Polygon has slashed roughly 30% of its workforce through an internal restructuring, though an official announcement from the company remains pending. Behind this move lies a strategic pivot—the layer-2 scaling solution is recalibrating its business direction toward stablecoin payment infrastructure. The shift reflects how projects in the Web3 space are constantly reassessing priorities to capture emerging market opportunities.

Cut 30% of the staff without an official announcement yet, this move is a bit ruthless... But the move to shift to stablecoins feels like it was forced.

Laying off 30% and shifting to stablecoins, this move seems a bit rushed. It feels like they were pushed by the market.

Damn, Polygon is attacking again? 30%? That must hurt... Switching to stablecoin payments? Feels a bit passive.

A 30% layoff hasn't been officially announced yet... Polygon is quietly making adjustments, it seems the stablecoin sector is indeed a lucrative cake.

Layoffs of 30% without an official announcement, this move is a bit harsh Another stablecoin infrastructure is coming, does everyone want to bite this bone? Is Polygon clearing inventory or truly shifting direction? Web3 hasn't stopped burning money and expanding over the past two years, now it seems to be starting to contract

A 30% layoff and shifting towards stablecoins, it feels like Polygon is betting big... But honestly, this kind of adjustment is common in the crypto world, with many people playing the numbers game. Do I truly believe stablecoin payments are the future, or is it just that there's no way out right now...

A 30% layoff hasn't been officially announced yet, but this information is spreading extremely quickly... Is betting on stablecoins the new way out?

Layoffs of 30%, shifting to stablecoins? Polygon is going all-in on payments. --- This move is a bit aggressive; the Layer-2 route hasn't been fully explored before switching tracks. --- Another story of redefining itself; Web3 keeps jumping back and forth. --- Is the stablecoin race so competitive that even Polygon wants a piece of the pie? --- Laying off employees without an announcement; I don't see the transparency. --- Shifting to payment infrastructure? It feels like the market is pushing everyone in this direction. --- 30% of employees gone just like that; this is the daily life of crypto.
