How InstaDapp’s Atlas changed the game for onchain governance

I partnered with Atlas, as their founding design partner, to craft a governance platform for DAOs. During the sprint, I worked closely with the Atlas team, gathering insights and turning them into a fully functional prototype that streamlined DAO creation and management.

Goal

Atlas is a platform where DAOs can effortlessly create, configure, and manage their decentralized organizations. My aim was to design an intuitive interface that simplifies governance processes, enabling DAO members to eaasily vote, propose, and track their decisions.

Challenge

The main challenge was transforming the complexity of DAO governance into an easy solution, free of any confusion. I needed to come up with a design that was easily digestible and natural for all DAO members.

Solution

During a 3-week sprint, I analyzed user needs and prototyped an MVP with customizable governance flows. I iterated based on feedback, adding real-time voting tracking as well as a proposals index screen. The final MVP, delivered to the InstaDapp team simplified launching and managing a DAO into an easy to use solution.

Among many things, I discovered that:
  • Current governance options were not very intuitive for less experienced users

  • The UX for launching a DAO was not very intuitive

  • Current Governance solutions were not showing the votes on the main proposal cards

I solved these by:
  • Adding tooltips where necessary so that new users would educate themselves

  • Creating a simple onboarding that was clear to understand for both new and more experienced DAO members

  • Adding the voting graph on the main DAO cards

After working together, InstaDapp managed to:

  • Streamlined DAO setup and governance into a simple to use interface

  • Delighted users through a strong UI

  • Created a scalable UI for diverse DAO types

  • Established a foundation for future governance tool expansions
