DeGods, previously the top NFT project on Solana, might be making a comeback to its original blockchain. Founder Rohan Vohra, known as ‘Frank,’ has hinted at this possibility by sharing an image of a bridge test for transferring NFTs back to Solana.
The NFT project initially launched in late 2021 when Solana was nearing its peak performance and its NFT market was expanding. Despite becoming the most highly valued NFT project on Solana, DeGods faced challenges as SOL’s value dropped and the broader NFT market declined. The team announced in December 2022 that DeGods would migrate to Ethereum, a move completed by March 2023 during a particularly unstable period for Solana, which included not just technical issues but also complications from the collapse of the crypto exchange FTX.
Vohra at the time explained the move to Ethereum as necessary for continued growth, stating, “If Ethereum is where we have to go to keep growing, it’s what we have to do.”
Now, as circumstances evolve, DeGods is considering a return to Solana, suggesting a reconnection with the platform where its success story began. This development has elicited mixed reactions, with some community members questioning the practicality and implications of switching blockchains back and forth.
