Those leaving the firm will get three months severance for full-time employees and extended stock option exercise window of two years. While the exact reason behind the layoffs remains undisclosed, Gharegozlou assured the firm remains in a "strong cash position with no outstanding debt."

"We are committed to our flagship products, tremendously excited about several major launches coming up this year, and more confident than ever that Web3 will remake digital life for the better for billions of people, over time," he added.
