### About Stellar Türkiye

Stellar Türkiye is a local community initiative dedicated to expanding the Stellar ecosystem and supporting builders across Türkiye. Our chapter brings together developers, entrepreneurs, students, researchers and Web3 enthusiasts who are interested in building real-world financial and blockchain applications using Stellar technology.

We actively organize hackathons, workshops, technical meetups, educational sessions, and community gatherings designed to onboard new developers and support emerging teams. Through partnerships with university blockchain clubs, startup communities, and ecosystem organizations, we aim to create a strong pipeline of talent entering the Stellar ecosystem.

In recent months, Stellar Türkiye has focused on builder-driven growth by hosting hackathons, supporting project teams, and connecting promising founders with ecosystem opportunities. Our goal is not to help teams launch products, attract users, and contribute meaningful applications to the Stellar network.

Looking ahead, we plan to expand our developer education programs, strengthen university engagement, support local founders, and create more opportunities for Turkish builders to participate in the global Stellar ecosystem. We believe Türkiye has one of the strongest emerging Web3 communities in the world, and we aim to make Stellar a key part of that growth.

> Join us and be part of a movement that's transforming the world of finance. Together, we can build a stronger and more prosperous future for everyone.
