Team1 2025 Wrapped 🔺

2025 was a big year with one of our main mandates being to help build out Avalanche's presence in new regions and universities.

Now that we have a foundation built, some of our main focuses for 2026 will be:

👉 Scale into more countries and build our presence there. Eg: US, UK, UAE, Singapore, Korea and others.
👉 Build a more formalized chapter structure for Team1. Roll out official official country chapters (Team1 Korea).
👉 Find a community lead for each chapter. Empower them to run it and build a team around them
👉 Create some other paid opportunities, grants and bounties for impactful community members
👉 Launch more builder focused initiatives (hackathons, pitch days, builder co-work sessions etc.)
👉 More core community support for those who show up or ship consistently.
👉 Tell the Team1 story more

Gonna be a big year.

Shoutout @snowofkila for the cool wrapped video!
