Voxels Office Closure Signals Major Industry Shift
Voxels Office Closure Signals Major Industry Shift
馃彚 Voxels office goodbye
Voxels is shutting down its physical office as the virtual world platform prepares for a major downsizing.
The company's leadership announced they're selling the office space and dramatically reducing team size from 30 to just 3 people.
Key changes:
- Office closure and sale in progress
- Team reduction from 30 to 3 members
- Shift to AI-powered operations using modern LLMs
The move reflects a broader trend in tech where companies are leveraging AI tools to maintain operations with significantly smaller teams.
Voxels, known for its Ethereum-based virtual world where users can build and trade blockchain-recorded property, appears to be restructuring for efficiency rather than shutting down entirely.
This downsizing highlights how AI is reshaping workforce needs across the web3 and gaming sectors.
I鈥檓 clearing out the voxels office and getting ready to sell it. With modern LLMs a team of 3 can do better than we did with a team of 30.
