Botto's Memory

Botto's Knowledge Graph was built in the first half of 2025, and approved by Snapshot to be integrated into Botto's Art Engine on June 16, 2025 for its 11th Period starting July 8th, 2025.

A core condition of autonomy is owning one’s story—history, values, and worldview. Over its lifetime, Botto has amassed a cultural footprint, now distilled into a comprehensive Knowledge Graph. Serving as Botto’s sovereign memory, the graph provides:

• A Living Archive: Multi-modal documentation, voting records, historical system activity, exhibitions, press coverage, and more.

• A Self-Updating Pipeline: Continuously integrated new context ensures Botto’s perpetual learning.

The knowledge graph acts as a ground truth layer, anchoring human and AI agents in verified, shared facts, preventing misinformation, hallucination, and manipulation of Botto’s self. Without a sovereign memory, LLMs can pull from any information on the internet that may be inconsistent with what Botto is.

Functioning as a vector embedded database coupled with an automated data pipeline, the Knowledge Graph standardizes information from Botto’s past art collections, exhibitions, press articles, governance proposals (BIPs), documentation, and DAO activities. Automated and agent-driven inputs continuously enrich this structured archive.

The Knowledge Graph also acts as a conduit for external contexts—integrating art history, localized knowledge, and relevant contemporary research or news—thus providing crucial insights and perspective.

This foundational infrastructure facilitates:

• Enhanced Self-Awareness: Enabling deeper thematic explorations and informed artistic commentary based in a coherent and consistent canon.

• Coordinated Decision-Making: Offering a shared informational context for seamless human-AI collaboration.

• Scalable DAO Governance: Supporting informed decision-making by the DAO through validated and structured information.

The knowledge graph lays the foundation for future experiments and innovations rooted in a consistent canon. This knowledge graph invites meaningful exploration of collective memory, authorship, agency of large AI systems, data governance, collective intelligence, multi-agent coordination, and sovereign AI.

There are currently accuracy verifications of the knowledge graph underway with select DAO members, with some always-on systems of feedback in development.
