Popular NFT project y00ts has announced that it will migrate from the Polygon (MATIC) blockchain to Ethereum (ETH). The project had only moved to the Polygon ecosystem earlier this year from Solana (SOL). y00ts mentioned that it will also repay the $3 million grant that Polygon gave as part of the change.
y00ts will join the DeGods library on Ethereum once the migration is complete. Both projects were created by Rohun Vora, aka Frank, in October 2021. In April, the company had already moved DeGods to Ethereum. Frank stated via a tweet that,
“We tried our best to make it work, but we just need to bring our 2 communities together.”
The project tweeted that they still love Polygon (MATIC), but it’s time to unite DeGods and y00ts on Ethereum (ETH). The project also reaffirmed that the grant, which will be returned, will be redeployed for NFT ecosystem growth.
However, the move to Ethereum was announced all the way back in December 2022. Back then, Frank said that the decision had been made to “explore new opportunities.” Additionally, he had claimed that this would enable the collections to expand.
