Projects are the organizational unit in the Credible Layer dApp. Each project represents a protocol or set of smart contracts that you want to protect with assertions.

​
What are Projects?

A project groups together:
  • One or more smart contract addresses
  • Assertions that protect those contracts
  • Project metadata (name, description, target chain)
Projects enable you to manage all your protocol’s assertions from a single interface.

​
Creating a Project

To create a new project:
  1. Navigate to the “Projects” tab in the dApp navigation bar
  2. Click “Create a project”
  3. Enter project details:
    • Project Name: Typically matches your protocol or contract name
    • Project Description: Brief explanation of what your project does
    • Target Chain: The blockchain where your contracts are deployed
  4. Click “Continue”
  5. Add contract addresses:
    • Enter each contract address you want to protect
    • Only contracts where you are the owner can be added
    • The dApp verifies ownership by calling the owner() function
  6. Review your project details
  7. Click “Save and publish” to create the project
Creating a Project

Creating a Project in the dApp

Only the owner of a contract can create a project for it. Ensure your contract implements an owner() function that returns the current owner address. See Ownership Verification for details.For contracts without the owner() interface, a Manual Verification Request process is available.

​
Managing Projects

Once created, you can manage your project through the project dashboard:

​
View Project Details

  • See all contract addresses in the project
  • View project metadata
  • See all assertions
  • See all events (timeline for the project)
  • See all incidents

​
Add or Remove Contracts

  • Add new contract addresses to your project
  • Remove contracts that are no longer active
  • Update contract information

​
Deploy Assertions

  • Submit assertions to your project via pcl
  • Link assertions to specific contracts through the dApp
  • View all active assertions protecting your contracts
Deploy Assertions

Deploying an Assertion

For detailed instructions on deploying assertions, see the Deploy Assertions guide.

​
Project Settings

In the project settings tab, you can: Update Project Details: Here you can update the project name, description, and delete the project. Transfer Project Ownership: You can transfer projects and contracts (including their associated assertions) to other wallets. This allows you to transfer project ownership while maintaining all linked assertions and contracts. Integrations: Setup integrations to receive notifications when incidents occur. For now you can setup Slack.

Project Dashboard

The project dashboard provides a unified view of your project’s security:
  • Active Assertions: See all assertions currently protecting your contracts
  • Assertion Deployment: Deploy or remove assertions for your project
  • Ready for Deployment: Assertions submitted via pcl that need to be linked and deployed
  • Assertion Status: Monitor execution status and any triggered violations. Status shows whether assertions are marked for enforcement/staging or enforced/staged
  • Recent Incidents: View detailed incidents for your project (see Incidents)
  • Project Settings: Update project details and manage contracts
