Product Owner at Cyber.fund - Building Y App

Sep 1, 2024#career #tech

I joined Cyber.fund as a Product Owner to help bootstrap Y App (Y Nation) - a next-generation decentralized identity (DID), wallet, and DeFi application.

Working in a small team of founders (CEO, PM, CTO, Designer), I was responsible for:

  • Assembling product requirements and user stories
  • Designing user flows and conducting UX research
  • Benchmarking competitors and conducting market research
  • Shaping the product vision for the decentralized identity space

The project explores the intersection of Web3 wallets, decentralized identity, and DeFi, aiming to create a seamless user experience for managing digital assets and identity.

The app reached over 1 million users with around 50,000 daily active users. Despite this traction, the project was discontinued in February 2025 as the team felt they couldn't make Y truly useful, needed, or loved enough to continue.
