Rohun Vora, also known as “Frank DeGods,” revealed that he is stepping down after a three-year tenure leading the Solana-based NFT project. Vora introduced 0x_chill and Pastagotsauce as the new leaders of DeGods, dispelling any rumors of legal issues prompting his departure. The announcement coincided with a significant uptick in the collection’s popularity on the Ethereum and Solana blockchains.
