining utility, educational and hospitality in interactive conversations results in digital empathy. We will learn to look through three innovation lenses: Utility, Experience and Engagement. And will experience that our current wallet patterns are quite harsh, static, and deliver incomplete experiences.

We have quite some work to do if we want to make our cryptocurrency wallets ready for family and friends. Learning to design experiences with a before, during, after mindset will clear the road to mass adoption.

THIS CONVERSATION DESIGN PROGRAM WAS SPONSORED BY CARDANO PROJECT CATALYST

The In-wallet onboarding project and the Conversational Interaction Design program are funded by Cardano Project Catalyst.

Social Design Academy promotes the creation of wallet software that benefits society as a whole. The world is still designing wallet software for the individual. By giving Everybody an Assistant that keeps a check on your personal data, conversation design facilitates a study of self.

It's time that we design wallet software for the individual and collective, and re-connect our real and virtual worlds in meaningful ways.

Five study area’s

Design Principles for your Wallet Project
Design principles are like a compass for your project, guiding your team in the right direction and providing a clear vision for your work.

They help to define the boundaries of your thought process, and serve as a solid foundation for the decisions you make as a team. Without design principles, your decision making can easily be influenced by personal bias and opinions, leaving your project vulnerable to inconsistency and instability.

By defining your design principles upfront, you ensure that your team stays focused and aligned, ultimately leading to more successful outcomes.

Hippo (highest paid person's opinion) is a term used to refer to the tendency for decisions to be made based on the opinion of the person with the most authority or highest salary, rather than on the basis of objective evidence or expertise.
Even Energy Distribution
Our linear mindset often leads us to focus mainly on the design of the "during" stage of our wallet applications, neglecting the important "before" and "after" stages. This imbalance can create anxiety and nervousness in users. Conversational Experience Design seeks to distribute energy evenly throughout all stages, resulting in a pleasant, friendly, and engaging conversation that users will love.
Story Structures & Conversational Wallet Design
Expectation management is often overlooked in wallet design. Instead of simply telling your audience what to do, why not engage them by asking questions and guiding them through the experience? This approach can help to create a more personalized and enjoyable experience for your users. By taking the time to understand where they are and what they need, you can help to manage people's expectations and make their onboarding journey smoother and more enjoyable.
Proof of Interaction & Conversational UI Toolkit
Data standardization is critical to be able to compare and evaluate. Conversational Experience Design takes this into account by using standardized UX KPI's to ensure that research is incorporated into your conversational scripts. This allows you to make more informed decisions and improve the overall user experience. By adopting a Conversational UI Toolkit, you can better understand and address the unique needs of your audiences, and improve the effectiveness and production speed of your conversational wallet experiences.
Fair Data-Governance
Our data governance is flawed because we force users to comply and be complicit in our web2 domain. We need to design with data in motion to make a positive impact on our world. This means keeping data in context and always asking for actors' consent. By designing with data using conversational UI's, we can create a more ethical and sustainable digital environment that respects the rights and preferences of all users.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Rebuild as Assistant

“Designing for Human Activities and Routines really helps in simplifying our software, and deliver true value. Designing our own ecosystem and being able to design digital conversations really helped us to scale our story. Being able to involve people is amazing.”

Next Gen Digital Governance using privacy by design

“Privacy by design is as simple of an insight, as it’s practical to use. Being able to able to keep the data in the users pocket while have an open communication channel with our audiences is truly a revolutionary find in digital product design.”

We didn’t realize how harsh our software was.

“Now we use Conversational Interaction Design we see how harsh and impolite our software actually was. Being able to design for time, location and context is real eyeopener. Situational aware Assistants are an exciting new field.”
