The founder of DeGods admits that leaving Solana for Ethereum was an awful mistake

Rohun Vora, the founder of DeGods, admitted that his decision to move his infamous NFT project from Solana to Ethereum stemmed from a period of panic.

After the collapse of FTX and a drastic fall in Solana's price, Vora attempted to soothe the community's anxiety by transitioning to Ethereum, home to many top-tier NFT projects. This decision, he now reflects, was driven by fear rather than conviction. Vora's frank admission sheds light on the pressures of leading a major NFT project amid market volatility, Decrypt states.

The move to Ethereum was initially framed as a step up into the elite NFT ecosystem. Yet, it faced criticism and controversy, highlighting the fine line between strategic decisions and reactive measures in the crypto space.

In a twist, Vora has recently opened an optional bridge for DeGods and y00ts back to Solana, giving the community a choice without forcing incentives. This approach reflects his learning curve—prioritizing resilience over appeasement. It's a clear shift from his earlier stance, aiming to build not just a successful community but a robust one.

Despite the challenges and criticisms, Vora remains committed to DeGods' growth. His latest moves signal a more thoughtful, conviction-driven leadership style, seeking to foster an "antifragile" community that thrives amidst adversity. For the NFT market, Vora’s transparency and strategic pivots offer valuable insights into the evolving dynamics and leadership challenges within this volatile industry.

The DeGods saga serves as a case study in the complexities of navigating market pressures and community expectations in the rapidly changing world of digital assets.
