In the note, Gharegozlou announced a corporate restructuring and said that “as part of this restructure, we have made the difficult decision to part ways with team members representing 20% of full-time employees," he wrote.
Gharegozlou also noted that the company is in a “strong cash position with no outstanding debt.”
Dapper had previously laid off 22% of its staff in November.
"With the right cost structure, we can think long term," Gharegozlou wrote. "Our goal is to grow our communities sustainably."
He added: "The shift we’ve undergone over the past several months has not been easy, but it was necessary to get us in fighting shape for the path ahead."
On Monday, a federal judge ruled that Dapper’s NBA “Top Shot Moments” non-fungible tokens could be considered securities. Gharegozlou wrote in his note that the case would not be going to discovery and that no "substantive decision" had been made.
