Projects are the gateway into using the ZBD API. Each project comes with a unique API key and a Bitcoin Lightning wallet. With this API key, you can receive funds, make payments, and withdraw Bitcoin — the API makes it possible to handle everything programmatically.

1 - Navigate to Projects

If you’re not already there, navigate to the Projects page in the sidebar menu, or use the keyboard shortcut a + g.

Your Project Name and Project Image will appear in the ZBD App when you make a payment to a ZBD Gamertag. The image needs to be square and less than 3 MB to upload and display properly.

4 - Submit

Now, click Create Project — you will be redirected to the Project’s Wallet tab once its successfully created.

As you’d expect, the balances are all 0 given we just created this Project.
