About

Team1 Korea is the official Korea chapter of Team1 (/tags/team1), the Avalanche Foundation's global community and builder network, launched in August 2026 after sustained groundwork across Korean developer and founder communities.

About Team1 Korea

Team1 Korea operates under the @Team1KOR banner as a country chapter within Team1's network of regional chapters, which run local events, education, and builder support on behalf of the Avalanche Foundation (/tags/avalanche-foundation). It follows the same model as Team1's other country chapters, adapting the network's grassroots approach to Korea's onchain ecosystem.

Products & Initiatives

The chapter's programming centres on local builder hubs, technical workshops, investor connections, and community meetups. Its stated mission is to make Korea a primary builder and talent hub for Avalanche (/avax), with an emphasis on business, institutional, and payments-focused growth.

Background

The chapter was formalised after a period of regional activity that included Demo Days for local teams, university tours aimed at student developers, founder connect events, and side events staged during Korea Blockchain Week — the same pattern of grassroots work that preceded Team1's other chapter launches.

Partnerships

Team1 Korea coordinates with Team1's global network and the Avalanche Foundation's ecosystem programmes, alongside local university, founder, and community partners inside Korea.

Avalanche Foundation Spells Out How It Wants AVAX to Capture Value
