Overview
AIDONIC aims to transform traditional aid funding by creating a token-based peer-2-peer ecosystem that securely connects worldwide donations directly to the beneficiaries in need. The client wanted to develop a blockchain platform that ensures traceability and provides 100% transparency, secure funds allocation to those in need and micro-transactions with zero fees. As an early-stage startup, Aidonic required both our consulting and development services regarding the UX/UI design of their platform.
Challenges
The lack of trust is a major problem in traditional aid funding. The poor governance and financial control in charities and generally the lack of transparency make you wonder whether investments are contributing to development outcomes and how you could be sure without information on results. Without transparency, we lack the tools to facilitate collaboration between different finance organizations in order to ensure the effective use of resources and to hold institutions accountable. The solution we had to develop ought to tackle these challenges and satisfy the client’s requirement to prohibit NGOs access to fiat money. Furthermore, since the client was a startup company seeking potential investors to increase capital and funds, the project was highly time-constrained.
Solution
The Aidonic Platform aims to facilitate charity campaigns and enable NGOs to raise funds from donors in a transparent way, displaying the cash-flow in real-time until beneficiaries receive the aid. As an early-stage startup, Aidonic required our consulting services regarding the UX/UI design. In two months the team helped Aidonic form the concept and vision of the product and decide on its design. The product would be a blockchain-based platform that serves as a communication channel between the involved parties and provides traceability of fund transactions. During the UX phase, we developed for the client an interactive prototype of a web-based platform using high-fidelity wireframes. The team specified the platform actors and defined all communication paths and workflows including these for the fund donation, transferring and management processes. We also developed the information architecture of the functionality and User registration type, profile (Unlogger/Donor/NGO/Beneficiary/Retailer), and management. We further specified how to proceed with both successful and unsuccessful campaigns. On the UI side, we created all visual components, the UI visual guideline, and all desktop screens for the platform.
