Most bluechip non-fungible token (NFT) collections are usually animal avatars, but not DeGods. As humanoid Gods, they have carved their own path and made themselves known through the good vibes and innovations they have contributed to the Solana NFT space. And today, they are poised to become the gods of the Solana metaverse, as planned. DeGods didn’t start out as a hype project.
