Step 2: Create Project
- Enter a project name (e.g., "Production DE" or "AI Agents Staging").
- Select the environment: Production, Staging, or Development. The environment affects default blockchain attestation behavior:
- Production: Attestation active by default
- Staging: Attestation set to "Automatic"
- Development: Attestation off by default (local only)
- Click Create Project.
Step 3: Select Tier
Choose your plan. The tier determines rate limits, available modules, and SLA targets (contractually guaranteed only on Enterprise).
| Community | Pro | Business | Enterprise | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Requests / month | 5,000 | 50,000 | 250,000 | 1,000,000 |

Enterprise Customers: Your tier is configured by your account manager. Skip this step.
Step 4: Secure API Key
After project creation, a project API key is automatically generated. This key is shown only once.
- Click the copy icon next to the key.
- Store the key in your secrets manager or
.envfile. - Never share the key over unencrypted channels.
The key format is: pv_live_. Every project key is a live key — there is no separate test or sandbox key.
Step 5: Onboarding Checklist
After setup, the onboarding checklist appears in the command center, showing:
- ☐ First policy created
- ☐ First agent registered
- ☐ First trace processed
All three items are automatically checked off once the corresponding action is performed.
