While proponents such as Animoca Brands’ co-founder continue to support the non-fungible token space, the sector has lost its glory. Creators fail to appease market players. Recently, invezz.com reported how Azuki faced community backlash after launching a collection similar to its original NFTs.
The NFT market struggle has forced many associated firms to adjust their operations. The Dapper Labs chief Roham Gharegozlou tweeted about the platform’s third layoff round on Thursday (July 13).
We said goodbye to 51 brilliant colleagues and friends today @dapperlabs – this is the note I sent our team.
We remain fully dedicated to our core communities and committed to building amazing products that push the world forward together.

Known for NBA Top Shot and CryptoKitties, Dapper Labs is a recognized NFT powerhouse. However, the deteriorated non-fungible token industry has seen the firm trimming its staff over the past year, with the latest affecting 51 employees.
Meanwhile, this represents the third layoff the firm has executed within the past year. In February, Dapper Labs reduced its staff by 20%, following November 22% employee layoff.
Garegozlou added that the restructure aims to streamline their business undertakings to ensure healthy communities and happy followers, promising striving developments.
“The path forward is ambitious, and there will be more challenges ahead, but the future is ours to build.”
The NFT sector continues to deteriorate, recording significant plunges in users and sales volume. For instance, Bored Apes collections failed to recover even as other crypto spaces saw a post-FTX revival.
Justin Bieber purchased an APE as the non-fungible token industry recorded eye-catching surges early in 2022. The musician paid a whopping $1.31 million to acquire the BAYC NFT. However, the lull marketplace welcomed massive slumps of 95%. The highest bidder wants to pay around $59,000 for Bieber’s art.
Justin Bieber purchased this #BoredApeYC #NFT in January 2022 for $1.31 million.
In today's market, it is worth $59,090.

Indeed, NFT creators will have to find new ways to attract the community attention. Many market players believe non-fungible tokens are hype-based assets without real-world utility.
