Team1 (@AvaxTeam1) is pushing ecosystem growth with Helicon testnet launch (Aug 13), Aave V4 arrival on Avalanche, and a $30K builder grant to YourGrails. Upcoming NYC Crypto Mondays meetups (next 4 Mondays) and Bridge Party in Rio next week signal active community expansion. Collaboration highlights include @QuackAI, @AvalancheFDN, @PenguAsia, and @SuperteamTH.
Team1 is the Avalanche Foundation's global community and builder programme, organised as regional chapters that run local events, education, and builder support.
About Team1
Team1 operates as a network of country and region chapters rather than a single central team. Each chapter runs its own programming — meetups, workshops, hackathon support — under a shared Team1 identity, coordinated by @AvaxTeam1. It sits under the Avalanche Foundation (/tags/avalanche-foundation).
Products & Initiatives
Team1's programme surface includes Cascade (/tags/cascade), its ecosystem map and onboarding hub for Avalanche projects; a Builders Hub (/tags/team1-builders-hub) for teams starting to build; and a grants track (/tags/team1-grants) for funding community work. Chapters are the delivery layer: they translate the global programme into local language, timezone, and community.
Partnerships
Chapters partner with local universities, developer communities, and event organisers in each region, and the programme has said it will connect local startups with international investors and partners to help teams move from early prototypes toward products that reach global markets. Chapter coverage is explicitly expanding, so the chapter list is a snapshot rather than a closed set.
