Telemetry by BONKbot

Telemetry is the official web and mobile trading terminal built by Bonkbot for Solana traders. Bonkbot built a large and active user base through its Telegram trading bot, known for speed and simplicity. As users became more experienced, many wanted deeper insights, better tracking, and a more visual way to trade, similar to what other terminals on the market were offering.

Telemetry was built as the natural next step. It extends Bonkbot’s fast, Telegram based trading experience into a dedicated interface where users can trade, explore tokens, track wallets, and understand on chain activity with more clarity and control, without losing the speed and familiarity they already trusted.

Zypsy partnered with Bonkbot from the start to help design and build Telemetry from the ground up.

Telemetry by BONKbot crypto trading terminal dashboard design

The Challenge

Telemetry was built as a completely new product. It needed to feel like a clear extension of Bonkbot while also standing on its own as a serious trading and analytics platform.

The experience had to stay fast and responsive, support advanced trading behavior, and present complex data in a way that feels clear and usable. At the same time, the team needed to define the full visual and interaction language from scratch while moving quickly toward a first release.

Building Telemetry

The project started with a focused two week sprint in January 2025, where we explored visual directions and early system ideas based on existing wireframes. We delivered three visual directions and early design system concepts to help set the tone for the product.

Once a direction was chosen, we moved straight into building Telemetry as a complete product. We designed a custom design system from the ground up, including colors, typography, layouts, and a set of modern and slightly gamified components. This system became the foundation for everything that followed.

Using this system, we designed and shipped the initial Telemetry MVP, which included:

Trading Experience

The core trading experience combined with rewards, uniting live charts and fast execution to drive engagement.

Wallet and Portfolio

Wallet and portfolio features which make it easy to track balances, positions, and performance at a glance.

Secure Authentication

Authentication and onboarding flows which are simple, safe, and quick, helping users get into the product without friction.

Mobile Experience

Full mobile experience delivered alongside the desktop MVP, providing a strong trading experience across devices.

Post MVP Expansion and Current Work

After the MVP launch, the focus shifted to improving the core experience based on real user feedback. This included multiwallet support, a stronger portfolio experience, clearer rewards, improved navigation, simpler authentication, updated settings, and a new discovery area for trending tokens.

In parallel, we improved how users track activity and manage their setup. Wallet tracking was added to follow specific wallets in real time, and the mobile experience was refined as usage increased.

More recently, the focus moved toward engagement and personalization. This included a modular dashboard for custom layouts and Warzone, a new take on the core trading experience, alongside closer collaboration with engineering through AI assisted workflows and rapid prototyping.

Duel brand advocacy platform mobile-first product redesign

The Challenge

When the work started, Duel’s product experience was built around an older desktop first application that no longer supported current user expectations or product goals. Both the advocate experience and the brand dashboard had grown complex, hard to navigate, and visually outdated.

The challenge was to rethink the product experience end to end, creating a modern, mobile first advocacy flow for users, while also simplifying the admin dashboard for brand teams who needed faster, clearer decision making.

Approach

The work was split across two core areas, user facing advocacy and the brand dashboard, with a shared goal of clarity, engagement, and performance.

Redesigned the advocate experience with a mobile first approach, focusing on challenges, rewards, and progression, then adapted the experience for desktop use.

Created a new, modern design system with custom components and iconography to refresh the product and support future scalability.

Simplified and improved core user flows to better motivate users to complete challenges, earn points, and clearly understand commissions and rewards.

Reworked the brand dashboard by removing low value features, improving tables / graphs, and introducing AI assisted actions to help admins manage ambassadors faster.

Ternary FinOps platform design system and data visualization

The Challenge

When I joined Ternary, the application faced visual and experience fragmentation. The design system was outdated and inconsistent, key user flows lacked clarity or discoverability, and the product needed a stronger foundation to support both existing features and future innovation. At the same time, the team was introducing advanced capabilities such as AI assisted reporting and optimization workflows.

The challenge, together with Marcin Paluch, was to evolve UX and visuals in parallel with a redesigned, brand aligned design system, while continuing to deliver real product value through new features.

Approach

Working in parallel with Marcin as design leads, we focused on both system evolution and feature delivery.

Redesigned the product’s visual language and design system based on the new brand direction developed by Ternary and a partner agency

Built and refined core components and patterns to ensure consistency, scalability, and ease of implementation

Sweat Wallet crypto wallet homescreen redesign for iOS and Android

The Challenge

As Sweat Wallet continued to scale rapidly, the existing homescreen experience no longer supported the growing number of features and user flows. The challenge was to improve discoverability and usability by introducing clearer entry points, while integrating a new feature called VOTE and defining a scalable navigation flow that could support future expansion.

This needed to be achieved without disrupting existing user behavior across a large, active user base.

Approach

Redesigned the app architecture to support clearer feature entry points and future scalability

Refreshed the homescreen interface to improve hierarchy, clarity, and feature discoverability

Designed and integrated the VOTE feature, including a new L2 flow and a future-ready L3 page

Hey, I'm Horia

I'm a product design lead and founding designer with 10 years of experience across web, mobile, and more recently AI-driven platforms. I've worked with early-stage startups, scaling companies, and established product teams, usually on complex products where there's a lot to figure out and not always a clear playbook.

My best work happens in the zero-to-one phase. Shaping the product, building the design system, and setting up the structure that helps it scale. AI has become a natural part of how I work and what I ship, and it's something I keep getting deeper into.
