Snap Incs CEO Evan Speigel announced in a note on Friday that the company had made the difficult decision to reduce the size of its workforce by approximately 20

The note said that this round of layoffs comes after the company experienced slow revenue growth a slump in stock prices and a general lag behind its financial targets Speigel shared

Snap Inc will now undertake the task of restructuring in an attempt to ensure the companys success in a highly competitive space where Instagram and TikTok are currently dominating As part of its restructuring process the company has axed its entire Web3 team Jake Sheinman head of Snaps Web3 team announced his exit from the company on Wednesday in a series of posts on Twitter stating

CEO Speigel shared that the restructuring is a part of an effort to focus on three strategic priorities namely community growth revenue growth and augmented reality AR Projects that are not in alignment with these areas will be discontinued or have their budgets slashed significantly

At the moment it appears that Snap will not be prioritizing the budding Web3 and Metaverse space as much as its competition such as Meta Although many tech innovators seem to share the opinion that Web3 is going to be the next iteration of the internet Snap does not appear interested in positioning itself within the blockchain industry

Snaps layoffs come after other tech companies like Coinbase LinkedIn Meta Apple Google and Netflix have had to cut down their workforce due to rising interest rates in an inflationary economy
