DXhunt: Buy and Sell Crypto on DEXs Based on News

Project overview

DXhunt is a news-based crypto trading service designed for Getmoni in 2024. It lets users buy and sell coins on decentralized exchanges such as Pump.fun and Dexscreener, reacting to relevant news in real time with ETH and Solana. The design phase was completed; the project was later frozen on the client side, and its current status is unknown.

End-to-end product design: user and stakeholder interviews, user flows and wireframes, new screens and features, design system work, and the final visual style.

Challenge

News-driven trading is a rare product pattern. There were almost no existing services to reference, while audience demand was clearly there. Most UX decisions had to be made from first principles: no competitor to copy, no established conventions for how a news feed and a trading terminal should live together.

STARTING POINT: USER STORY & USER FLOW

We started with interviews: two sessions with users and one with stakeholders, collecting MVP requirements and user stories with success criteria. I turned those conversations into a requirements set and mapped it as the user flow below. It defined the key functional areas and the exact set of screens to design.

DESIGN PROCESS: FEED SCREEN

With the flow approved, I drafted quick wireframes to lock screen functionality with stakeholders before any visual work. The wireframes are left out of this case for visual consistency, but they did their job: no misunderstandings about what each screen does.For the final UI I built on Shadcn as the component base, which made assembly fast: all design work took 1.5 weeks.The main screen is the Feed: news streams in real time for key or user-selected coins. The story expands on the right, where the user reads the details and buys or sells straight from the news. The bottom-right corner holds the news archive for the selected coin, keeping its overall flow and dynamics visible. Every news item carries quick buy and sell controls with pre-set amounts, adjustable in settings.

Design process – Dashboard

The Dashboard splits into two exchanges, Pump.fun and Dexscreener. Switching tabs, users browse the most recently listed coins and sort them to taste. Beyond the coin overview, the section runs security checks: honeypot detection, top-10 holder concentration and blacklist status. Enough signal to filter out scams before the money moves.

This section includes not only a detailed overview of each coin but also essential security checks, such as honeypot detection, the amount of cryptocurrency held by the top 10 holders, and blacklist statuses.All of this information empowers users to make more informed decisions when selecting assets, maximizing the potential for profit.

DESIGN PROCESS: TERMINAL WINDOW

Clicking any coin opens the Terminal, where the user trades on Pump.fun or Dexscreener and tracks activity, position history and coin-related news in dedicated tabs.

The right panel shows the Top 3 mentions of the coin, powered by ratings from Getmoni Discover, the client's social analytics product. Mentions are graded by quality on a one-to-three brain scale 🧠, adding social proof and filtering out shills.

The Terminal also checks the credibility of X accounts tied to the coin, flagging how often they have changed handle or bio: a cheap and effective scam signal.


On the right panel, users can see the Top 3 most frequent mentions of this cryptocurrency, based on the Getmoni Discover service's ratings. This feature helps users avoid scam coins and provides social proof. The mentions are also ranked by smart mentions, rated on a scale of 1 to 3 brain emojis 🧠, reflecting the quality of the mention as determined by the service.

Finally, the terminal enables users to verify the credibility of Twitter accounts associated with the coin. It includes information on how often these accounts have changed their bio or Twitter handle, offering additional protection against scams. This combination of features ensures a safer and more informed trading experience.

DESIGN PROCESS: WALLET

The Wallet is deliberately conventional: balance in ETH and SOL, stats over selectable time periods, transaction history and open positions with one-tap closing. No innovation needed here, just speed and clarity.

Additionally, it provides detailed information on transaction history and open positions, allowing users to quickly close any necessary positions when needed. This ensures a streamlined and efficient wallet management experience.

REFLECTION & FINAL THOUGHTS

A fast project with one hard problem: how a person actually trades from a news feed. The Feed screen answers it with quick buy and sell built into every story. The rest of the app, Dashboard, Terminal and Wallet, followed established patterns and did not need reinvention.

After the design was delivered, the project was frozen on the client side, a common fate for experimental crypto products of that cycle. The Feed remains one of my favorite interaction problems: no references existed, and the solution had to be invented, not adapted.
