# Signing up

## Create an account

In order to start interacting with Proofi you need to first create an account. Visit the [Proofi app](https://app.proofi.com/) and create an account. An email will be sent for verification. 

\
After opening the link you will have to retype your password and choose between an individual or an organization account type.

If you want to create a project you have to select *<mark style="color:green;">**Organization**</mark>*<br>

Enter your company name and proceed to the dashboard.

## Add verification method

In order to be able to connect your Metamask address with Proofi you will need to add a verification method.\
\
To do so click on the *<mark style="color:green;">**Add Verification Method**</mark>* button in the did section of the dashboard

Await until you are informed that the verification method has been successfully added

{% hint style="info" %}
To add a project, the Metamask address used to add a verification method must match the owner of the smart contract.
{% endhint %}

### Troubleshooting

Your Metamask address cannot be associated with more than one Proofi account.<br>

<div align="center"><figure><img src="/files/Kt6L9jL8w4tNy7RXlflJ" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

If this screen appears it means that your current Metamask address has been already associated with a Proofi account. Change the Metamask account and try again.

{% hint style="info" %}
You are now ready to deploy your project on Testnet. To deploy on Mainnet follow these [additional instructions ](/going-live.md)
{% endhint %}
