Brazil is emerging as one of Team1’s fastest growing regions. With universities, innovation hubs, and student clubs rallying around Avalanche, October 2025 is set to showcase a dense lineup of meetups, labs, and cross-disciplinary sessions. Below is a concise snapshot of how Brazil’s cadence aligns with Team1’s global playbook.

Team1: Bridging Academia and the Avalanche Ecosystem (Brazil lens)

Team1 establishes a global, repeatable funnel to connect universities with the Avalanche ecosystem. This is achieved by utilizing campus introductions, builder programs, hackathons, and sustained mentorship. That same model is now being executed at speed in Brazil, with campus partners and community spaces anchoring a durable pipeline.

Momentum Snapshot: Where Brazil Is Heating Up

Team1 is successfully executing an “education-first” strategy across Brazil. Their focus remains on engaging with academic institutions and running practical workshops to help individuals understand the power of blockchain technology.

All current and future events are discoverable on the public Team1 Luma Calendar.

Event Highlights by City:

Belo Horizonte (FUMEC): Team1 is driving academic connections with students to demonstrate how Avalanche improves blockchain technology and to highlight the value of education in this developing field.
Órbi Conecta: They are hosting Team1 Voices workshops dedicated to law and crypto. Key discussions center on Real-World Assets (RWA), new legislation, and the future of tokenized assets.
Salvador: Team1 is expanding access for new users through Team1 Connect events, hands-on workshops, and new university collaborations.
São Paulo: This city serves as their hub for long-term growth, where they are actively supporting innovation clubs, builder hubs, and focused community development.

Early touchpoints in Brazil confirm their education-first approach is already in practice, with a strong emphasis on academic activities and workshops.

The Onboarding Engine (Brazil Edition)

Learn & try. Meetups and workshops handle wallet setup and first on-chain actions using Avalanche-native flows.
Level up. Short tracks (dev, design, ops) deepen skills; university connects like FUMEC tailor content to post-grad audiences.
Build & ship. Labs and hack prep push teams to prototype, publish, and contribute.
Sustain & scale. Mentorship, grants, and the Team1 network keep Brazil’s contributors active as peer mentors.

How Brazil Maps to Team1’s Global Trajectory

Globally, Team1’s cadence scaled from ~25–30 monthly events (late-2024) to 70+ per month by mid-2025, with membership up from ~430 to 750+ across 56 countries, and university collaborations rising to 80+ worldwide. Brazil is now mirroring that curve: more campuses, mixed formats (virtual + IRL), and a steady ramp in organizers.

Conclusion

Team1’s Brazil chapter is collaborating with universities, innovation hubs, and local communities. Together, they’re helping newcomers become active users and contributors. With October’s 11+ scheduled events and a proven funnel, Brazil is positioned to become a core engine of Avalanche adoption in LATAM—matching the pace, structure, and outcomes seen across Team1 globally.
