pod.xyz Blockchain Explorer 

pod.xyz is an infinitely expandable spatial explorer for the Ethereum blockchain. Users can uncover connections, permissions, power structure, and security vulnerabilities for smart contracts and other onchain entities.

I led design including the UX, UI, interactions, user research, and needfinding in collaboration with a junior designer.

Blockchains excel at enforcing technical rule-based security, but end users usually lack visibility into the actual on-chain power dynamics of an organization or contract they engage with. Pod.xyz aims to enhance visibilty into onchain connections, and in the process make the Ethereum ecosystem safer for end users.

Users can infinitely expanding networked nodes with a novel spatial interface that enables a new form of onchain exploration. This enables users to find new connections that are otherwise hidden in conventional list based formats.

I designed the spatial interface from 0→1, including 4 key features:

• Spatial node network and connections
  
• Inspector side panel
  
• Lenses for focused types of information
  
• Navigation and search
