Fresh Walkthroughs, Feature-Focused Layout, Collated Resource Catalog

Our education team’s recent rebrand from Liquidity Provider University (LPU) to THORChain University (TCU) tails the many feature rollouts that THORChain-proper has gifted the public over the past year and change. Our former name, LP University, found itself severely outdated, what with the likes of Streaming Swaps, Synthetic Assets, Savers Vaults, and Lending joining the previously slim ranks of user-based features (e.g. sym. & asym. LP’ing; swaps). These four notable additions to the THORChain repertoire necessitated that our team take action and not only update our name, but to undertake a complete overhaul of our educational approach.

Below, we will go through a brief summary of our efforts, all aimed at simplifying THORChain-learning.

THORChain University Revamp Rundown

The “Basics” Category

Our “Basics” category offers 1 general and 5 feature-focused *read-only* introductions

Our brand new “Basics” category — located towards the top of our server menu — provides fresh, current, dedicated introductions to both THORChain generally and its five primary user-forward features. These easily-digestible lessons serve as sound educational starting points for any unacquainted and curious community member.

The “6 Halls”

Completing the “Basics” category arrives the student to the door of the “6 Halls”. These Halls are six categories that, you guessed it, correspond exactly to those Basics channels, only expanded.

The 6 Halls’ simple, repetitive pattern cuts out the noise for optimal learning:

As the student will find, in each Hall resides one “Library” and one “Discussion” lounge, both dedicated to their topic. These brief, repetitive categories are designed to aid in learning retention and reduce the clutter around THORChain education. And, while “Discussions” is a fairly self-evident channel name, let’s see what’s in these libraries:

Libraries

Much needed for perhaps the entirety of THORChain’s existence, each of these libraries contain — in codified, collated manner — ALL of the relevant resource material published on each of their respective topics.

Take a peek inside one of our libraries:

Thus, for perhaps the first time, ALL of the quality, THORChain-centric, user-focused resource material can be found in one singular location, and even collated according to its topic!

Summary

We at THORChain University have been working hard to bring our community the cleanest educational experience possible, all in a location where students have all resources at their fingertips, and corresponding locations to ask and topic-specific question they may have.

So, please, come in, make yourself at home, and browse what we have to offer! We encourage all community members to come see for themselves what we have been building behind the scenes.

And finally, should you find us a net-positive as a THORChain-based educational resource, please do recommend us to the wider community: TC University.

Thank you, everyone.

Long live THORChain; Long live our participation in its successes.
