Celatone
Celatone Case Study Summary
- Celatone is a developer tool designed to simplify smart contract workflows for CosmWasm-supported networks. It allows developers to deploy contracts, query and execute functions, and explore network data through an intuitive interface. The project emerged from challenges observed while working on Nebula Protocol in the Terra ecosystem, where developers struggled with fragmented tools and poor usability.
- To address these issues, Celatone streamlined processes like uploading and instantiating contracts, querying and executing functions, and monitoring network states. It also included quality-of-life features such as bookmarking contracts and managing upgrades.
- Usability tests showed a 94% task completion rate and high satisfaction (4.48/5), validating the product’s simplicity and efficiency. Celatone’s successful launch led to its adoption as a default block explorer for multiple networks, eventually supporting 15 networks. Its success culminated in an acquisition by Initia Labs, solidifying its impact in the blockchain space. </aside>

Celatone was a transformative project aimed at simplifying smart contract workflows for CosmWasm networks. As the lead designer, I focused on addressing usability challenges like fragmented workflows, discoverability issues, and poor validation feedback. Key achievements included a 94% task completion rate, seamless navigation, and JSON schema integration. The tool grew to support 15 networks and was eventually acquired by Initia Labs.
Areas for Improvement:
- Guidance for New Users: Better onboarding and contextual tips for first-time developers.
- Error Feedback: More specific error messages and clearer validation notices.
- Advanced Customization: Enhanced flexibility for experienced users to tailor workflows.
- Performance Optimization: Faster response times during high-traffic interactions.
Despite its success, refining these areas could further elevate Celatone’s impact.
Hi Porntheb,
Your design for Celatone is both professional and visually appealing—really great work! The way you’ve presented the project is clear and compelling, especially with the emphasis on the platform’s purpose and the impressive results. I love how you highlighted key achievements, like streamlining workflows, the high user satisfaction score of 4.48/5, and the project’s eventual acquisition. It really shows the impact of your work.
The structure of the case study is easy to follow, and the use of bolded text for important details makes it super reader-friendly. Everything feels well thought out, and the design complements the content perfectly.
If I could suggest one small addition, it might be including more visuals—maybe before-and-after comparisons or some graphs to bring the results to life. That could make the story even more engaging and help showcase all the effort that went into it.
Overall, it’s clear how much care and expertise went into this project. Amazing job, Porntheb—keep it up!
