    <p lang="en" dir="ltr">I’m sure many of you have seen the news that Yuga is undergoing a restructure today. Shit day obviously.

 <p>Alegre, who officially became CEO at Yuga Labs in April 2023 after a previous announcement in December 2022, noted that “there were a number of projects that, while well-intentioned, either spread the team too thin or required execution expertise beyond our core competencies.”</p>
