Project Overview
EthicalNode is a Shariah-compliant staking platform focused on helping users stake across supported blockchain networks without compromising faith-based investment principles.
After working on the original EthicalNode platform, the client returned for a V2 rebuild. I rebuilt EthicalNode V2 single-handedly in three weeks using AI-assisted coding, covering the public website, admin dashboard, investor dashboard, validator management, halal screener, and staking-related product flows.
The Challenge
EthicalNode V2 was not just a visual redesign. The rebuild included new product features, improved dashboard flows, and a referral system that needed to be designed and implemented from scratch.
At the same time, the existing backend and database schema had to remain intact. The new version needed to work with the current data model, preserve platform data, and avoid breaking staking, investor, validator, and admin records.
The challenge was to rebuild the product experience quickly while aligning the new frontend, referral flows, admin controls, investor dashboard, and staking views with the existing backend structure — without data loss or unnecessary backend disruption.
