Blockchain analytics company Chainalysis is cutting headcount as it reorganizes to adjust to challenges in the crypto market.

The New York-based firm, which specializes in analyzing and tracking crypto transactions for risk-management purposes, said the reorganization will primarily affect its "go-to-market" team.

"As a part of this reorg, some folks will have new roles, responsibilities and reporting lines," a Chainalysis spokesperson told CoinDesk in an emailed statement. "Unfortunately, we will also part ways with some incredibly talented people within our team."

The cuts will affect less than 5% of Chainalysis' staff, the company said. The firm said it employs over 900 people, meaning the cuts would amount to 40 to 50 jobs.

Jobs cuts across the crypto industry have been a feature of the past few months as firms have adjusted to bear-market conditions. CoinDesk estimates that nearly 30,000 jobs have been cut by crypto firms since April 2022.

An Incentives Committee would direct programmatic token emissions, focusing allocations on participants that secure AVSs and contribute to the EigenCloud ecosystem.

알아야 할 것:

  • The Eigen Foundation has unveiled a governance proposal aimed at ushering in new incentives for its EIGEN token, shifting the protocol’s reward strategy to prioritize productive network activity and fee generation.
  • Under the plan, a newly formed Incentives Committee would manage token emissions, prioritizing participants who secure Actively Validated Services and expand the EigenCloud ecosystem.
  • The proposal includes a fee model that channels revenue from AVS rewards and EigenCloud services back to EIGEN holders, potentially creating deflationary pressure as the ecosystem grows.
