Do Kwon’s Terraform Labs has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware, estimating between $100 million to $500 million in both assets and liabilities.

In the January 21 filing, the company said it plans to settle debts owed to employees and vendors without seeking additional financing.

The company also says that filing for bankruptcy will allow it to navigate ongoing legal proceedings in Singapore and the US.

Some of the unsecured creditors mentioned in the filing include Standard Crypto Venture and TQ Ventures.
