• Users have signed up and logged in to AvaCloud portal:  How do I sign up and log in?

Users can create an L1 on Avalanche directly with AvaCloud Portal.

After users click on the Testnet on the screen above, they are given choices of Testnet Starter, Testnet Pro and Testnet Enterprise.

The Testnet Starter plan is free for 5 days, and it does not require payment info during the trial period. If users wants to continue owning the L1 created after the trial period, they are required to put in payment info. Otherwise, the L1 will be torn down automatically at the end of the trial period.

Basic setup

After the Testnet Starter is selected, AvaCloud presents two setups for users. This article focuses on the Basic Setup which is simpler to start with and lots of default selections, while Advanced Setup allows users to fine tune every configurations. 

After Basic Setup is selected, AvaCloud needs to make sure Avalanche Testnet is connected. 

Then it presents a screen of General Information where users can confirm or update a few information. 

For this article, we changed the L1 name, alias and choose to just use 1 control key.

After "Create L1" button is clicked, users are shown a series status screens before being navigated to the Blockchain List page.

Users will receive an email when the blockchain is ready to use. They can log into the AvaCloud Portal and they can see the newly created blockchain with detailed info.
