DeGods, their quest for the Best Blockchain for NFTs & the ‘Art Downgrade’

DeGods - NFTs featuring godly, ancient dieties’ NFTs, with modern aesthetics!

In 2021, DeGods embarked on a remarkable journey on the Solana blockchain, bringing an unparalleled sense of rarity and community to the NFT ecosystem. The NFT collection's success, however, goes beyond the artwork; it's deeply rooted in the trust of their loyal community.

Community Trust to 100x

Community Trust to 100x is something that Kometverse has always visioned among the other aspects. With the initiatives like 0 commission Launch_, primary NFT aggregation, gasless and custom minting options with automated smart contract deployments, Dropzone for safer airdrops, etc., Kometverse exemplifies the power of community trust.

And believe it degens, that value of community trust to 100x is something we have long been witnessing in a few NFT collections, DeGods being one of those!

Now, let's dive into the exciting transitions and innovations that DeGods has been orchestrating in the world of blockchain and NFTs!

DeGods NFTs on Bitcoin

Bitcoin NFTs are all the buzz, with over 100,000 media assets finding their home on the blockchain in just two weeks since the inception.

Remarkably, among them are 535 NFTs from DeGods, the most valuable Solana NFT project. These images were originally released on Solana in 2021 but were "burned" to reduce supply. Now, they've been reborn on Bitcoin, featuring never-before-seen upgraded artwork that elevates the DeGods experience to new heights.

Here’s some insight from their journey ->

DeGods leaving Solana

DeGods has never shied away from unexpected twists. On December 25 2022, DeLabs founder Rohun "Frank" Vora unveiled a "social experiment" that would see DeGods NFTs bridged over to Ethereum, along with their DUST ecosystem token.

This bold move came after DeGods soared to prominence on Solana in the midst of a dynamic NFT scene. Solana was amazing to be born into and begin the life on, but with their eyes on larger-scale ambitions the Ethereum ecosystem has always been the final target for DeLabs.

And then, DeGods initiated their migration to Ethereum on April 1, 2023. However, holders may choose to keep their solana-based collectibles on the terms of losing access to ongoing incentives & future benefits.

DeGods’ Season 3 Debut

Between August 9 and 10, 2023, DeGods took the community by storm with the highly-anticipated Season 3 debut. An artistic update took center stage, promising to breathe new life into the project, aiming to create the "most elegant PFP possible." Traits were simplified, backgrounds were cleaned up, and female DeGods joined the collection, offering holders exciting options.

Community Sentiment

With every bold step, DeGods encounters mixed reactions from the community. This time too, some praised their innovation, while others critiqued the art and marketing approach. The DeGods floor price experienced fluctuations. But DeGods did not shy away from challenges and feedback, and their response to recent critique was nothing short of intriguing: the introduction of an "Art Downgrade."

Art Downgrade

Inspired by 1960s pop art icons like Roy Lichtenstein and classic American comic book illustrators, the Art Downgrade presented a simplified, nostalgic aesthetic that rejuvenates the DeGods collection with vibrant, non-dilutive artwork and a simpler art style. This innovation allowed DeGods holders to "opt into" the Season 3 upgrade for 333 $DUST per NFT.

Points Parlor'

DeGods didn't stop at art; they introduced "Points Parlor," a dynamic points system and a gamified business model that rewards NFT holders. It's not just a rewards platform; it's a novel ad product that connects brands directly with DeGods holders. Players can use their loyalty points to win exciting rewards, including brand-sponsored prizes worth over $250,000 USD.

Conclusion

DeGods' journey is a testament to creativity, innovation, and community-driven success. Their leaps across blockchains, artistic upgrades, and unique concepts like the "Art Downgrade" and "Points Parlor" showcase their commitment to redefining the NFT space.
