Background

The Hiro Platform is a cloud-based development environment that simplifies the creation, building, and deployment of Clarity smart contracts. It also offers the ability to create, monitor, and centrally manage Chainhooks. With pre-installed tools, it streamlines the development and deployment of Clarity smart contracts directly within your browser, making it easier to increase productivity and deploy contracts to testnet and mainnet without leaving your browser.

What we did

Working closely with Hiro's leadership, product mgmt, and Hiro's Discord community of smart contract engineers we designed their 0 to 1 product and its accompanying design system. We conducted key activities with Hiro stakeholders, including: requirements gathering workshops, qualitative user research, concept testing, usability testing, and dev-spec component design.

Results

Our design of the Hiro Platform, a first of its kind platform, drew in over 1000 developer signups in its first month, which is nearly 20% of the total Ethereum developers (~$5,000). A subsequent redesign of the onboarding experience improved user growth by 15% and activation by 10% month over month respectively and has set Hiro up for success in growing the Bitcoin developer community.
