Ethereum Layer-2 project poligonas is letting go of some of its staff after merging multiple business units.
In a blog published Tuesday, Polygon’s founders and president said they would lay off 20% of workers and cut 100 positions. All affected employees will receive three months of severance pay.
“This was a painfully hard decision, but a necessary step in our journey,” they said.
Last month, Polygon announced a corporate restructuring that combined all staff under “Polygon Labs.”
Polygon’s native token MATIC is among the 10 largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. MATIC sank 6.5% following the layoff announcement.
The token had been the geriausias atlikėjas among the top 20 cryptocurrencies over the preceding month, having gained 48%.
Around one year ago, Polygon raised 450 milijonų JAV dolerių in venture capital funding in a private token sale led by Sequoia India. Now, the team says its treasury remains “healthy,” with a balance of $250 million and over 1.9 billion MATIC ($2.53 billion).
Separately on Wednesday, Australian startup Nekintamas, creator of the NFT-focused Ethereum Layer-2 network Immutable X, disclosed it had slashed 11% of its staff.
Immutable cited a dearth in cash reserves and a push to redirect resources for the cuts. The Sydney Morning Herald pranešė that would include shaking up business units.
It also plans to transfer responsibility of some aspects of game development to external partners so it can focus on its crypto and Web3 components.
Praėjusiais metais įmonė atleista 6 proc. of its workforce, mostly affecting developers who worked on NFT-centric game Gods Unchained.
Genesis, Crypto.com, Blockchain.com and ConsenSys are among other crypto companies that recently reduced their workforces.
