Vial

Designing a walk-to-earn mobile app for Albania's Web3 community

About the project

Vial is an Albanian Web3 startup building the first decentralized community for Albanians worldwide, connecting users through rewarded physical activity.

Its flagship product — a move-to-earn mobile app — rewards users with ViAL points for daily steps, which can be used within the ecosystem’s marketplace and auctions, with long-term plans to integrate a native blockchain token.

Challenge

The walk-to-earn space was already shaped by major players setting high standards for user experience and engagement. Vial engaged the Halo Lab team to create a mobile product that could compete in the category while remaining accessible and intuitive to a crypto-new audience.

Our process

Our process took Vial from category research to a fully handoff-ready product, closing the gap between Web3 complexity and everyday usability.

01 Discovery & research

We benchmarked key competitors, mapping onboarding flows and reward mechanics to understand common interaction patterns. The analysis highlighted the need for a simpler earn entry point and a better cold-start experience for non-crypto users.

Deliverables

  • Conceptual moodboard

02 UI design

Working within Vial’s brand guidelines, we designed a user interface that covered onboarding, registration, home screens, and more. Screens were delivered in both Albanian and English, with animations implemented to improve engagement and usability.

Deliverables

  • Animation design

03 Documentation & delivery

All screens were packaged for developer handoff, with annotations covering interaction states and bilingual layout logic. Our team organized components into a single system to reduce integration questions and speed up the path to launch.
