🔥 CHI 250 MILLION USD ACQUIRED COMPANY BUT THEN FIRED EMPLOYEES THROUGH... EMAIL? IS POLYGON "SQUEEZING THE ORANGE AND THROWING AWAY THE PEEL"? 😡

Polygon Labs has just made its way onto the list of the most controversial crypto companies early 2026. Firing 30% of staff while the token is rising—could this be the true face of the "big players"?

❌ Reasons causing public outrage:

- Fired via Email? Multiple sources on social media accuse Polygon employees of only receiving a brief email notification about their termination. Although the CEO has issued a clarification, the wave of exits on X shows a less-than-rosy reality.

- Abandoning DeFi: Once thriving on DeFi Narratives and Scaling, now that they are "fully fledged," Polygon is ready to cut old segments to chase the trend of legal payments.

- The pain of builders: While top executives celebrate the X10 deal, hundreds of staff who dedicated themselves to the network are being laid off this week.

🤔 Question raised: Do you support ruthless restructuring for breakthrough, or oppose the inhumane behavior of successful Web3 projects? #GateLaunchpadIMU
