About the Bounty

The Solana ecosystem is extremely diverse and ever-growing with projects ranging from AMMs, Analytical tools, DEXs, Games, and NFTs to so much more.
With an ecosystem growing at the speed of light, it is vital to be able to build, maintain & grow a common hub for all projects to be listed & verified by the community.
Solana is now sponsoring a bounty to design an ecosystem page with various features.
The goal of this site would be to ensure that it represents the diversity of our ecosystem and enables anyone to quickly identify, read & connect with projects from any domain.

Alright, no BS. Let’s dive right in! 🤘🏼

Here’s a quick walkthrough

🌐 Ecosystem Page

User Goals: To explore the ecosystem, discover various projects built on Solana, and submit their own projects

Although the current Ecosystem page gets the job done, there are some areas that can be improved upon to make the whole user experience more efficient.

Here are some things that can be improved:

The current layout seems cluttered - which can lead to cognitive overload
The various sections (Top DeFi, Lending Protocols, Marketplaces, Apps) follow the same design pattern, which is not scalable i.e. upon further addition of project cards, the website will only keep elongating and the clutter increasing.
Also, since they follow the same design pattern, it looks monotonous and bland.
Having an option to directly visit the project website, rather than having to do an extra step would be ideal
There is some visual inconsistency throughout - for instance, the CTA button’s corner roundness and styling keep varying.
