august 9th, 2023 was the day we launched "degods season iii" it was the day after - that it became clear to me the depth of the problems we had within our company. it started when we created @dust_labs in 2022 - a venture backed business - to create SaaS tooling for Web3. the idea was to create a separate company to build the technology that we would use & then popularize. meanwhile the original business @delabsxyz focuses on building the community. at the time it made sense. it was the depth of the bear market & we were in the middle of an 11 month run of new ATH's like every week. how could a new company, with an experienced new CEO, a new business stream... possibly hurt? the red flags started to become apparent immediately. the software team bloated out. priorities started to shift away from our community. our best people & key resources were stacked for @dust_labs, which i really didn't have much control over. it was like 2 boats rowing in opposite directions. eventually, almost everyone burned out. after august 9th, i tried my best to stay positive - but i just knew that our issues were deeper. the changes i wanted to make were just too intense to accidentally leak on twitter. after a 2-year run of being active on twitter almost every single day, i had to stop tweeting. this began the multi-month process of fixing the company from the inside. so, here's what we did: • we merged @delabsxyz & @dust_labs into a single company. • we decided to part ways with Kevin • our team is currently 13 people full-time w/ >2 years of runway • i am now the CEO of the merged company at this point - you might be reading this & thinking - "ok, so now what?" and i could sit here and tell you all the bullish things & how as CEO i'm going to do all of these things & then we can all get hyped about it for 2 hours & then back to more of the same. i've had a version of this post sitting in drafts for a while. it followed all the rules of communications 101. it was strong & confident & forward looking... it just felt hollow. the truth is much more simple. i'm confident in our future because of our team. the outside-the-box thinking. the raw talent. the work ethic. this is a list of everyone on the team full-time today: 1. @0x_chill 2. @thebasedbob 3. @taylordegods 4. @wolvrinheart 5. @LeonardMainnet 6. @aarondegods 7. @malcolmDeGods 8. @sircandyapple 9. @budaz__ 10. @C00perNFT 11. @jerryfeng 12. @pastagotsauce my simple request is that you follow each of them. each person on this list is at least a little autistic. valhalla or bust. lock in lock in you honestly have to be a little crazy to still be here. whether that's on the team or in our community. but you have to be fucking nuts to fade us now. godspeed, inshallah. 2024.


We are scrapping DeGoddesses (as a collection) for now. I spoke with @urbrobecc & @TwixCashew about this decision at length. We had a better idea. 1/1 DeGoddesses for every female holder.
