By Mark Jurgens One of the most hyped NFT projects is expanding its culture among the dead. Intro: A Cultural Web3 Symbol DeGods, built on Solana, is a deflationary NFT collection of degenerates, punks, and misfits who call themselves the gods of the metaverse and masters of their own universe. The collection of 10,000 NFTs was minted in October 2021 at 3 $SOL. Now the collection is trading across multiple DEXs, like Alpha.art and Magic Eden, sitting at a 90 $SOL floor with 5% of the total supply already burnt. Something made this project stand out from the rest, involving maybe the visually pleasing artwork, the story behind the eccentric characters, a strong community sense, and interesting cash flow opportunities for holders. Adding to this, DeadGods is launching on March 31, giving DeGods holders a dead version of their metapunks. DeGods x DeadGods Existing DeGods NFTs will be updated with new art: the NFTs will hold the same original DeGod plus a DeadGod version, making this an update with zero inflation. Each of the 153 original attributes was recreated in the 1:1 fine art DeadGods version. The @DeGodsCommunity praised artist Delilah in February via Twitter for her work in the project: “One thing has emerged as an absolute certainty. @delilahdegods is a fucking superstar & the DeadGods art has breathed new life & excitement into the DeGods community.” 40 SHILL Issue #50

DeGods will be able to drink StarDust to create a DeadGod. The DeadGod mint is on March 31 and will cost 1000 $DUST per DeGod. The team also clarifies that there won’t be enough $DUST for everyone to upgrade their DeGod for a while. The mint will take place on the DeGod staking site, and holders won’t need to unstake their NFTs to get the mutated form. Once they have both versions, holders can switch between DeadGod and DeGod anytime for an undetermined amount of $DUST per switch. Some of the newly converted attributes: The boring plank is a flamboyant knife, and the mushroom hat is a mushroom cloud. Staking and the $DUST Protocol DeGods main use cases are for $DUST staking and providing a DeDAO membership. The team launched on January 2022 $DUST, an SPL token on Solana with a starting supply of zero. The token will power the DeGods universe: it will be used to mint exclusive NFTs and in TBA play-toearn games and betting platforms. The team explained some of the upcoming $DUST utility in a January tweet: “We’re going to be launching unique, game-theory based NFTs all year and will be accepting $DUST for the mints. Because these games will be so cheap in $ terms, the game dynamics will be degenerate and brutal. There will be some insane rewards for winners though.” Every staked DeGod mines 10 $DUST per day, while every staked DeadGod mines 30 $DUST per day. Holders can also burn their DeGods to claim $DUST in relation to their rarity. There is no other way to mine $DUST. SHILL Issue #50 41
