Scaling a Crypto Wallet: 30% Growth with Backend and UX/UI Enhancements

Increasing financial inclusion in high-inflation regions.

In countries with high-inflation economies, non-custodial digital wallets offer a more stable alternative to traditional financial systems — and Vesseo’s “digital dollars” solution is growing fast.

By converting local currency into the “digital dollar” USDC stablecoin, Vesseo users can safeguard the value of their money. And because of the app’s non-custodial nature, users’ funds are never shared with third parties.

We worked with Vesseo to scale their Stellar-based wallet, taking their vision of “financial inclusion” to more users all across the world.

With a focus on intuitive user experience, meaningful integrations, security, and control, our collaboration means it’s now easier than ever for users to regain stability across their finances.

Levelling up required greater scalability in the backend, empowering more users in more countries to send, store, and receive funds with total control. They wanted the user experience to be more intuitive and reassuring, designed to work for people with a range of familiarity and confidence with blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Technically, adjustments had to be made to support the business expansion in markets  like Argentina, Brazil, and the US. A more seamless integration with anchors was also required, facilitating easier fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat conversions.
