Case study / Privacy-first finance app

Axis Finance

A privacy-first finance layer for live positions, prices, and alerts, shaped to feel more like an instrument panel than a trading terminal.

Read-onlyModel

No private keys or custody prompts are needed in the core flow.

Live valueSignal

Portfolio totals, movement, and watchlist context stay on the first screen.

PIN + consentControl

Local security and consent controls stay visible instead of hidden away.

Development journey

From a quiet concept to a readable finance cockpit.

Flat18 treated Axis Finance as a trust and clarity problem. The app had to show useful market context without asking for custody-level access or turning into a cluttered trading interface.

01 / Discover

The landing page explains the product in one glance.

Axis starts with a quiet homepage that frames the value proposition plainly: show live positions, prices, and alerts without turning the app into a trading terminal or a custody layer.

02 / Observe

The dashboard turns market noise into a calm snapshot.

Portfolio value, 24-hour movement, wallet exposure, and trend context sit together on one screen so users can understand what changed without moving between tools.

03 / Inspect

Read-only wallet tracking keeps privacy intact.

Public BTC and EVM addresses are enough for the core flow. That keeps the product useful while staying explicit about what it will not ask users to hand over.

04 / Act

Alerts stay narrow enough to be useful.

Price, momentum, gas, and depeg triggers are framed as deliberate rules rather than a constant stream of noise, so the user always knows why something matters.

05 / Control

The control layer stays small on purpose.

Region override, consent, PIN security, and asset registry placeholders are kept explicit so the beta feels careful and credible instead of overbuilt.

Product surfaces

Designed around the questions people ask first.

Each screen does one job: show the signal, keep the state readable, and avoid the usual finance-app clutter.

Dashboard

Keep the overview calm.

The dashboard gives users a fast read on total value, 24-hour PnL, wallet exposure, and trend context without crowding the screen.

Wallets

Stay read-only by default.

The wallets view surfaces BTC and EVM balances with direct labels and value tables, which keeps the product useful without creating custody risk.

Alerts

Make the signal narrow.

Alerts focus on price, momentum, gas, and depeg scenarios so the product can help users act without becoming a noisy terminal.

Settings

Keep trust explicit.

Region override, consent toggles, and PIN protection make the account layer easy to scan and easy to explain.

Why it works

Axis stays calm because the interface limits what it asks for and what it shows. Read-only wallet tracking, narrow alerts, and explicit security controls make the product feel careful rather than overloaded.

BetaDiagnosis: finance apps often bury the useful signalSolution: read-only surfaces with narrow alerts and local controlsOutcome: a calmer product for private portfolio tracking

Flat18 treated Axis Finance as a clarity problem first. The app had to show live positions, prices, and alerts without feeling like a trading terminal or asking for custody-level access.

Problem found

Most finance dashboards either create noise or ask for more access than they need. Axis needed a calmer way to show exposure and movement.

Flat18 diagnosis

The product had to stay read-only by default and keep the security layer small enough that it felt understandable from the first screen.

Solution shipped

We shaped the landing page, dashboard, wallets, alerts, and settings around one simple idea: show the signal without making the interface feel heavy.

Customer value

Users can scan portfolio value, market movement, and wallet exposure quickly while keeping custody risk out of the core experience.

What Flat18 handled

  • Framed the product around live positions, prices, and alerts
  • Kept wallet visibility read-only and privacy-first
  • Tuned the alert model so thresholds stay clear and actionable
  • Made PIN, consent, and region state easy to understand
