From general L2 to compliant privacy infrastructure—the team’s DNA has been completely overhauled. Brothers who got laid off, take your package and hang on to it.

zkSync developer Matter Labs’ CEO Alex Gluchowski said the company has laid off some employees. He said that since 2024, after beginning to build products for regulated financial institutions, the company has now fully focused on Prividium and institutional on-chain privacy infrastructure business. As customer needs change, the company needs to adjust its skills structure and job staffing, so it made the decision to lay off employees. The departing employees will receive financial support and assistance with relocating to new roles.
