Dash DAO — APAC/SEA Adoption Report
July 2026 Report  |  August–October 2026 Plan 

We now maintain a timeline where all activities and milestones can be viewed: https://dash-community.pages.dev/

Executive Summary
July was an active month for Dash's APAC/SEA presence: keynote and side event at Malaysia Blockchain Week, continued coverage from Philippine Blockchain Week, speaking appearances at HK Wiki and Network School, and a growing base of exchange, payments, and media partnerships (Ouinex, Bitazza, Blofin, Floq Exchange, Bridgers, EVEDEX, AdaLinked, Changelly, Instaswap and a free AI-avatar content partnership with ICG). The Team also deepened community roots through Danang Fintech Lab and the Vietnam Policy Forum.
On the DevRel side, the team shifted focus toward Dash Platform under a “build in public” approach: the first certification lesson, Evo-branded education cards, and short-form video production are all underway, with the full roadmap in progress alongside DCG and initial approval from Brian.
August–October centers on CONVICTION 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City (Aug 14–15), Coinfest Asia in Bali (Aug 20–21, Dash water station), Bitcoin Asia 2026 in Hong Kong (Aug 27–28), FUTUREMODE Taipei (Sept 4–6), Korea Blockchain Week (Sept 29–Oct 1, Seoul), and TOKEN2049 Singapore (Oct 7–8) for the Dash HUB launch EVENT, most secured as free speaking slots or community partnerships.

Content and DevRel
Daria and the team want to sharpen focus on DevRel and promote Dash Platform, leaning into a “build in public” approach. Current channels have been tuned for an audience interested in privacy and payments; the new focus requires a shift toward the Platform.

• First lesson on the Platform completed as part of the certification project, developed under DCG's curation.

• Education cards about the Platform featuring mascot Evo have been created. Publishing - soon (approved by DCG) 
  
• Short-form videos about Dash and the Platform are now in production; results will be compared to see what performs better - human presenter.
  
• Full DevRel roadmap in development, to be refined together with DCG; initial approval already received from Brian.
