All work Case study
01 Intro · Student Coin · Blockchain education

Student Coin passed 100,000 downloads across iOS and Android, with WAYF on design and engineering.

Student Coin set out to make crypto approachable: a platform where anyone could design, create, and manage personal, start-up, NFT, and DeFi tokens. It was born at Kozminski University in Warsaw and became known as one of the biggest ICOs of 2021. We came in on a recommendation, and what started as building to Student Coin's design grew into shared design and engineering across web and mobile — wallets, voting, staking, a terminal, and an academy. We designed, built, and maintained their iOS and Android apps.

03 In the client's words

Their capability to produce high-quality work in a limited timeframe is extraordinary. … Their designs, both aesthetically pleasing and functional, are commendable. Their communication skills are excellent, and their versatility is unmatched.

04 The challenge

Make crypto accessible enough to actually adopt. That meant a mobile app people would trust on iOS and Android.

Student Coin wanted to bring more people into crypto, and the way in was mobile. The goal was an accessible iOS and Android app that made tokenization and the wider Student Coin platform approachable for everyday users, and then a product stable enough to keep them. We were brought in to build it, and we maintained the apps we created for as long as the platform ran.


05 What we did

From market analysis to a maintained product, and a brand refresh along the way. We built the apps, then kept building on them.

  1. Market and requirements analysis.

    Before any code, we mapped user needs, current market trends, and how people already behaved on the existing web platform.

  2. MVP design and development.

    We designed an MVP that improved on the existing product, then built it for web and mobile, wiring the apps to the established backend so the two stayed in step.

  3. Maintenance.

    After release we took on full maintenance, folding in user feedback to keep the product stable and improving.

  4. New features.

    With the MVP live, we kept adding features to the web and mobile apps, using data to keep Student Coin ahead of the field.

  5. A brand refresh.

    We then designed a new system for the web application and carried it through a company-wide rebrand.

07 The result

Apps that shipped, held up, and kept a big community engaged. 100k+ downloads, 4.7/5, and 99.89% crash-free sessions.

We designed, developed, and launched Student Coin's iOS and Android apps. They have passed 100,000 downloads with a 4.7-star rating on the Apple App Store, and through the maintenance we run they hold a 99.89% crash-free session rate. The partnership that started with a single app has continued through new features, the Student Coin Wallet, and Coinpaper.

100k+ downloads, 4.7/5 on the App Store, and 99.89% crash-free across the years we maintained it. Student Coin is a build we still stand behind.
