Polygon Labs Laying Offs

Besides the layoff, Polygon Labs confessed to taking action to support the affected team by compensating them with severance pay. The dismissed workforce will join the OxPolygon community, a platform that provides financial support to the Polygon team.

A few months ago, the company’s human resource manager Bhumika Srivastava announced a 40% headcount increase. Srivastava’s statement revealed that Polygon attempted to gain a competitive edge amid market recovery. 

Undeniably, the FTX implosion that plunged high-profile crypto firms into the liquidity crisis has prompted the companies to reduce their expenses and survive the sluggish market. Since last year the crypto firms have continued to battle price fluctuation and spiking interest rates.

The regulators are prioritizing formulating stricter crypto regulations to flee non-compliant firms and safeguard the investor interest.
