Despite the turbulence, he noted that the business still has a solid balance sheet. Wagner further stated that the runway previously given the ongoing operations has now been reduced by about 50%. On Friday night, he moderated a Discord town hall to address the incident.

Wagner expressed regret to FTX and the users and staff of the Solana-based gaming <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/meta-plans-large-scale-layoffs-as-metaverse-interest-declines">metaverse</a>, claiming that FTX had broken his confidence.
