Scene goal → fictional portfolio → safe build → recording.
- Never use real seed phrases or private keys
- Keep asset values internally coherent
- Use the lightest format that fits the shot
Step 1: decide what type of wallet moment you need
A portfolio overview, a receive event and a token-detail screen are different scenes. Define the shot before choosing the fields. If the viewer only needs to see a fictional total, do not waste time building swap flows that never appear.
Write down the central beat: “portfolio doubled,” “character received a payment,” “wallet is mostly one token,” or whatever the narrative requires. The mockup should make that point clear even if the audience sees it for only a second.
Step 2: choose fictional portfolio data
Set the total value first, then decide which assets explain it. Use a small number of positions unless the story specifically depends on a dense wallet. Quantities, fiat values and allocation should roughly agree.
If you show a real token name, remember that market prices change. For evergreen content, avoid unnecessary exact live-price claims unless the date or market state is part of the story.
Step 3: keep real wallet credentials completely separate
Step 4: add activity only if it serves the scene
A send/receive row can explain why the fictional balance changed. A chart can support a profit or loss story. But unnecessary activity makes the visual harder to scan and creates more opportunities for inconsistency.
When the mockup includes a transaction, keep the amount, asset and resulting balance aligned. The audience may not calculate every number, but obvious contradictions weaken the scene.
Step 5: test the interface at recording size
Wallet layouts often contain small token rows and chart labels. Check the scene at the final vertical or horizontal crop and make sure the important information is still legible.
If the content needs interaction, rehearse the shortest path from the opening wallet view to the key screen. Smooth purposeful movement reads better than wandering around the interface.
Quality checklist before export or recording
Common wallet-mockup mistakes
Avoid mixing a fictional total with asset values that obviously do not support it. Avoid showing a real address unintentionally. Avoid copying recovery phrases, account IDs or exchange notifications from a real device into the scene.
Also avoid overloading the wallet with too many tokens purely to make it look “busy.” A small portfolio with a clear purpose usually records better and is easier to maintain across episodes. If the content needs a deeper wallet interaction, build that deliberately as a second scene.

Questions
Do I need real cryptocurrency to make a wallet mockup?
No. A simulator can use entirely fictional balances and assets.
Should I copy my real wallet into the mockup?
Usually no. Use invented data unless a real public detail is genuinely necessary and safe to show.
Can I screen-record the mockup?
Yes. Record only the interaction the scene needs and test readability at the final crop.
How do I prove a real crypto balance?
Use appropriate on-chain or official account verification, not a simulator screenshot.
