Bazkets is a concept for a consumer investing app. It's for people who want to spread money across crypto funds, baskets and ETFs without learning every term in the glossary first.

The prototype, tapped through on a phone.

The problem

Most investing apps show beginners everything on the first screen.

Funds and baskets should make diversifying easier, but the apps around them assume you already speak the language. Open one as a beginner and you get big numbers, unfamiliar terms and five decisions before you've understood one.

Experienced investors still want drawdown, weighting, volatility, yield and rebalancing rules. So the first view had to read for a beginner without hiding the detail an experienced investor uses to trust a decision.

The direction

Lead with a few signals, keep the depth one tap away.

I made progressive disclosure the rule for every screen: enough to orient yourself and act, with the deeper analysis behind one tap for whoever wants it.

01Start from interests

Group baskets by interest and show risk up front, so nobody has to compare every asset to pick a starting point.

02Explain before asking

Performance, minimum investment and what's inside, all visible before the invest button.

03Keep the detail close

Experienced investors can expand into the metrics and rules behind each basket.

The solution

The screens.

Bazkets DeFi category screen with risk, assets, and searchable baskets — Categories give you somewhere to start instead of an open market.

Bazkets DeFi chart analysis comparing category performance — A chart for comparing categories, kept short of a trading terminal.

Bazkets asset detail screen showing performance, risk, and investment information — The asset screen leads with the handful of signals most people check first.

Bazkets advanced information screen showing volatility, Sharpe ratio, and investment strategy — Volatility, Sharpe ratio and strategy sit one level down.

Bazkets basket detail modal with performance, risk, composition, and an expand action — The basket modal: performance, risk and composition in one place, with an expand action for more.

Bazkets home screen showing portfolio balance, baskets, and watchlist assets — Home: balance, your baskets and the watchlist.

Bazkets portfolio screen showing distribution and individual positions — The portfolio view, scrolled: distribution and each position.

The result

Where it landed.

I ended up with a UI prototype that peers found easier to follow through the discovery flow than the apps they use. It gave the idea a shape: plain enough for a first-time investor, with the structure to go deeper.

Progressive disclosure carried the product further than I expected, right up to the point where onboarding and trust take over.

Conclusion

What's unresolved.

I didn't touch onboarding, and that's the biggest gap. A real version would need to test the hierarchy with people at different levels of investing knowledge, then let anyone build and manage a basket of their own.
