Hey friends 👋
Wild few weeks in frontier tech.
Coinbase cut 700 people (14% of their headcount), framing it as restructuring for the AI era. KelpDAO got hit for $292M in what's now the biggest DeFi exploit of 2026 - Lazarus Group compromised a single-verifier bridge, drained 116,500 rsETH in under an hour, and wiped $13B in TVL from DeFi inside 48 hours. The LayerZero-vs-Kelp blame game is still playing out.
And those are the headline stories. Privately, I've been hearing from a lot of people going through quiet layoffs, restructures, and hiring freezes - mostly at mid-stage crypto companies.
Which is exactly why this newsletter exists.
