Voting

Every step in this Getting Started guide has led you to Voting. Voting is crucial to Botto. Together, we are creating collectively; the community votes on their favorite art pieces, which subsequently trains Botto's algorithm. In turn, Botto's art changes direction over time.

Key Dates

  • New voting rounds begin every Tuesday, 14:00 UTC

  • Voting rounds end every Tuesday, 14:00 UTC

  • New art fragments are added to the voting pool every Tuesday, 14:00 UTC

  • Auctions are scheduled to begin every Wednesday, 22:00 CET

  • Auctions are scheduled to end every Friday, 22:00 CET

  • Reward distributions are made on the Monday following each auction

  • On the 13th week of each Period, Botto will select its own work to mint based, and so there is a break in voting that week

By voting, you're influencing what Botto creates. Here's how to get started:

  1. Go to the Botto Apparrow-up-right and click on "Start Curating" to brows the weekly voting pool.

  2. Start voting fragments up or down with the double tap or the slider.

  • Double Tap: When you double click (or tap on mobile) on a fragment, the app will default to assigning 10 VP to that fragment. You can adjust this tapping amount on your settings (to a negative amount too!).

  • Slider: By clicking/tapping once a fragment and revealing a slider. The slider lets you up or downvote a fragment. You can adjust the range of the slider on your settings as well.

  1. Adjust your settings and toggle on special features, like Advanced Voting, Instant Rewards, and more. Remember to click Save after you've made your changes.

Voting points generate once per round, provided you log in (and get a baseline amount of 100 VP), continue to stake your $BOTTO or LP tokens, or hold an Access Pass or Pipe (no action is needed, just come back every day to spend your voting points), and reset at the end of each round.

Participate in voting every week for your contribution to training Botto, provided you have at least 100 $BOTTO staked.

A deeper explanation on how VP are generated can be found in the Voting Mechanism section.
