All work Case study
01 Intro · Coinpaper · Crypto news & analytics

Coinpaper built a crypto news platform reaching 100,000+ monthly users, with WAYF on branding, design, and engineering.

Coinpaper is a real-time window into the crypto market: prices, trading volumes, market capitalisation, and the news and analysis around them, in one place. We partnered with Coinpaper to design, build, and maintain the platform, from branding and UX writing through front-end and back-end engineering. It has grown into a go-to resource for people and organisations tracking Web3 assets, and we still ship its maintenance and new features.

03 In the client's words

WAYF's partnership has been instrumental in realising our vision for Coinpaper. Their expert branding, UX/UI design, and technical prowess led to the creation of a user-centric platform that's rapidly become a trusted source for cryptocurrency insights.

04 The challenge

A trustworthy, real-time source for Web3 asset data. Groundwork for the future of decentralised media.

Coinpaper set out to be the place people go for current data and insight on Web3 asset prices, and to lay groundwork for the future of decentralised media. Meeting that meant more than a website: it needed swift page loads, a content system the editors could actually work in, live updates, and an experience users would trust enough to return to.


05 What we did

Branding, design, and a stack chosen for a live news product. Built by a small team, then kept current.

  1. Business analysis and branding.

    We opened with Coinpaper's idea for a curated online magazine and worked through branding directions and customer-oriented benchmarks together.

  2. UX and UI design.

    We settled the communication approach, then finalised a high-fidelity set of web and mobile screens that established the product's voice.

  3. MVP scoping.

    We scoped the first version around what mattered: swift page loads, an intuitive CMS for Coinpaper's editors, live content updates, and a solid developer experience.

  4. Tech stack and build.

    We chose React and Next.js for a content-heavy product, with Tailwind and twin.macro for fast UI, react-query and an Open API Generator for data, and Cloudinary for static delivery. A team of three developers built it, and we tested hard before launch.

  5. Ongoing work.

    We still maintain the platform and ship new features for it.

06 The team behind Coinpaper

Founders who came out of Student Coin. Building crypto media on a fintech track record.

Coinpaper's founders know this market from the build side. Daniel Bihun had led go-to-market and brand across STC Ventures portfolio companies; Cezary Tabota had been COO at Student Coin through its growth years and has founded ventures of his own. Together they built Coinpaper into a crypto news platform reaching more than 100,000 monthly users.

07 The result

A crypto news platform people rely on, and keep coming back to. 100k+ monthly users, and a partnership that continues.

The work produced a comprehensive platform that has become a well-established resource for real-time Web3 asset prices, news, and insight. It reached more than 100,000 monthly users, and our relationship with Coinpaper continues through regular maintenance and new features. The premise the team started from still holds: knowledge is wealth, and the asset is information.

100k+ monthly users, built by a team of three and kept current ever since. Coinpaper is a product we launched and still run with them.
