MEGA lays off around 20% in restructuring: How should we assess its AI plans?
The team is shrinking by around 20% while AI product plans are being announced. These two things happened during the same period, but can we directly equate them with cause and effect?
According to a November 14, 2026 report by Cointelegraph author Ezra Reguerra, MEGA, the organization behind MegaETH, laid off around 20% of its staff following a restructuring, affecting roles in blockchain, wallets, ecosystem support, and communications. Co-founder Shuyao Kong did not disclose the exact number of people affected or the date of the layoffs, nor did she directly link them to the AI strategy. The report also says MEGA has pledged to invest around $30 million in developing products, including AI services. This is a planned investment, not money already spent, and it is not enough to conclude that there is already market demand for the products.

I’ll focus my observations on two things: whether the existing network, wallet, and ecosystem support can continue to operate reliably; and, after the planned public AI inference marketplace launches, whether it will clarify how model services are verified and user data is handled. The first concerns the experience of existing users; the second, whether the new product genuinely solves a problem. News can make people rush to label something bullish or bearish, but I’d rather wait for verifiable results. 🙂
