About

Team1 Türkiye is the official Türkiye chapter of Team1 (/tags/team1), one of the network's officially recognized regional chapters.

About Team1 Türkiye

The chapter launched after years of community members contributing to Avalanche's growth in Türkiye and onboarding local talent, formalizing that groundwork into an official Team1 chapter.

Products & Initiatives

Team1 Türkiye's approach favours events that feel like local experiences rather than generic meetups — from outdoor gatherings to evening events in Istanbul — aimed at making Avalanche approachable to people encountering it for the first time. Community organizer Hursel Cay has been a driving figure in the chapter's Türkiye activity.

Partnerships

The chapter coordinates with Team1's global network and local community venues and organizers to run its events, following the same community-first model used across Team1's other chapters.

Recent developments

  • 2026-10-26 — Team1 Türkiye, OKX TR Wrap First AI Agent Hackathon With 11 Finalists — Team1 Türkiye's debut hackathon with OKX TR drew 60+ developers who built 30 AI-agent projects on Avalanche in 16 hours, with 11 finalists selected. (@AvaxTeam1)

First hackathon: OKX TR Agentic Hackathon, October 17, 2026

Team1 Türkiye held its first hackathon, the OKX TR × Team1 Türkiye Agentic Hackathon, in Ankara on October 17, 2026. More than 60 developers spent 16 hours building AI agents on Avalanche with OKX TR's Agent Trade Kit. Thirty projects were submitted, and 11 finalist teams presented live to the jury.

First prize went to Arf, built by Hüseyin Akif Aybek. Arf has an AI trading agent read the OKX TR order book before a trade to work out the safe maximum order size, then enforces that limit through a smart contract on Avalanche.

The October 26 entry under Recent developments carries the date @AvaxTeam1 posted its recap of the event, not the date of the hackathon. Date the hackathon October 17, 2026.
