At least seven Blockworks employees announced departures across October and November as the crypto data company prioritizes product development. Departing staff include Jake Koch-Gallup, Nick Carpinito, Kunal Doshi, Silvio Busonero, Westie, Nikhil and AJC. Koch-Gallup, who joined Blockworks after two years at Messari and six months following its acquisition, questioned the shift away from independent crypto research, while Westie described product development positively after helping establish the research team and build the data operation. Blockworks opened its MCP (a standard for connecting AI tools to data) service to all users on Nov. 3, providing new accounts with $100 in credits, and published the final 0xResearch newsletter on Nov. 6. The departures were not presented as a coordinated resignation, and employees described varied experiences and next steps.
