Case studies
Real BSV products and the design decisions behind them. This section is empty, and this page says what it is waiting for.
This section has nothing in it yet.
The rest of the guide reasons from the standards and from general design practice. A case study does something those cannot: it reports what happened when real people met a real product.
Why it is empty
The BSV products that would fill this section exist, but nobody has written up the design decisions behind them. The case studies this guide started with described other systems, so they were removed rather than kept as filler.
What belongs here
A case study is one team, one problem, and what they learned. Not a product tour and not an announcement.
The five we most want, in order:
- A wallet connection flow in production. What the permission screen asked for, what people granted, what they refused, and how many abandoned.
- Pay-per-use at scale. An app charging small amounts many times a day, and how it showed that to the user without making them anxious.
- Recovery, measured. How many people could actually restore, what they had kept, and what the failures had in common.
- A handle rollout. What people thought a handle was, what they called it, and what broke when they shared it.
- An irreversible mistake. How the product told the user, and what the user did next.
If you have shipped something
You have the material already. The parts of your build that were hard, that you got wrong first, or that surprised you in support tickets are exactly what this section is for, and what the rest of the guide cannot derive.
Recommendation
Write about the thing that only half worked. A case study about a success is marketing; a case study about a correction is useful, and far rarer.
Start with the case study brief, which sets out the structure and what makes one worth reading, or tell us what you want to write about through the enquiry form.
In the meantime
Published research collects the published studies on how people actually use wallets, and marks which findings transfer to BSV and which describe a system this one does not have. It is the nearest thing to evidence the guide currently has.
Open questions
- What share of people grant a first connection request, and what do they refuse?
- How many people who set up recovery can actually restore?
