- DeGods creator Rohun Vora steps down as NFT sales surge across Solana and Ethereum.
- New project lead Pasta hints at a shift in strategy, focusing on expanding DeGods’ reach.
- NFT market sees a 17% sales increase as collections like Doodles and DeGods gain traction.
Rohun Vora – or “Frank DeGods,” as most people know him online – just stepped down as the head of DeGods. Yep, the guy who steered the ship for three years is out, right when the NFT collection is seeing a big spike in sales. Kinda interesting timing, huh? Anyway, he’s passing the torch to 0x_chill and Pastagotsauce. These two are the new folks running the show now.
In a post on X, Vora brushed off rumors that his exit was tied to some sort of shady business. “There are no investigations, because I have never done anything illegal. That’s the boring truth,” he wrote. Well, alright then.
Meanwhile, DeGods has been on a bit of a tear lately, especially on Solana and Ethereum. Let’s break it down.
DeGods NFT Sales Skyrocket
On Solana, DeGods is raking it in. CryptoSlam data shows that sales hit around $458,000 on May 12 – that’s a whopping 101% jump compared to the previous week. Over the last 30 days, the collection pulled in $1.1 million. Not bad for a project that just saw its CEO walk away.
And it’s not just Solana. Over on Ethereum, DeGods is also making moves. The collection brought in $104,000 in sales this past week – a 156% spike. Zoom out to the last month, and sales hit $250,000, marking a crazy 323% surge. Yeah, that’s some serious momentum.
New Leadership, New Plans
So, what’s the new crew got planned? Pasta – the new lead – teased a tribute to DeGods’ three-year run and hinted at a strategy shift. “Our job isn’t to build crypto products. It’s to make DeGods as big as it can possibly be,” Pasta said. Bold words. But can they deliver? Guess we’ll see.
NFT Market Gains Steam
And it’s not just DeGods feeling the love. The broader NFT market is having a moment too. From May 6 to 12, NFT sales topped $120 million, a 17% increase over the previous week. Doodles NFTs are also seeing a surge ahead of the DOOD token airdrop.
NFTs – still hanging on, still making waves. And for DeGods, it’s a whole new era. Stay tuned.
