Overview

Torque started as powerful Solana‑based tooling, accessible only to developers and technical stakeholders within client teams.

The vision: enable organizations to design, launch, and optimize incentive campaigns that reward community engagement with tokens, NFTs, and other on‑chain benefits.

The Challenge

The Challenge

Torque needed to go from 0→1, transforming internal developer‑oriented tools into a cohesive, self‑serve platform. It needed to empower marketers and operations teams while maintaining advanced flexibility for developers.

Key obstacles

Key obstacles

  • Developer‑only workflows made campaigns inaccessible for non‑technical users

  • Engagement features like rewards delivery, leaderboards, and community bots were one‑off implementations, limiting scalability

  • No clear mental model for understanding how actions, audiences, and rewards connected

The Goal

The Goal

Transform Torque from a developer‑centric toolset into a self‑serve platform that lowers barriers for marketers and operations teams while retaining the configurability needed by technical users.

Approach

As a consultant‑designer, I worked at the intersection of product strategy and hands‑on execution:

  • Defined what self‑serve meant for Web3 by balancing simplicity for non‑technical users with depth for developers

  • Designed approachable workflows that translated complex Solana‑based campaign logic into clear, guided steps

  • Productized custom work by modularizing one‑off builds for cross‑client reuse

  • Built for growth so the platform could serve enterprise clients today and evolve into a public self‑serve product

Key Design Solutions

Self‑Serve Incentive Creation

  • Built template‑driven flows for easy campaign setup by non‑technical users

  • Applied progressive disclosure so advanced users could access JSON inputs and flow builder tools without overwhelming novices

  • Added visual feedback and stepwise navigation to reduce friction

Impact: Enabled marketers and ops teams to launch campaigns independently, reducing reliance on developers and support staff

Productizing Engagement Features

  • Rewards Delivery Module: Designed a plug‑and‑play component for distributing rewards in long‑term incentive campaigns, including a live raffle tab on a top‑5 Solana DeFi platform

  • Leaderboards: Created configurable competition mechanics with customizable scoring and reward options

  • Community Bots: Designed self‑setup flows for Telegram and Discord distribution

Impact: Transformed custom one‑off builds into modular, reusable features for scaling across clients

Visualizing Campaign Structures

  • Redesigned the Flow Builder to clearly map relationships between actions, audiences, and rewards

  • Added plain‑language explanations to make blockchain steps understandable for non‑technical users

Impact: Provided users with a clear mental model of their campaigns, improving confidence and reducing setup errors

Reporting for Optimization

  • Designed layered analytics dashboards with high‑level KPIs and detailed engagement insights

  • Integrated on‑chain and off‑chain data for a unified performance view

Impact: Enabled teams to track success and optimize campaigns without needing technical intervention

Outcomes

  • Expanded the platform’s audience from developers to include marketers and operations teams

  • Simplified campaign creation, accelerating enterprise launches and reducing support overhead

  • Productized core features for scalability across clients and future self‑serve use

  • Positioned the platform for a public launch, ready for broader adoption

Reflection

This project was about bridging the gap between blockchain technology and usability. By combining consulting strategy with hands‑on UX design, I helped Torque evolve from a developer‑only toolset into a scalable, self‑serve platform that empowers both non‑technical users and advanced teams in the Solana ecosystem.
