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.
Where did you see it, and when? A date and a source that still resolves.
