Case Study 2025
Drinks on Chain
Designing and building the frontend for Bolivian wine tokenization on Stellar — from Figma to production.
Overview
Built the complete frontend experience for a tokenization platform that converts physical wine bottles into digital assets on Stellar blockchain. Owned UI/UX design in Figma and frontend development with Next.js 15 + TypeScript. Each token represents a real bottle from Vinedo 1970 in Bolivia — the interface needed to make blockchain feel trustworthy and simple. Team handled backend and smart contracts; I shipped what users see, click, and trust. Born from the Stellar Bootcamp, now growing as a startup. Live MVP at angel1104.github.io/vinoonchain-landing.
The Problem
Designing and building the frontend for Bolivian wine tokenization on Stellar — from Figma to production.
Bolivian artisanal wine producers face brutal financing gaps — 80% lack access to early capital and depend on intermediaries who add 40% to final prices. Consumers can't verify origin or authenticity. The entire supply chain runs on trust and paperwork, with zero transparency from vineyard to bottle.

What I learned
- 01 /
Blockchain needs a reason, not a trendTokenization works when it solves a real problem — early financing for producers, transparency for consumers. The tech had to justify itself with utility, not novelty.
- 02 /
Design bridges the crypto gapUsers don't care about 'decentralization' — they care about trust and simplicity. Good UX made blockchain invisible, which made adoption possible.
- 03 /
Bootcamps force shipping, not learningThe Stellar Bootcamp deadline eliminated overthinking. We built an MVP that worked, not a perfect product that never launched. Constraints create momentum.
