He adds that there were other chains offering more money to the team as well. But clarifies his decision to choose Polygon, describing it to be the best direction for the y00ts project overall.<\/p>\n<p>Vora also states that the company will expand its business with growing teams. The teams include business development, graphic design, content creation, and event coordination personnel.\u00a0The revelation of the investment comes a week after the<a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/degods-and-y00ts-nft-collections-will-leave-solana-and-bridge-to-ethereum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> DeGods team announced its plans to shift blockchains<\/a>. According to DeLabs, the DeGods project will bridge to Ethereum, whereas the y00ts project shifts to Polygon.<\/p>\n<p>In the ongoing crypto winter, the Solana cryptocurrency is down 91% from last year\u2019s valuation. For context, SOL continues to drop since its November 2021 high of $258. As of the time of writing, SOL hovers around a value of ~$13.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"About_y00ts\">About y00ts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.y00ts.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">y00ts<\/a> is a top NFT project built by DeLabs, the founders of (former) leading Solana project <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/degods-the-ultimate-guide-to-y00ts-dust-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DeGods<\/a>. y00ts is a 15,000 unit profile picture (PFP) NFT project. And DeGods is a 10,000 digital art collection. Frank also added that with the funds and the expanded team, he aims to achieve even more quality projects.
