Orra is my attempt to combine ritual-style UX with verifiable on-chain mechanics.</p> <h2> Product Flow </h2> <h3> 1) Dashboard </h3> <p>Users land on the dashboard, search assets, and review live market context before starting a reading.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F8no4dvhv32ve3iadqo0a.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F8no4dvhv32ve3iadqo0a.png" alt="Dashboard" width="800" height="455"></a></p> <h3> 2) Wallet Connect </h3> <p>Users connect wallet to enter the reading flow.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fp50u842zn9p5xqvzrhy2.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fp50u842zn9p5xqvzrhy2.png" alt="Wallet Connect" width="800" height="455"></a></p> <h3> 3) Asset Selection </h3> <p>Users choose the asset, and Orra confirms the live Pyth feed.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F2iup1u4kh2me7k8nvy3g.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F2iup1u4kh2me7k8nvy3g.png" alt="Asset Selection" width="800" height="455"></a></p> <h3> 4) Adaptive Question Flow </h3> <p>Users answer guided questions about market situation, timing, and focus.
