<p>y00ts reportedly planned migration from Solana to Polygon in December 2022. After months of speculation, the migration took place near the end of March 2023. Polygon awarded DeLabs, the Los Angeles-based startup behind y00ts and its sister project DeGods, a $3 million grant to facilitate the move. Meanwhile, DeGods plans to transition away from Solana and onto Ethereum.</p>

<p>DeLabs waived network fees for the first 24 hours of the migration to encourage holders to migrate their NFTs to Polygon. Furthermore, the team gave y00ts holders the opportunity to win an Ordinals-based DeGods NFT that is inscribed on the Bitcoin network.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Staking was also free, with holders set to receive $5 USDC per Y00t listed on the NFT marketplace Magic Eden. Finally, holders who failed to migrate their NFTs by April 3 faced a 33.3% &#8220;Paper Hands Bridge Tax,&#8221; which resulted in a fine payable through increased royalty fees.</p>
