Frank DeGods Steps Down as DeGods CEO, Successor Confirmed

Despite this success, Frank has seen frequent criticism for his leadership of the DeGods collection. From migrating DeGods and y00ts away from Solana to Bitcoin and Ethereum and back again, to lengthy statements that were unable to clarify the purpose and direction of the project – including an admission that he was “trusting the others on the team to lead the charge” – recent months have seen both DeGods holders and the wider Web3 community grow increasingly critical of his actions.

Frank’s statement that he is stepping down as DeGods CEO is his first public statement since February 16, where he announced he was “retiring my main public wallet” after allegations of insider trading, remarking that “it’s pointless trying to prove anything to you people”. The role of DeGods CEO is set to be shared by two members of the DeGods team: @0x_chill and @pastagotsauce. Both are well-known by the DeGods community, but have not publicly revealed their real names or faces. It remains to be seen whether this will continue to be the case, or if they will become a “public face” for the brand, much like Frank was.

In an announcement to the DeGods Discord – which notably didn’t thank Frank for his contributions over the years – Pasta stated that the coming weeks will see the creation of “an homage to the last three years and everything we built together”, and that “after that, things will look different”. Though no additional details on exactly what the future may hold have been revealed so far, Pasta noted that “DeGods was at it’s [sic] best when it was chaotic, creative, and fun”, and that their job is “to make DeGods as big as it can possibly be”.
