Anticipate the need for further help and seek to reduce it, while being cognizant of where your personas are most likely to go for help.
Do not include elements that will clutter an interface or confuse the user. Every element serves a purpose.
Leverage common design patterns and reduce the amount of learning users have to do.
Our users want to see simple instructions in order to get set up and running as fast as possible.

Audios is a musician-first platform and token. The interface has embraced Web 3.0 design trends; however, it is most notable that the UX leverages existing design patterns in music streaming services (specifically Soundcloud).
