Businesses are getting squeezed from all angles right now. Costs keep climbing while spending stays flat—a brutal combination that's catching a lot of companies in a tight spot. When you're burning money faster than you can allocate new budgets, operations start feeling the pain. This kind of pressure tends to ripple through the whole ecosystem, affecting everything from hiring to R&D spending to investment strategies.

Really, companies are really struggling now. Costs are skyrocketing, but expenses are stuck, this move is brilliant.

Isn't this just the daily reality of Web3 projects now? Difficult fundraising, high costs, and still having to keep burning money... It's high time to see this reality clearly.

Rising costs and stagnant spending, this combination of measures is indeed aggressive. Many project teams are now struggling in this dilemma, even hiring is on hold, let alone R&D. On-chain projects understand this kind of pressure the best.

To be honest, many project teams are just holding on now. Costs are soaring but revenue isn't moving, how tough must these days be?

ngl this is the true reflection of the current market. Costs are rising but expenses remain unchanged. To put it simply, we're being squeezed to death and can't breathe at all.
