Frank DeGods – real name Rohun Vora – is the founder and former CEO of NFT Collection Degods.
The 10,000-piece Degods NFT series was cast on Solana in October 2021 and is one of the most famous PFP collections in Web3. Thanks to Frank’s efforts, the series has earned a reputation for innovations out of the box – a reputation that has brought Degods to a passionate community, one of the closest connections in the blockchain space.
Despite its success, Frank has been frequently criticized for his leadership over the DEGODS series. From migrating DEGOD and Y00T from Solana to Bitcoin and Ethereum, to another, to lengthy statements that cannot clarify the purpose and direction of the project – including acknowledging that he “trusts others on the team to lead the charge” – both DEGODS holders and the broader Web3 community have become increasingly important to his actions in recent months.
Frank’s statement said his resignation as DEGODS CEO since February 16 was his first public statement, announcing that he “retired my main public wallet” after allegations of insider trading, noting that “no sense attempt to prove anything to you.”

The role of DEGODS CEO will be shared by two members of the DEGOD team: @0x_chill and @pastagotsauce.
Both are well known to the Degods community, but their real names or faces are not publicly disclosed. Like Frank, it remains to be seen whether this will continue to exist or will become a “public face” of the brand.
Pasta said in announcing DeGods Discord’s announcement (especially not thanking Frank for his contribution) that the coming weeks will see “a respect for the past three years and everything we have built together” and “things look different after that.”
Although there are no other details on what may be revealed in the future so far, Pasta notes that “Degods are being [sic] The best times are chaos, creativity and fun” and their job is to “make the dehydration as large as possible”.
