Axie Infinity creator Sky Mavis is laying off 21% of its staff, or roughly 50 employees, as part of efforts to streamline operations and focus on core products, multiple sources told TechInAsia.

多位消息人士告訴 TechInAsia，Axie Infinity 的創造者 Sky Mavis 將解僱 21% 的員工，即大約 50 名員工，作為精簡營運和專注於核心產品的努力的一部分。

The move comes as the game developer is adjusting to the aftermath of a massive hack and downturn in the cryptocurrency and NFT markets.

此舉正值遊戲開發商正在適應大規模駭客攻擊以及加密貨幣和 NFT 市場低迷的後果。

Sky Mavis co-founder Nguyen Thanh Trung emphasized in an X post that the decision was not driven by financial pressures, adding that the move is a “strategic shift that allows for a sharper focus and positioning Sky Mavis for hypergrowth in 2025 and beyond.”

Sky Mavis 聯合創始人Nguyen Thanh Trung 在X 帖子中強調，這一決定並非出於財務壓力，並補充稱此舉是「戰略轉變，可以讓Sky Mavis 更加專注，並為2025 年及以後的高速增長做好準備。

“The decision to part ways with talented team members was not made lightly and does not reflect their contributions to Sky Mavis. […] In order to better focus on these products and have the agility needed to open Ronin in Q1, we have made the tough decision to let go of 21% of our workforce.

「與才華橫溢的團隊成員分道揚鑣的決定並不是輕易做出的，也沒有反映出他們對 Sky Mavis 的貢獻。 [...] 為了更好地專注於這些產品並擁有在第一季開設 Ronin 所需的敏捷性，我們做出了艱難的決定，解僱 21% 的員工。

Nguyen Thanh TrungTrung also shared that Sky Mavis would not pursue new directions, stating, “rather than trying to build products for all users, we are doubling down on what makes Sky Mavis truly exceptional.” As a result, the game developer will focus on the Ronin wallet and expanding the Ronin Network “for more builders.”

Nguyen Thanh TrungTrung 還表示，Sky Mavis 不會追求新的方向，他表示，“我們不是試圖為所有用戶打造產品，而是加倍努力，讓 Sky Mavis 真正與眾不同。”因此，遊戲開發人員將專注於 Ronin 錢包，並為「更多開發者」擴展 Ronin 網路。
