In crypto, most wallet designs chase polish over purpose. But some actually get it right.
What separates a solid wallet from the rest? It's about prioritizing function from the ground up. Every design decision should serve a real use case, not just look pretty on screenshots.
Take an Ethereum-native approach as the baseline. That's not a limitation—it's a philosophy. When you build with a specific chain in mind from day one, architectural choices naturally compound. You end up with something that feels intentional, not retrofitted.
The difference shows in how people interact with it. Users feel the coherence. Transactions flow smoother. The UI gets out of the way, and work gets done.

To be honest, most wallets are just for show, and very few are truly user-friendly.

ngl, this is the truth. Most wallets are just superficial, and truly useful ones are scarce.

That's right. Currently, wallet products are all about flashy features, but they overlook the most essential purpose. A truly good design is one that allows users to complete transactions smoothly; there's no need to make the UI so complicated.

A good user experience is the key, and wallets that only pile on features should really reflect on that.

Most wallets are just making PPT presentations, and very few are actually usable. The difference with good wallets is that they know from the start what they want to do—no nonsense.

To be honest, most wallet UI designs are just visual over-packaging with poor practicality. This opinion is quite fair.

nah this is just cope. saw this exact "ethereum-native philosophy" pitch back in the LUNA days when everyone swore single-chain design was peak optimization. spoiler: it wasn't. statistically speaking, wallets that tried to retrofit multi-chain support later had better risk-adjusted returns anyway
