Eclipse Labs Overhauls Leadership and Strategy to Boost User engagement
In a surprising twist, Eclipse Labs, a prominent Layer 2 developer, has undergone meaningful restructuring. Just weeks after launching its token, the company replaced its CEO, Vijay chetty, with sydney Huang.Alongside this change, they cut 65% of its staff.
The firm is now shifting its focus. Initially an infrastructure provider, they are now set to develop their own consumer applications. This pivot aims to boost relevance and user engagement. The ES token,integral to Eclipse’s ecosystem,has seen a significant drop – over 65% since its launch.
- eclipse Labs replaces CEO Vijay Chetty with Sydney Huang.
- The company lays off 65% of its employees.
- From infrastructure to consumer apps: Eclipse Labs’ new strategy.
Huang explained that technology alone isn’t enough in today’s market; scale matters little without users. The goal now is to build applications in-house that drive demand for Eclipse’s high-throughput infrastructure.
This strategic shift, occurring nearly a month after Eclipse’s token generation event (TGE), seems driven by ES’s poor market performance. Since July 16,ES has lost over 65% of its value,standing at less than $0.16 as per CoinMarketCap data.
The firm bets that tangible product delivery will succeed were speculative token incentives have failed. This move reflects a broader trend in the Layer 2 space: a push towards lasting business models, real users, and actual revenue.
