1. Active accounts lets you choose between all your currently active accounts, see the subscriptions created with them, top them up, or close them if you want.
2. New Virtual Account lets you create a deposit account with a smart contract that allows you to spend native and ERC-20 tokens. These accounts need to be manually topped up
3. Connect Wallet lets you connect an EOA. It supports ERC-20 tokens and each token must be connected separately!
4. Subscriptions page will list all your subscriptions in a table
5. You can see your inactive accounts in the next menu with your past subscriptions. You are able to browse the Subscriptions created with them but all is disabled permanently.
