What Cascade is

Composed · as of Aug 7, 2026Tracked · 6 handles · in graph since Aug 7, 2026

Cascade is an onboarding and navigation platform for the Avalanche (/avax) ecosystem, built and run by Team1 (/tags/team1).

What is Cascade

Cascade meets users at different starting points: complete newcomers get a guided path through wallet setup and acquiring AVAX; people already onchain get resources for bridging assets and exploring DeFi; developers get documentation and tooling; and enterprises get context on Avalanche's use in finance and tokenization.

Key Features

The platform maintains an ecosystem map that catalogues active projects building on Avalanche, giving visitors a browsable directory rather than a single linear tour. It also runs "Community Paths" — localized, real-world onboarding journeys tied to Team1's regional chapter activity.

How It Works

Cascade was built by Team1 members who took the initiative to design and ship it themselves, rather than being a top-down Avalanche Foundation product — its core builders include Team1 community members credited by name on the site.

Ecosystem & Backing

Cascade sits under Team1, which itself sits under the Avalanche Foundation (/tags/avalanche-foundation). Its X presence is run through several named Team1 community voices rather than a single branded account.
