4XC

4XC is a crypto-trading platform built around competition. Instead of a lone terminal, it puts traders into head-to-head duels, team battles and seasonal leagues, with a token economy, a referral programme and a portfolio manager underneath.

I designed the product: the flows, the interface, and the system that keeps the whole thing feeling like one product rather than five stapled together.

Experienced traders want density — live price, indicators, signal tables, open positions, P&L. Newcomers arrive for the game: the countdown, the bull-versus-bear call, the leaderboard, the prize pool.

Design only for the first group and the game disappears. Bolt the game on top of the terminal and you get a screen that shouts in every direction and is readable in none. The real design problem was hierarchy, not decoration.

1 · One accent, one meaning. Mint green is the only colour that means yours, positive, go. Red only ever means loss. Everything else is a shade of the dark surface — so a single green figure can be found instantly on a crowded screen.

2 · Theatre at the top, numbers below. The gamified moment gets full-bleed artwork and real breathing room. Below it, everything switches to quiet tabular data on a consistent rhythm. The eye knows where it is.

3 · Every module is a card with one job. Balance, win rate, risk stats, signals, invites — each is self-contained with its own header and info affordance, so layouts can be re-ordered per breakpoint without redesigning anything.
