# Console Account

To manage and oversee all deployed instances and their associated metrics, you need a Blockflow console account. If you do not already have one, [create a new account](https://app.blockflow.network/). After account creation, select your desired plan. You can then create a new project, or a default project named "First Project" will be provided.The Blockflow console serves as a platform for monitoring various aspects of your deployment, including metrics, instances, databases, and APIs. Additionally, it allows you to query and interact with any deployed databases directly from the console.​
