However, Ice Cube&#8217;s DeGod NFT is a mutated version of #3177. These mutated versions of DeGod NFTs are aptly named DeadGods. For a DeGod to mutate, one has to spend 1,000 $DUST to change the metadata of the NFT to a DeadGod resulting in a 1:1 swap of the non-fungible token.<\/p>\n<h2>About the DUST Token in the DeGods Universe<\/h2>\n<p>$DUST is the native token of the DeGods universe and can only be created by either burning NFTs or staking a DeGod.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of burning the NFTs for more DUST, the rarer a DeGod, the more DUST it will generate. Rarity is further determined <a href=\"https:\/\/rarity.degods.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">through rankings<\/a>. At the time of writing, 535 DeGods have been burnt, which is 5.35% of the total supply. 9,465 DeGods NFTs are now left in existence.<\/p>\n<p>With respect to staking DeGods, original NFTs that have not mutated earn 10 DUST tokens per day. DeadGods, on the other hand, yield three times this amount at 30 DUST.<\/p>\n<p>More information on the DeGods NFTs, including the project&#8217;s roadmap, can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.degods.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DeGods.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[Feature image courtesy of @icecube on Twitter]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: Legendary NWA and Westside Connection rapper, Ice Cube, has purchased a DeGod NFT for 265 Solana Ice Cube purchased the mutated version of a DeGod commonly referred to as a DeadGod DeGod NFT owners and fans were quick to welcome Ice Cube to the community Ice Cube is no stranger to NFTs as he believes they &#8216;give power to the people&#8217; Ice Cube, the legendary rapper and co-founder of both NWA and Westside Connection rap groups, is now part [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":570298,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[108339,108340],"tags":[108468,108441,108467,108182,108184,108243],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570293"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=570293"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":570302,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/570293\/revisions\/570302"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/570298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=570293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=570293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=570293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
