Lion's Paw Academy — the official academy for the runtime
From “I installed it”to “I orchestrate a team.”
A real path, not a pile of tutorials. 23 modules · 155 lessons · Core + Trading, plus the Agency OS track — from your first conversation with the runtime to multi-agent pipelines running your work. Start watching free. No card.
Built by the people who ship the runtime. Every lesson teaches the same patterns the open-source core is built with — no other academy can claim that.
The source is public ↗01 — The climb
Every module is a step up the same mountain.
Scroll to walk the path. Each module teaches a system, not a video playlist — watch in order, or jump to what you need.
AI Foundations
Where everyone starts — what agents actually are, and your first working setup. Free to watch.
02 — What you walk away with
Not certificates of attendance. Working systems.
Every stage of the climb leaves something running on your machine.
Production configs
Downloadable, working configurations at every step — the same ones used to run real pipelines.
Pro membersShipped projects
Each module ends with something real: an agent, a workflow, a pipeline — built, not watched.
Every moduleCertification
A credential that proves you can build with agents — and a path to getting hired for it.
RoadmapThe pride
A community of builders shipping the same way you do — feed, channels, live sessions, leaderboards.
In the app03 — Who teaches it
Taught by the builder, in public.
Dallion King builds the runtime, the academy, and the businesses that run on them — in public. The curriculum isn't theory about agents; it's the working methodology behind the open-source core, taught by the person shipping it.
Every module comes from something that had to work in production first. When the runtime grows, the curriculum grows with it.
Sixty minutes with Dallion on your actual project — live code review, architecture feedback, a written action plan, and the recording is yours. Not an intro call.
04 — You won't climb alone
The community lives inside the app.
No Discord to babysit. The feed, the channels, the live sessions, and the leaderboard are all part of the same product you're learning in.
Builders shipping daily
Posts, wins, and questions from people on the same climb — inside the platform.
Topic rooms
Track-specific channels where module questions get answered in context.
Live sessions
Q&A and build-alongs, streamed in-app. Recordings stay available.
Streaks & leaderboard
XP, streaks, and a leaderboard that makes finishing the path a sport.
05 — Where you learn
A platform, not a playlist.
Lessons, progress, community, and your runtime live in one product — built on the same stack the curriculum teaches.
And it's coming to your pocket.
The mobile app is in development now — the academy, the community, and a console for your runtime, on iOS and Android.
In development06 — What it costs

07 — Questions
Before you start
Do I need a paid tier to use the runtime?
No. The runtime is open source and free forever — every plan on this page is for the Academy: the curriculum, downloads, and community depth. Nothing here ever paywalls the runtime itself.
What's actually in Free?
The first Core modules, the first lessons of the toolkit module, the first trading lesson, the community feed, and 4 bundled Den modules with your install. Free is watch-free forever — not a trial.
Why is there only one plan?
Because the curriculum is one system. Pro is the full Core Track plus the Agency OS track, downloads, priority support — and the first month is $100 with code LIONSPAW. The only fork is the full Trading Track (T2–T13), which is a separate curriculum on the Trader plan, not a bigger tier.
How does the trading access work?
Everyone gets the free trading starters — Markets 101 (T0) and your first paper trade (T1). The full Trading Track — T2 through T13, with weekly coaching — is the Trader plan. It's a separate curriculum, priced separately, and includes everything in Pro.
Can I cancel? What's the refund policy?
Cancel any month and keep access through the period you paid for. Plain published terms: refund policy.
How does the LIONSPAW promo work?
Code LIONSPAW takes $75 off your first month of Pro ($175 → $100). It's limited to the first 100 members — the counter above is live, not theater. After your first month, Pro renews at $175.
What exactly does Lifetime include?
Every current module, both tracks, and every future release — one payment. The first 100 founding seats are $2,997; from seat 101 the price is $5,000. That price step is the entire scarcity mechanic: no countdown timers, no flash sales.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The path starts at the install you can do in one command, and the runtime takes plain language. The Core track assumes nothing; developers will still find full depth from the middle modules onward.
How much time does it take?
Lessons are built to be watched and then done. Most students move a module at a time — the path is finite (155 lessons across Core + Trading), and you can jump to what you need.
What exactly is free?
The first Core modules, the first lessons of the toolkit module, and the first trading lesson — plus the community feed. Free means watch-free, forever, not a trial.
Can I get 1-on-1 help?
Yes — Advisory is a 60-minute session with Dallion on your actual project, $300–400, bookable above. Pro members get 25% off every session.
The path is open.The first steps are free.
No card. No trial clock. Start watching, build something real, and upgrade only when the climb earns it.
