Pier Two

I challenged the core logic of a staking platform and reshaped its architecture to support 15+ networks

Pier Two is a blockchain infrastructure provider offering non-custodial staking for institutional clients. At the center of the product is the Control Centre — the primary tool where users manage digital assets, staking, unstaking, and monitoring positions in real time across protocols and accounts.

I led the redesign of Pier Two’s Control Centre, initially focused on improving the UX of complex staking workflows. But the experience kept breaking as new networks were added. So I restructured the product to support multi-network staking at scale.

Problem

The more networks the platform supported, the less reliable the experience became. The problem wasn’t that staking was inherently complex. It was that the product was structured in a way that made complexity harder to handle:

No shared mental model across networks
Account-first structure fragmenting the system view
Limited portfolio visibility across accounts and networks

Ultimately, the Control Centre wasn’t built to support multi-network staking at scale. That meant every new network added more friction, more adaptation, and less clarity for the user.

Solution

Instead of improving individual screens, I restructured the product — shifting from an account-first model to a network-centered architecture. This created a shared mental model across protocols, reduced relearning, and made staking operations consistent as new networks were added. I replaced fragmented, modal-heavy flows with a step-by-step experience in a single view, making system states and actions easier to understand. The result is a product that scales without increasing complexity.

01. Dashboard

The dashboard shifts the product from fragmented account-by-account monitoring to a clearer cross-network view. It gives users a consolidated picture of stake metrics, recent actions, and positions in progress — reducing the visibility gaps that made the system harder to operate at scale.

02. Stake

The staking flow replaces cluttered, modal-heavy interactions with a step-by-step experience in a single view. Protocol information, required inputs, and system states are revealed in sequence, creating a more consistent model for execution across networks.

03. Account

The account section turns scattered staking positions into a structured operational view across networks. By combining portfolio-level insights with detailed tables, it supports monitoring, analysis, and unstaking decisions without forcing users to reconstruct the system from disconnected screens.
