Frank, best known in the Web3 ecosystem as Frank Vora—the name he uses on X, formerly Twitter—has officially resigned as CEO in order to focus on building…whatever comes next. He was integral to the success of the DeGods NFT project. Co-founded by Frank in 2021, DeGods has been a fascinating project to follow under his creative direction. Frank shared his decision to pass the leadership to @0x_chill and @pastagotsauce, longtime team members, through a personal statement on X.

In recent weeks Frank has known both success and controversy. Earlier this year, he was challenged on the charges of insider trading, which he has strongly denied. As he departs, the project is poised to enter an exciting new chapter. Under the leadership of these new Co-Chairs, our amazing Tech Team will continue to shine.

Transition to New Leadership

Frank’s choice will prove to be a major inflection point in the DeGods project — and maybe NFTs at large. But @0x_chill and @pastagotsauce are respected leaders within the DeGods community. Even with their pseudonymous avatars, they carry significant experience into their new positions. Their appointment shows that there is a commitment to continuity, to the mission, and honoring what was built into the project’s foundation.

The leadership change represents a notable change in leadership. Further, it gives DeGods a perfect chance to shape its future path. The new leadership team is expected to bring fresh perspectives and strategies to the project, building on the foundation laid by Frank.

>As the team pivots the project in another direction, they want to acknowledge their community’s three-year journey. This approach reflects a commitment to preserving the essence of what made DeGods successful while embracing innovation and growth.

Community and Future Direction

The new leadership's immediate focus will likely be on engaging with the DeGods community, gathering feedback, and collaboratively shaping the project's future roadmap. The DeGods team understands that DeGods’ true power lies in its active community. They have resolved to do the hard work of creating a collaborative culture.

Frank’s exit as CEO of the company he’s folded doesn’t mean it’s over for his role in the Web3 spaceship. He was the co-founder of DeGods and its intellectual engine. His contributions in this regard will have a lasting impact not only on the project, but the NFT space at large. Though his exact plans are not yet public, his impact and acumen will surely be missed as he begins this new chapter.

Frank's Legacy and Future Endeavors

His tenure as chief executive was an era of innovation. He encountered significant barriers, including a quickly changing landscape and responding to scandals. Frank’s legacy will continue to glow in large part because of his visionary gaze. He created a powerful community and he led with the courage to try new things.

His tenure as CEO was marked by both innovation and challenges, including navigating the complexities of a rapidly evolving market and addressing controversies. Frank's legacy will be defined by his vision, his ability to build a strong community, and his willingness to experiment with new ideas.
