📢 An important update from TZ APAC 📢 You may have noticed that things have been quieter from us over the past quarter, and we wanted to take a moment to share openly about where we are and where we’re headed. Over the past few years, Fortify Labs, our Web3 startup studio that was dedicated to nurturing and growing the Tezos ecosystem in Asia, has been at the heart of TZ APAC. It has been a deeply meaningful journey for our team. However, the reality is that the current environment across crypto, funding, and broader markets has been challenging. After careful consideration, we believe this is not the right moment to run a new cohort at the level of support and impact we expect of ourselves. With that, we will be placing Fortify Labs on hold for now, including the planned 2026 cohort. This was not an easy decision. Fortify Labs has never just been a program to us. It has been a shared experience of building alongside founders, navigating uncertainty together and learning from those bold enough to create in a constantly evolving space. We are incredibly grateful to every founder who trusted us and allowed us to be part of their journey. In many ways, Fortify Labs has shaped us just as much as we’ve supported others. Through these experiences, one thing became clear: there are still meaningful gaps in the products and infrastructure needed to move the ecosystem forward. And that’s where our next chapter begins. Moving forward, TZ APAC will be focusing on internal product development guided by everything we’ve learned over the past years. With early groundwork already laid, including our work around the adaptation of Tez402 for the Tezos EVM, we’re excited to channel our efforts into creating products that can deliver lasting value. Fortify Labs may be on hold, but what it represents continues in a new form. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We’re looking forward to what comes next.

The Tezos ecosystem is expanding its global presence.
