BlockBeats News, May 5th, Dragonfly partner Omar commented on Coinbase's approximately 14% workforce reduction (about 700 people), stating that this move aims to save around $225 million in annual salary costs and drive the company towards an "AI-first" organization restructuring.

He pointed out that AI has significantly transformed the production process, with engineering efficiency greatly improved, allowing non-technical teams to participate in production-level code development, and most workflows being automated.

Omar, citing internal insights, stated that Coinbase is reshaping itself into an organization structure that is "AI-centric, with human coordination at the edge," while advancing towards flatter management (compressed to fewer than 5 layers), eliminating purely managerial roles, and focusing on introducing AI-native talent capable of managing large-scale AI agents to achieve higher output efficiency.
