Following the announcement, new DeGods project lead Pasta shared plans to release a tribute to the project’s three-year history and teased a shift in strategy.

“We’re also changing our strategy. Not drastically. But we are changing it. Our job isn’t to build crypto products. It’s to make DeGods as big as it can possibly be. That’s what you want. That’s what we want too. So that’s exactly what we’re gonna do,” Pasta wrote.
