# Create a Project

**Step 1:** Create a project by selecting the "Create Project" button on the "Dashboard" page.

The project will automatically be assigned with the API Key and Secret Key which you can view as seen in the image below:

We understand that in many occasions Multichain account owners are usually project managers and limiting access for programmers to project settings/wallet is crucial. To mitigate this, programmers are only **required to change the API Key and Secret Key after app integration and before going live**.

Each project has a unique [masterwallet](https://docs.multichain.info/faq/masterwallet-vs-subwallet) and dedicated project configurations. *(Each project should be dedicated to a single product)*
