Kup Botto (BOTTO) w France

Botto is a decentralized autonomous artist that operates through a combination of artificial intelligence and community governance. Launched in late 2021, the project was created by artist Mario Klingemann along with a software collective. It functions as a generative art system that produces thousands of unique digital images every week using various machine learning models. From these thousands of images, a smaller selection is presented to the community for review. Members of the Botto ecosystem use the project's native token to participate in a voting process. By voting on these art fragments, participants express their aesthetic preferences, which serves two primary purposes. First, the collective votes act as a feedback loop that trains the AI's taste model, guiding its future creative direction and evolving its artistic style over time. Second, the voting process identifies a single piece each week to be minted as a unique digital artwork and sold at auction. The project token is central to this decentralized structure. Beyond enabling the selection of artwork, the token is used for broader governance decisions within the Decentralized Autonomous Organization, or DAO. Token holders can vote on proposals regarding the project's technical development, artistic themes, and operational parameters. Staking the token is generally required to earn voting points, allowing community members to actively shape the identity and career of the autonomous artist. The system is designed to be self-sustaining. Revenue generated from the weekly auctions is distributed within the ecosystem. A portion is used to sustain the project treasury for ongoing development, while another part is shared with active participants as rewards for their contribution to the training and curation process. This creates a cycle where the community provides editorial oversight and the AI provides the creative output. Recently, the project has evolved its technical approach, expanding from text-to-image generation to more complex algorithmic coding. This allows the AI to create dynamic and interactive pieces, further pushing the boundaries of machine-led creativity. By blending decentralized coordination, blockchain technology, and machine learning, the project explores new concepts of authorship and collective ownership in the digital art world.
