The migration, which began on Tuesday, wasofficially announcedin December after months of speculation. DeLabs, the Los Angeles-based startup behind y00ts and its sister project DeGods,received a $3 million grantfrom Polygon to facilitate the move. Meanwhile, DeGods will also migrate away from Solana and plans to bridge over to Ethereum.

Y00ts, which launched in September 2022, is using across-chain bridgeto bring its 15,000-edition generative art collection to Polygon. Existing holders can begin the migration process byvisiting the y00ts websiteand connecting their wallets.

In order to incentivize holders to migrate their NFTs over to Polygon, DeLabs is waiving network fees for the first 24 hours. The team is also offering y00ts holders a chance to win anOrdinals-based DeGods NFTthat has beeninscribed on the Bitcoin network. Staking will also be free and holders will receive $5 USDC per Y00t listed on NFT marketplace Magic Eden.

Holders who do not migrate their NFTs by April 3 will be subject to a 33.3% “Paper Hands Bridge Tax,” which will result in a fine payable by increased royalty fees.

The project’s leader, Rohun Vora, known asFrank, tweeted that the move does not come without risk.

"I know that this is a risk. I don’t know what’s going to happen today, tomorrow or throughout the first few weeks. But I know we’re going to make it work,"he wrote. "The short-term might be out of our control, but the long-term is completely in our entire community’s control."

Nearly 10,000 y00ts have already been moved over to Polygon,according to OpenSea. The floor price of the collection is currently hovering around 1.8 ETH, or about $3,200.

It's rare to see top NFT projects like y00ts and DeGods move their entire ecosystem from one blockchain to another. Voratold holdersin a Twitter Space in December that a possible exploit of the bridge contract would be the biggest challenge.

The move hands another win to Polygon, which has continued to expand its partnerships with major brands includingStarbucks(SBUX),Nike(NKE),Reddit,Instagramand DraftKings.

This is a photo i took of my son playing around in one of our cat carriers, redressed to express the concern and damage the continuation of the trump administration could bring to the world in 2020 and beyond. Unlike the majority of my historic work found on opensea, all content was conceived and taken by me, so felt perfect to use as my first piece on Known Origin.
Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ‘Beautiful worlds’ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very “alternative route” which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. It’s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit – mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) – and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past “oil age”. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other – recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines – and then transform their relations towards nature – adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.
