Create Project
Set up your first ZBD project and unlock the power of Lightning payments
Projects are your gateway to the future of payments. Each project gets its own Lightning wallet, API keys, and analytics – everything you need to integrate ZBD into your app or game.
One Account, Multiple Projects - Create separate projects for different apps, environments, or business units. Each project has isolated wallets and permissions.
Why Projects Matter
Isolated Wallets
Each project has its own Bitcoin Lightning wallet with separate balances
Unique API Keys

Analytics & Insights

Project Best Practices
Environment Strategy
Create separate projects for each environment:
- MyGame - Development: Sandbox testing with test transactions
- MyGame - Staging: Pre-production testing with real money
- MyGame - Production: Live environment for real users
This separation ensures clean analytics and prevents accidental transactions.
