Annual Initiative from 2026

Building a stronger Bitcoin collaboration layer across Asia.

Asia Bitcoin Squad (ABS) brings together builders, educators, and community leaders from across the region. The first meetup is confirmed for May 23, 2026 in Taipei, with yearly editions to follow.

Date:May 23, 2026
Time:1:00 PM - 6:00 PM

What ABS is designed for

Regional insight, shared openly

Each community faces different regulatory narratives, onboarding constraints, and operational realities. ABS creates a trusted room to compare these conditions directly.

Builder-to-builder coordination

Wallet operators, Lightning contributors, full-node maintainers, and educators exchange repeatable practices that can be localized across countries.

Long-term continuity

ABS is not a one-off event. It is a yearly rhythm with recap records and cross-border follow-through.

Practical outcomes over noise

The agenda focuses on operational challenges, measurable collaboration, and reducing duplicated work between communities.

Regions in the room

Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong, and additional contributors currently being coordinated.
