Herd.eco is a collaborative platform designed to help users search, understand, and act on blockchain data with the assistance of AI agents.
About Project
Crypto has evolved into a massively multiplayer environment built on composability. Every new protocol expands the number of possible interactions across the network. Yet the tools to explore and use these possibilities haven’t evolved at the same pace.
Herd was built on a simple belief:
If users can search, understand, and act on contracts together, the true value of onchain composability can finally be unlocked.
By turning contract exploration into a collaborative, agent-assisted experience, Herd shifts block explorers from passive information tools into active execution environments.
It represents a step beyond traditional interfaces, toward a future where interacting with smart contracts is as intuitive as querying information.
My Role as a Designer
I worked alongside the Head of Design, who led the overall product direction and guided the design approach. Under his guidance, I was responsible for designing the product experience across both UX and UI.
My work focused on translating the product vision into practical, usable interfaces. This included mapping user flows, structuring interactions, creating the visual system, and designing the core screens of the coterminal. I also helped build and maintain the design system to ensure consistency across the product.
While the direction was shaped collaboratively, I handled the day-to-day design work and execution across the experience.

Problem
Onchain ecosystems are deeply composable, but that composability is practically invisible to most users.
Smart contracts power complex interactions across protocols, yet traditional interfaces only expose a small subset of what’s actually possible. Block explorers are fragmented, technical, and difficult to navigate. Data platforms show metrics but not actionable contract relationships. Documentation is often incomplete or outdated.
As a result:
Discovering meaningful contract interactions requires deep technical expertise.
Understanding how contracts relate or can be combined is difficult even for advanced users.
Most users are limited to simple app-level actions like swapping tokens or basic transactions.
The vast interaction space of composable protocols — the “flow layer” — remains inaccessible.
In short, crypto is composable by design, but not usable by design.
Solution
Herd introduces a chat interface for smart contracts — a workspace where humans and AI agents can search, understand, and act on onchain interactions together.
Instead of navigating contracts manually, users can:
Search contracts using natural language
Understand relationships between functions and protocols
Compose multi-protocol flows across the ecosystem
Generate insights, reports, or automated monitoring with AI agents
Move from exploration to execution in a unified environment
Visualise contracts with inbuilt visualiser
See transactions etc
The Herd Chat connects multiple layers of the ecosystem, it contract data, analytics platforms, and social context — transforming fragmented information into actionable intelligence.
This unlocks the hidden interaction space beneath the app layer and makes advanced onchain workflows accessible beyond developers and analysts.
