AI creates, DAO decides

Meet Botto: an AI artist (yes, we’re in the future) governed entirely by a DAO. Every week, the machine generates hundreds of artworks. The community votes on which piece becomes the final release — and that one gets minted and sold as a 1/1 original

Naturally, NFTs are involved. The chosen piece is minted as an NFT — a digital “proof of ownership” of the original. Collectors buy the works, and under DAO rules, a share of the revenue is distributed to active voters and the community treasury. All transactions and votes are on-chain, making the process fully transparent

A recent case: the “p5.botto” generative series in London. This wasn’t just AI prompt art — it was algorithmic creation. Botto generated the pieces, the community curated 20+ top picks, and they were minted and released on Verse, a digital art platform. The drop sparked demand and coverage across art media, turning an online vote into an offline exhibit and sale

The point: no single curator, just collective taste. No likes, but real decisions that shape releases and economics. The machine creates, the community directs — and it’s already working in the art world. A DAO has as many use cases as its members have ideas
