Frank DeGods (Rohun Vora), the founder and CEO of the DeGods NFT project, officially stepped down from his leadership role on May 12, 2025, concluding a significant period at the helm since the project's launch in 2021.
Following his resignation, DeGods NFT sales on Solana soared by 101%, with a recorded sales volume of approximately $458,000 in the last seven days—a sharp rise from the previous week. On Ethereum, DeGods sold $104,000 worth of NFTs in the past week, marking a substantial 156% week-on-week increase. Over the last 30 days, sales volumes on Ethereum reached more than $250,000—a 323% surge. This shows heightened investor confidence and renewed community interest in the collection.
The leadership transition places pseudonymous figures 0x_chill and Pastagotsauce as the new project heads. Pasta has already indicated plans to honor DeGods' three-year history and hinted at a strategic shift for further growth. The collection, which initially launched and found success on Solana before migrating to Ethereum in early 2023, continues to leverage its cross-chain presence to broaden its appeal and ecosystem strength.
In addition, the overall NFT market is seeing increased interest, with total sales up 17% over the last week to more than $120 million, according to CryptoSlam.
