VigiChain Learn
A working knowledge of the first post-quantum monetary network.
From what a ledger actually is to running a node that helps hold the network up. Written to be taught from: every claim here matches the code that is running, and where something is designed rather than built, the lesson says so before you rely on it.
All 6 planned courses are finished in all ten languages and open below. A course added later will not appear here until it is complete in every language.
This academy teaches how VigiChain works and how to use it. It does not publish the parts that are ours to keep — internal parameters, private key material, unreleased implementation detail — and it never needs to: everything you need in order to verify what the network does for yourself is public, and every lesson points at the command, the page or the file where you can check it.
What to read, in order

What VigiChain is, and why it had to be built differently.
Before any wallet, any mining and any layer: what a chain records, what makes a signature safe or unsafe in a world with quantum computers, what VIGI is as money, and — just as important — what this network deliberately does not claim to do.
For anyone starting from zero. No cryptography and no programming assumed.

The cryptography, taught properly and without hand-waving.
What ML-DSA-65 actually is, why a signature weighs 3,309 bytes, what a hash does and does not protect, how hybrid encryption works, and — the part most courses skip — how to check every one of those claims yourself rather than believing this page.
For readers who want the mechanism, not the metaphor. Some mathematics is described; none is assumed.

VigiWallet, from installing it to spending safely.
The practical course: install the wallet, understand the twenty-four words well enough to trust them, send and receive with confidence, set up a recovery that survives losing a device, and learn the handful of habits that stop the ways people actually lose money.
For anyone who intends to hold or move VIGI. No command line required at any point.

Mining and running a node, on hardware you already own.
What mining means on this network, how to join it in one command that refuses to install anything it cannot verify, what equipment is actually worth using, how to keep a node alive without babysitting it, and what changes when a node also validates.
For anyone who wants to hold up part of the network. Some command line, all of it copy-and-paste.

The layers built on top: what each one does, and what it does not do yet.
VigiChain carries more than payments: an integrity root for files, an institutional payment rail, a family of proofs, an escrow the chain itself enforces, and a non-custodial view of what an address holds. This course walks through them one at a time and, for each, separates what is running from what is designed — because the difference is the whole point of the course.
For anyone deciding whether to build on one of these layers. No cryptography required; every claim points at where you can check it.

Sovereignty: who holds the keys, who sets the rules, and what stands between today and mainnet.
A network that nobody runs on your behalf asks something of you in return. This course closes the academy with the questions underneath every other one: what holding your own keys changes, who can alter the rules and who cannot, what has to be true before mainnet opens, and what one person can do about any of it this week.
For anyone who has read the practical courses and wants to know what they are actually part of. No technical background required.
