Launch a memecoin in under five minutes with Vyper's boa library - this Titanoboa tutorial, first in a new series from Curve Llama Lend, teaches you how

Curve ecosystem contributors have released a short, practical tutorial showing how to spin up an ERC‑20‑style memecoin and plug it into Curve’s Llama Lend using Vyper’s Titanoboa (also called boa), framing it as something that can be done in under five minutes. The guide, shared via the CurveCap account on X, is hosted as an open-source GitHub repository and walks developers through writing a minimal Vyper token contract, deploying it locally with Titanoboa, and then integrating that token into Curve Llama Lend for on-chain lending and borrowing experiments. Titanoboa/boa is a Python-based Vyper interpreter and dev environment that runs Vyper contracts directly from Python or Jupyter, with debugging, forking, and testing features designed to streamline smart-contract development workflows. By building the tutorial around boa, the series lowers the barrier for Python-literate developers to prototype memecoins and DeFi interactions without setting up a full Solidity/EVM toolchain, while also implicitly promoting Vyper as a language for financial primitives near the Curve stack. The tutorial is positioned as the first in a series from Curve Llama Lend, suggesting ongoing educational content aimed at expanding the developer base around Curve’s permissionless lending markets and related DeFi tooling.
