API Explorer for Center
Building Web3 products is complicated, time-consuming and expensive. The Center API is a multi-chain, high-performance NFT API designed with speed and developer productivity in mind. Teams like Uniswap, SOHO, and 0x build with Center to deliver the best possible experiences to their customers.

Solving for Discoverability
Builders need to get to get into their flow as smoothly as possible, but sometimes technical documentation just doesn't go far enough. The team at Center asked me to redesign their API Explorer to help devs quickly discover API endpoints and tweak all of their parameters right in the browser alongside documentation.
Anyone who visits Center.app can try out any API endpoint in realtime.
We designed an API explorer that gives devs access to every API endpoint and their respective parameters. Users can render NFTs across supported chains, lookup market data, and even inspect asset ownership with just a few clicks.
Where we landed
The Center design journey began with a overhaul of the company's design system and culminated with the launch of a dramatically improved developer experience.
By redefining the brand as a no-frills utility for Web 3 developers, we were able to laser focus on the core building blocks of the dev workflow. From onboarding and endpoint discovery to API key management and usage monitoring, Center's product suite offers developers all of the freedom they require to build and scale their vision.
The utility phase of Web 3 begins with useful APIs.
Thanks to Center, we've saved over 2 months of engineering time. The overall quality and polish of our app have increased significantly after incorporating Center’s image solutions.
