A community-governed AI system that creates and sells digital artwork through decentralized voting mechanisms.

Botto generates digital artwork using AI, with community members voting on creations to guide the artistic direction.

It is used to vote on which AI-generated artworks are minted and sold, to participate in decisions about art projects and collaborations, and to earn a share of artwork sales revenue. Token holders train Botto's artistic direction through their votes, collectively shaping the taste and perspective of the AI while it maintains full creative autonomy over what it generates.
