Frank DeGods, the iconic founder of the DeGods NFT collection, is stepping down after three years, handing over the reins to two anonymous community members.
His departure coincides with a spectacular surge in sales: +101% on Solana and +156% on Ethereum in just one week.
The new team has a clear ambition: to expand DeGods beyond Web3, with a strategic refocusing and strengthened storytelling.
Frank DeGods Steps Down from NFT Ecosystem
Dramatic turn of events at DeGods: Frank, the iconic founder of the NFT collection, steps down as sales rise once again. After three years of leading the project, Rohun Vora, aka ‘Frank DeGods,’ hands over control, without crisis but not without significance.
A Voluntary Departure Amidst Rumors
“There is no investigation, because I have done nothing illegal. It’s the truth, even if it’s boring,” he writes on X. The message is clear: he steps down without scandal, passing the baton to two pseudonymous community figures, 0x_chill and Pastagotsauce. The keys to the ship are now in their hands.
But the timing raises questions. The announcement comes as DeGods returns to the spotlight, with renewed interest on the two blockchains that have driven the project: Solana and Ethereum.
DeGods Sales Soaring on Solana… and Ethereum
Over the past week, DeGods NFTs on Solana have seen sales volume of $458,000, a +101% increase according to CryptoSlam. In a month, the collection has accumulated $1.1 million in volume.
On the Ethereum side, the rebound is even more pronounced: +156% weekly growth, with over $104,000 in sales, and a monthly total exceeding $250,000, a +323% increase.
In other words, DeGods, which was almost written off after its contested migration from Ethereum to Solana and partial return, is bouncing back.
New Team, New Vision
Just appointed, Pasta, one of the new leaders, announces a change in direction. Are pure crypto experiments a thing of the past? “Our job is not to build Web3 products. It’s to make DeGods as big as possible,” he declares. The tone is set: refocusing, ambition, and storytelling.
A tribute to the three years of project history is already planned, like a milestone assessment before a strategic transformation.
NFT Market Lurking
This resurgence is part of a broader market recovery. Between May 6 and 12, global NFT sales increased by 17%, surpassing $120 million. DeGods is clearly riding this wave.
