As the Stacks ecosystem continues to mature following the implementation of SIP-031, our focus has been on restructuring for maximum efficiency and impact. Today, we are sharing an update on how we are planning to align Stacks’ presence in Asia by more deeply aligning our operations with Stacks Labs.

From Silos to Streamlined

To date, Stacks Asia has operated with a dedicated, but fairly siloed focus on the Asia markets. However, to truly scale, we are integrating Asia-related effortsdirectly into the core execution environment of Stacks Labs. This is a change that will better allow for integration with key elements of the Stacks Labs marketing and BD teams, enabling a more cohesive global strategy and more efficient allocation of resources.

By aligning Stacks Asia with Stacks Labs, the region becomes a key consideration in Stacks’ global marketing strategy. Rather than operating in a vacuum, our Asia initiatives will now have direct access to the full suite of resources, budget, and technical expertise housed within Labs.

Going forward, Stacks Labs’ marketing team will play a major role guiding the region’s strategy and we have plans to both continue seeking input from a wide array of local throughout Asia. This move will ensure that regional activities are perfectly aligned with the biggest global milestones and marketing efforts of the entire project.

What the Stacks Asia Community Can Expect

At its core, Stacks in Asia isn't going anywhere! You can expect:

• Community engagement: Community moderators and core regional support remain in place and with budget savings, we are likely able to onboard more in the coming months.
• Event Presence: We will continue to have a major footprint at key industry events, hosting the dinners and high-touch engagements you’ve come to expect.
• Business Development: Business Development efforts are likely to be an even bigger focus going forward. Many of the most critical current and prospective partners for Stacks are based in Asia - they will now have the full benefit of a dedicated team focused on partners at Stacks Labs.

Looking Ahead

As the Stacks Labs team gets aligned on these efforts, they will communicate directly with the community regarding specific focuses and how we will further accelerate Stacks in the region.

We are so excited to build this next chapter with you.
