Ten thousand gods in sunglasses, launched on Solana in October 2021 by Rohun Vora, known as Frank, and for a year the most valuable collection on that chain. Holders could burn a companion token to upgrade to skeletal 'DeadGods'. In March 2023 the collection bridged to Ethereum, the founder having decided the bigger chain was where the money was; later art seasons removed traits and drew complaints.
I bought a DeGod, made it a DeadGod, watched it cross to Ethereum, and at no point could I have explained to my sister what was happening. The record is for people like her.
The record should note that the Solana-to-Ethereum move was framed as a bridge, not a sale, and that the chain the collection left recovered without it. Neither party appears to have suffered a lasting injury.
Frank on Twitter, December 2022, announcing the move to Ethereum in a long thread that used the word 'legacy' about a collection fourteen months old. The record admires the confidence.
A DeGod is a god as drawn by a streetwear brand, and a DeadGod is the same god after paying to become a skeleton. The record files the upgrade as the clearest case of holders paying to make their pictures worse on purpose.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
