Voting

As the title suggests, 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.

In the Rebellion Period, the DAO voted to add negative voting so that voters can express their distaste for a particular fragment for Botto to consider. This will likely help Botto narrow down its range. This page has yet to be fully updated to reflect this new behavior.

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

• Go to the Botto App and simply start browsing through the feed of artworks ("fragments").

• Click on the first icon from the left of the feed many to switch to 'Gallery' view.

There are two ways to vote:

• By double clicking (or tapping on mobile) on a fragment. This will default to assigning 10 VP to that fragment.

• By clicking/tapping once a fragment and revealing a slider. The slider lets you up or downvote a fragment.

• You can adjust the amount of VP that gets used when quick and range slider voting. Click on the settings icon on the top right corner of the page to do so.

• Remember to click Save.

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.

Return daily to vote on fragments and earn rewards 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.
