Our Web3 MVP Design Process — Start to Launch in 4–6 Weeks

Our Web3 MVP Design Process — Start to Launch in 4–6 Weeks

A solid MVP doesn’t need to take six months.
With the right process and a focused team, you can go from idea to design-ready MVP in 4–6 weeks.

At Halaska, we’ve helped founders validate, scope, and design Web3 products that ship fast and scale later. Here’s how we do it.

🗓 Week 1 — Discovery & Strategy

We start by understanding:

  • What your product does (or aims to do)

  • Who your users are (degens, normies, builders?)

  • What the MVP needs to prove (to users, investors, or partners)

  • What tech stack or chain logic is involved

We also align on:

  • Your core user journey

  • Product goals for v1

  • Red flags or complexity to design around

✅ You’ll leave Week 1 with a clear, user-centered MVP plan—not just a list of features.

🧭 Week 2 — UX Flows & Wireframes

We map out your product’s:

  • Onboarding

  • Wallet connection + permissions

  • Key action flow (swap, mint, stake, etc.)

  • Error states, edge cases, and post-action confirmations

Then we build low-fidelity wireframes to test the flow and information hierarchy.

✅ We share click-through prototypes to validate the logic early—before we touch UI design.

🎨 Week 3–4 — UI Design & System Setup

Once flows are aligned, we move into:

  • Full visual design (mobile + desktop)

  • UI components for wallets, tokens, chains, etc.

  • Layouts optimized for clarity, trust, and speed

  • Light/dark mode (or whatever fits your brand)

We design from systems—so everything we create can scale with your product later.

🧪 Week 5–6 — Handoff & Iteration (Optional Sprint)

We prep for devs:

  • Final Figma files with specs + assets

  • Design system tokens and components

  • Screen variants (empty states, errors, loading)

And we stay involved during handoff or work with your devs directly. In most cases, we also run a short sprint post-handoff to refine based on feedback or new priorities.

What You Get at the End

✅ A design-ready MVP you can:

  • Build confidently

  • Demo to investors

  • Test with real users

  • Ship faster (and smarter)

✅ A design system that supports your v2 and beyond
✅ UX flows that help reduce churn and build trust
✅ A partner who gets Web3—wallets, chains, and everything between

TL;DR

Our MVP design process runs in 4–6 weeks:

  • Week 1: Strategy + scoping

  • Week 2: UX flows + wireframes

  • Weeks 3–4: Full UI design

  • Weeks 5–6: Handoff + feedback loop

If you’re building a Web3 product and need to move fast, we can help. We’ve done it for wallets, DAOs, DeFi tools, NFT platforms, and AI x crypto startups.
