> How to create new CDR projects in Certify for all certified Isometric Protocols with step-by-step project setup guidance

New CDR projects can be created in your Certify account for all certified [Isometric Protocols](https://registry.isometric.com/protocols).

To add a project:

    Click **Create a new project** from your Certify account and complete your project's title, short description (up to 400 characters) and country of operation.
