A learning site with an expiry date on every page.

What happened to the last one.

The original Graph Academy was a WordPress site, last substantially updated in 2022. It taught Cobb-Douglas rebates, L1 curation bonding curves, and deploying to the Hosted Service. All three are now wrong, and the site had no way to know it.

That is the ordinary fate of educational material about a protocol that changes. Numbers get typed into paragraphs, the paragraphs stop being true, and nothing goes red. A reader has no way to tell a page written last month from one written in 2021, because both look equally confident.

What this rebuild does differently.

Three mechanisms, all of them boring, which is the point.

• Every protocol number lives in one registry. No lesson hard-codes a value. The parameters page carries all 23 of them with the source, a quote from it, and the date somebody read it. Change it once and every lesson updates.
• Every lesson carries a stamp and an expiry. What it was checked against, when, and when it is due another look. Past that date the page says so at the top, in a banner nobody can miss.
• The build fails loudly. A nightly job lists pages past their re-verification date and parameters nobody has read in ninety days. A lesson referencing a parameter that does not exist fails the build outright.

When the sources disagree, we say so.

Reading the official documentation carefully turns up places where two pages give different answers, and places where the protocol permits one thing while the shipped software does another. On 2026-08-30 we found three.

The comfortable move is to pick one and write confidently. This site records the disagreement instead, marks the parameter, and tells you where to settle it. A reader who knows two official pages conflict is better informed than one given a confident answer that happens to be the wrong half of a contradiction.

What this site is not.

• Not the documentation. Procedures, CLI flags and configuration belong in the official docs, where they are maintained by the people who change the software. This site explains why, and links there for how.
• Not a dashboard. Nothing here is live. Graph Explorer and Lodestar carry the current numbers.
• Not financial advice. Nothing on this site is financial or investment advice. It explains mechanisms so you can make your own decision.
• Not anyone's marketing. The site is community owned. Where a tool is recommended it is because it does the job, and where the protocol has a weakness the lessons say so.
