Solana’s NFT projects y00ts and DeGods will move to Polygon and Ethereum respectively in 2023. This news was confirmed on Twitter on Sunday.
DeGods and Y00ts
While details are scarce, both projects said more information about the bridge will be released when it is ready and tested, as they want to make sure the bridge is watertight.

In the meantime, y00ts will release its roadmap for the second season in January, while DeGods will release its roadmap for the third season in the same month.
“You can argue that DeGods has run out of Solana,” project lead Rohun Vora, known as Frank, said in a Twitter space on Monday. “It’s hard to accept, but it’s been hard to grow at the pace we want to. If Ethereum is where we need to go to keep growing, that’s what we need to do.”
In September, Dust Labs raised $7 million to build DeGods’ native token, $DUST. The company is reportedly creating an NFT incubator, according to crypto and Web3 blogger JToyts, who responded to Twitter influencer Crypto King’s question, “Why bridge one to eth and one to matic?” However, a Google search for more information on the NFT incubator yielded no verifiable results.

Y00ts might have chosen to bridge to Polygon not only because of its low cost and scalability, but also because of the reputation it has forged as a Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum.
In recent months, Polygon has partnered with well-known names and popular platforms.
For example, social aggregation site Reddit chose to build its “collectible avatars” on Polygon. As of this month, more than 5 million avatars have been purchased, while 306,000 Reddit users (7.7% of headlines) own an average of 3.4 avatars per user.
In September, Starbucks announced its NFT loyalty program on Polygon and recently opened it up for beta testing.
The decision by y00ts and DeGods to migrate to other blockchains bodes ill for Solana, which has taken a hit since FTX collapsed last month.
The project’s founders, Frank and Kevin, gave no reason for leaving the Solana ecosystem.
