Today we’re pleased to release the first video in an ongoing tutorial series, to be updated periodically at https://github.com/curvefi/boa-tutorial

This tutorial covers how to launch a memecoin and manage it on Curve Llama Lend using Vyper's Titanoboa.

Titanoboa is a Python library that provides a built in Vyper interpreter, with some pretty nifty features. Things like gorgeous tracebacks, forking mode, and advanced debugging features. You can think of it like a premium Pythonic web3 developer experience, that's only accessible to people who understand Vyper. And fortunately for you, Vyper nowadays is even easier to learn than Solidity. Check out our prior tutorial series on Vyper to gain complete understanding of the language in 12 quick videos.

To complete this course we recommend you have a basic understanding of Vyper, which you can obtain by completing the companion Vyper Tutorial.

Each lesson will contain a downloadable Jupyter Notebook. The contents of this repository will also be mirrored at try.vyperlang.org

Lesson 1: Launch

The first video in the series shows off how to quickly install Titanoboa and deploy a memecoin to Sepolia in under 5 minutes.
