隨著領導層持續變動，Polygon Labs 進行重組並取消營運長職位

過去兩年擔任 Polygon Labs 營運長的 Michael Blank 已宣布離職。在此之前，公司內部發生了一系列關鍵高階主管離職和裁員。 Blank 的離職與營運長職位的取消同時發生，因為 Polygon Labs 的目標是簡化營運並專注於零知識技術。儘管在加密市場低迷期間面臨挑戰，Polygon Labs 已顯示出穩定的跡象，並為未來的成長做好準備。

Polygon Labs Chief Operating Officer Michael Blank Departs Amidst Company Restructuring

Polygon Labs 營運長 Michael Blank 在公司重組期間離職

On Thursday, March 16th, Polygon Labs announced the departure of Michael Blank, its Chief Operating Officer (COO) for over two years. This news comes amidst a series of leadership changes and layoffs that have affected the company in recent months.

3 月 16 日星期四，Polygon Labs 宣布任職兩年多的營運長 (COO) Michael Blank 離職。這項消息是在近幾個月影響該公司的一系列領導層變動和裁員之際發布的。

A spokesperson for Polygon Labs confirmed Blank's departure to DL News, stating that the COO position has been eliminated as part of a company-wide restructuring. Blank, who joined Polygon Labs in March 2022, will remain with the company for a few months to facilitate a smooth transition.

Polygon Labs 的發言人向 DL News 證實了 Blank 的離職，並表示作為全公司重組的一部分，營運長職位已被取消。 Blank 於 2022 年 3 月加入 Polygon Labs，他將在公司工作數月，以促進平穩過渡。

The elimination of Blank's role follows significant layoffs in February, when Polygon Labs let go approximately 60 employees, around 19% of its workforce. Additionally, the company has witnessed the departure of several key leaders over the past year, including two co-founders, the former Chief Financial Officer, and the former President.

在 2 月進行大規模裁員後，Blank 的職位被取消，當時 Polygon Labs 裁掉了約 60 名員工，約佔其員工總數的 19%。此外，在過去的一年裡，該公司見證了幾位主要領導人的離職，其中包括兩名聯合創始人、前財務長和前總裁。

Polygon Labs, which supports the Polygon family of blockchains and related products, declined to provide further comment on the COO's departure. Blank himself did not respond to a request for comment.

支持 Polygon 區塊鏈系列及相關產品的 Polygon Labs 拒絕對營運長的離職發表進一步評論。布蘭克本人沒有回應置評請求。

Polygon's Challenges and Restructuring

Polygon 的挑戰與重組

Polygon, a prominent blockchain platform, has faced challenges in recent times. In December 2021, the market capitalization of its native token, MATIC, reached a peak of nearly $20 billion, boosted by partnerships with major companies like Starbucks, Mastercard, Meta, Disney, and Reddit. However, with the decline in the cryptocurrency market, Polygon Labs has experienced instability.

Polygon 是一個著名的區塊鏈平台，近年來面臨挑戰。 2021 年 12 月，在與星巴克、萬事達卡、Meta、迪士尼和 Reddit 等大公司合作的推動下，其原生代幣 MATIC 的市值達到近 200 億美元的峰值。然而，隨著加密貨幣市場的下滑，Polygon Labs 出現了不穩定的情況。

In February 2023, Polygon Labs laid off 100 employees, approximately 20% of its workforce. Subsequently, co-founder Anurag Arjun announced his plans to step away from the project. Former Chief Financial Officer Young Ko, former President Ryan Wyatt, and co-founder Jayanti Kanani also announced their departures or plans to step back.

2023 年 2 月，Polygon Labs 解雇了 100 名員工，約佔員工總數的 20%。隨後，聯合創始人 Anurag Arjun 宣布計劃退出該計畫。前財務長 Young Ko、前總裁 Ryan Wyatt 和聯合創始人 Jayanti Kanani 也宣布離職或計劃退出。

Meanwhile, MATIC's market value plummeted from $20 billion to less than $5 billion in September, according to CoinGecko. Polygon Labs has since consolidated and spun off Polygon Ventures, its venture firm, into a separate entity in December. It plans to separate the team behind Polygon ID, a blockchain-based identity toolkit, in the coming months.

同時，據 CoinGecko 稱，MATIC 的市值在 9 月從 200 億美元暴跌至不到 50 億美元。此後，Polygon Labs 於 12 月合併並剝離了其創投公司 Polygon Ventures，成為一個獨立的實體。它計劃在未來幾個月內分離基於區塊鏈的身份工具包 Polygon ID 背後的團隊。

Focus on Zero-Knowledge Technology

專注零知識技術

Polygon Labs has expressed its intention to focus on zero-knowledge technology, a cryptographic method that enhances blockchain data processing speed. The company believes this technology will enhance its competitive advantage.

Polygon Labs 表示有意專注於零知識技術，這是一種提高區塊鏈資料處理速度的加密方法。該公司相信這項技術將增強其競爭優勢。

Boiron, President of Polygon Labs, acknowledged the challenges faced by the company in February but emphasized the need for efficiency and nimbleness. "However, to move as ambitiously and nimbly as possible where everyone is able to take ownership of what they're doing, we must create an efficient surgical team, with significantly less bureaucracy."

Polygon Labs 總裁 Boiron 承認公司在 2 月面臨的挑戰，但強調了效率和靈活性的必要性。 「然而，為了盡可能雄心勃勃和靈活地採取行動，讓每個人都能對自己正在做的事情負責，我們必須建立一支高效的外科團隊，並大幅減少官僚作風。”

As the cryptocurrency market continues to experience volatility, Polygon Labs remains committed to its mission of driving blockchain adoption. The company's recent restructuring, including the departure of Blank, is seen as a strategic move to enhance its operational efficiency and focus on key technological advancements.

隨著加密貨幣市場持續波動，Polygon Labs 仍致力於推動區塊鏈採用的使命。該公司最近的重組，包括 Blank 的離開，被視為提高營運效率和專注於關鍵技術進步的策略舉措。
