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 joining forced with Stacks Labs.

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 directly 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 moving Stacks Asia under the Stacks Labs umbrella, 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. By placing Asia under the direct guidance of Stacks Labs, we ensure that regional activities are perfectly aligned with our biggest global milestones and marketing efforts.

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.

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.
