Overview
Pulse.Protocol is a pet project of mine that takes all my experience building and using DeFi protocols and wraps it into a product that I actually want to use.
It's a DeFi protocol built on Ethereum that abstracts away the complexities of decentralized finance. A one-click solution to earn yield on your USDC cross-chain, without the need to hunt for the best rates or manage multiple protocols.
I created the end-to-end design and built the front end for the protocol's core interfaces, including the deposit dashboard, yield optimization flows, and cross-chain bridging experience. Beyond the core product, I created the brand identity system, marketing site, and investor materials.
The Challenge
Managing yield positions across multiple chains is a nightmare. You might be earning 2% on one chain while another is paying 20% for the same stablecoin. You're constantly jumping between protocols trying to find the best APY, managing multiple wallets, figuring out which pools are actually safe vs which ones will rug, paying gas fees on every chain, and manually rebalancing when rates change. I needed to design a system that handles all of this complexity behind the scenes while still giving users full visibility into where their funds are and how yields are generated.
The Outcome
The result was a clean, intuitive interface that abstracts blockchain complexity behind familiar patterns. Users can deposit USDC and earn optimized yields with a single click.
I also designed complex auto-compounding features into simple one-click actions. For example, a user can deposit USDC into stable pools, and their yield automatically swaps into a chosen synthetic BTC like wBTC, which then auto-stakes. They're essentially using stablecoins for yield while stacking sats on autopilot.
