anchored·3n7xeb…oSdiSummary
y00ts is a generative art NFT collection of 15,000 pieces created by Rohun Vora (known as 'Frank') and DeLabs, originally launched on Solana in September 2022. The project became notable not only for its peak valuations during the 2022 NFT boom but for an unusually turbulent migration history — leaving Solana for Polygon with a $3M grant, then abandoning Polygon for Ethereum after just four months and returning the grant, before ultimately migrating back to Solana in 2024. The project's credibility has been repeatedly questioned by its community following these pivots, the founder's May 2025 resignation, and a disputed wallet breach incident.
