# Getting Started with AltLayer's RaaS Dashboard (Free Trial)

[AltLayer](https://altlayer.io/) is proud to launch the first-ever no-code rollup dashboard solution, with which developers, builders and users can autonomously set up and deploy a custom flash layer in less than 2 minutes!

This dashboard has been built as an intuitive tool to deploy a production execution layer across multiple chains with an explorer. Additionally, the tool enables the user to experiment with the disposability features of their flash layer.

To access the dashboard, visit <https://dashboard.alt.technology/>

Once logged in, you access our no-code rollup-as-a-service dashboard. This is where you can

1. Launch and destroy a Flash Layer
2. Access tooling
3. Deploy and interact with contracts on Flash Layer

Now, let’s try creating a Flash Layer. In this tutorial, we will be creating a 2 hour-free trial Flash Layer.

Select “Free Trial ( 2 hours)"

If you have a starter tier promo code, you can select Starter tier (promo code) and key in the code
{% endhint %}

As seen in the above screen, you can now you can start defining the specifications of your Flash Layer. Some examples of specifications include:

* Transaction sequencing mechanism
* Name of your Flash Layer
* Native currency name, symbol and decimal
* Genesis account and balance

Once you’ve entered your desired specifications or parameters, you can review your Flash Layer specification before we blast off. Once it is reviewed, click on “Create”.

<figure><img src="https://3112893033-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F8DRtEPgHrIg4b65B1smQ%2Fuploads%2Fg7XQ34CeAze1dgI7XuVb%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7af3054f-617d-461a-932a-b6cb4e7bfd15" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

It will take about 5 mins for your Flash Layer to be ready. You can see the status as “Deploying” in the top right corner of the Flash Layer status card (under the ‘Deployments’ tab).

<figure><img src="https://3112893033-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F8DRtEPgHrIg4b65B1smQ%2Fuploads%2FFfiQXW2BXJud7jqsYB9W%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=6b4361fc-8f43-4d16-bdda-d858cd61416e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Once the deployment is finished, your Flash Layer status will be changed to “**Active**”. At this stage, you will be able to see links to the RPC endpoint, a link to the faucet and to the explorer, along with other chain-related information such as Chain ID.

You can now manage your Flash Layer or add Flash Layer RPC to your crypto wallet, such as MetaMask.

On-chain explorer is available for you to view any on-chain transaction on your Flash Layer.
