Krypton — hero overview
Context

A unified marketplace for issuing and investing in tokenized fixed-income products.

Crypton lets banks & fintechs create compliant tokenized bonds and gives investors a clean discovery → purchase → portfolio experience on a regulated rail.

Problem

Fragmented tooling and unclear flows reduced trust and conversion.

Issuers, investors, and compliance teams worked across disjointed systems (manual legal handoffs, confusing custody choices, and inconsistent discovery), increasing time-to-first-purchase and drop-off.

“Why is custody so confusing? I don’t know which option is right for me.”
“Issuance required too many manual edits — we needed templates and previews.”

Solution overview

One product, two roles — education-first UX and progressive disclosure.

Investor/Issuer mode toggle, guided issuance wizard, just-in-time KYC, plain-language risk summaries, and simplified custody flows reduce friction while keeping compliance visible.

Strategy & principles

Design principles that guided decisions

  • Education-first — teach before asking for commitment.
  • Progressive disclosure — surface only what’s necessary.
  • Trust-forward — issuer verification, audit links, transparent fees.

The visuals show where these were applied: onboarding education, issuer dashboards, and flow guardrails.
