METHODOLOGY

Our Research-Driven Design Process

We don't guess user needs—we validate them. Our structured, four-phase research process de-risks your social recovery wallet development by grounding every design decision in behavioral data and user feedback.

01

Discovery & Behavioral Analysis

We map the user journey and identify critical friction points through in-depth interviews and competitive analysis of existing wallet solutions. This phase establishes the foundational user personas and threat models specific to your target market.

02

Prototype & Usability Testing

We build interactive, low-fidelity prototypes of key recovery flows (e.g., guardian selection, emergency access) and conduct moderated usability tests. This validates core assumptions about user comprehension and interaction before a single line of code is written.

Research Methodology & Process

Social Recovery UX Research: Key Questions

Our user-centered research process is designed to uncover critical insights that directly inform secure, intuitive wallet design. Below are answers to the most common questions from technical founders and product leaders.

We employ a mixed-methods approach tailored for Web3: 1) In-depth user interviews with crypto-native and novice users to map mental models and pain points. 2) Usability testing of prototype flows for guardian selection, recovery initiation, and approval. 3) Quantitative surveys to validate findings across a broader audience. 4) Heuristic evaluation against established security and usability principles. This triangulation ensures our recommendations are both user-validated and technically sound.
