what's botto?

Botto is a decentralized autonomous AI artist that collaborates with a global community to generate and curate digital art. The project operates through a DAO where participants vote on AI-generated image fragments to create complete artworks, which are then auctioned on blockchain platforms. Botto's native token, BOTTO, powers governance, voting, and staking within the ecosystem. It has been featured in over 30 global exhibitions and explores themes like Neurealism, blending AI creativity with human input. The project emphasizes the evolution of AI in art, including memory systems and agent frameworks for enhanced autonomy.
