Coop is a true Avalegend.
I'd like to clear the air here.
It's true, I'm no longer with Ava Labs and won't be working on Avalanche in the near future.
But this isn't a disaster for me, and it's not a disaster for Avalanche.
I've been in the Avalanche community for almost 5 years now, working at Ava Labs for 3.
It's insane how much changes over time in this young industry, and this is a natural departure time for me. It might feel bad, but I'm still going to be around if everything works out.
When I started, gaming was basically a future dream. We had Crabada, but the team always wanted games we would play as a teenager, games that could change the perception of crypto.
I joined Ava Labs at a time where we had some of those games lined up but still a ways off, so we built a great gaming community and brand in preparation and those games just swept web3 gaming awards in 2025.
But I think the industry is shifting again - it's B2B, it's stablecoins, it's institutional finance, and ofc trading. Naturally my career path has to change with it.
This happens a lot in startup industries, things change, and you have to keep finding ways to contribute.
We also have a baby coming in a few weeks, so the pressure of figuring out what I will continue to do is high.
Ava Labs is allowing me time to do that by covering my paternity leave. Everyone has offered to help me in any way they can.
I'm really proud of what we did as a team and community; you guys are amazing. It's honestly the saddest part for me and I hope to find a next job that allows me to still be a big part of the Avalanche community.
And finally, I know price sucks. I believe everyone at Ava Labs knows how important that is.
