The Art Engine

How does Botto work?

Botto makes use of a combination of AI algorithms including VQGAN + CLIP, GPT-3, and others (see ), and a number of custom augmentations to generate all of the unique images, titles, and artist descriptions. Botto learns and develops based on votes from the community (see ).

Is there any human involvement in Botto’s process?

Other than voting, the only human involvement is in some minor edits of artist descriptions written by Botto for the final mint for typos and punctuation.

Can Botto add capabilities?

Yes, Botto will grow up and learn new abilities over time and as governance determines.

Where did Botto come from?

Botto is based on a 2018 whitepaper by generative artist Mario Klingemann (a.k.a. ). Quasimondo is part of the founding team and designed Botto.

$BOTTO Tokens

Where do I get $BOTTO?

Where do I see the price of $BOTTO?

What is the token distribution?

Access Pass

Where do I get an Access Pass?

Should I get an Access Pass or $BOTTO?

$BOTTO is the only way to get full membership into the DAO, however the Access Pass is designed for a simpler entry into the Botto ecosystem and makes a nice collectible. It provides voting points to vote on the art, and there are $BOTTO rewards for completing certain actions that enable users to earn their way into membership and help cover the costs of joining.

Access Passes will also add voting points to what is already earned from staked $BOTTO, but cannot be stacked beyond your highest earning Access Pass.

Voting and VPs

How do I vote/help train the AI?

  • Easily login with your social media credentials or crypto wallet to get a baseline amount of 100 Voting Points (VP)

  • Stake your $BOTTO or LP tokens, or get an Access Pass or Pipe on secondary to earn more voting points (VPs)

  • Vote for your favorite pieces (“fragments”)

What’s the right voting strategy to best train Botto?

Go with your gut and pick your favorite of the two fragments presented to you, even if you don’t love either one.

Does spending more VPs add more weight for training?

No, spending more VPs only makes the fragment more likely to be picked for auction at the end of the week. As far as training goes, all votes are equal regardless of weight.

How do I get VPs?

Do I get any rewards from voting?

Auctions

When and where does the art get auctioned off?

What happens with the proceeds?

40% of revenue is distributed directly to contributors, the other 40% goes to the treasury controlled by the DAO, and finally 20% goes into adding to the Protocol-Owned-Liquidity position.
