Just as DeGods NFTs began regaining momentum on Ethereum and Solana, the project’s founder, Rohun Vora—better known as "Frank"—announced he's stepping away from day-to-day leadership.
After three years at the forefront of the popular NFT brand, Vora passed the reins to two new pseudonymous leads: 0x_chill and Pastagotsauce.
Clarifying the move, Vora dismissed any speculation around misconduct, stating there was nothing behind the scenes other than a desire for change.
Interestingly, his departure comes at a time when DeGods is experiencing renewed trading activity. According to CryptoSlam, the collection has seen a 101% increase in sales on Solana in the past week, hitting $458,000.
Ethereum-based DeGods have also surged, with a 156% weekly rise and over 300% growth in monthly volume, topping $250,000.
The new leadership has already hinted at a directional shift. In a post, Pasta emphasized the focus will move beyond product development and toward maximizing DeGods’ cultural impact and reach. A tribute to the project’s journey is also in the works.
DeGods appears to be entering a new phase—without its original founder, but with momentum and ambition on its side.
