Sky Mavis, the developer behind the prominent NFT game Axie Infinity, has announced a strategic layoff of 21% of its workforce, impacting approximately 50 employees. This decision aligns with the company's long-term growth strategy, focusing on core product development, including the expansion of the Ronin Network, Mavis Marketplace, and a new Axie Infinity game. Co-founder Nguyen Thanh Trung clarified that financial constraints did not drive this move. The company aims to capitalize on emerging crypto-friendly policies and anticipates significant innovation in utility-driven Web3 projects.
