Designing a data protocol is like building a lighthouse. it has to shine clarity, even in the fog of complexity. Here’s how I helped @truflation turn 30M+ data points into something people actually use and become the go-to for real-time inflation data.

The backstory: @balajis.eth believed traditional inflation metrics like CPI are outdated with limited sample sizes, No transparency, and potentially manipulated. This left investors, businesses, and individuals making blind decisions in real-time markets. He launched a challenge for a decentralized, transparent inflation dashboard and Truflation won by delivering an MVP version of on-chain inflation data using @chainlinklabs But innovation alone wasn’t enough. Users couldn’t use it because of poor design decisions.

The protocol was solid: - Processing 18 million to 30 million data points - Over 80 licensed data sources - Daily updates and on-chain transparency But the product struggled with: - Overwhelming density of data - Lacked context with poorly layout hierarchy of page which led to critical information being missed - Mobile users struggled with navigation - There was confusion about how inflation figures were calculated - 40% bounce rate - < 30-second average session time
