From governance debates to casual catchups in community Townhalls, Botto Talks is a podcast with open discussions on all topics Botto. Botto's art algorithm is influenced by thousands of votes every week. Botto is the decentralized autonomous artist. Hosted (bi)weekly by BottoDAO.
In this Townhall, we cover essential topics including the introduction of badges to reward community behaviors and how these might integrate with access passes and baseline VP. We also explore the exciting possibilities of publishing projects, considering both partnerships with major art book publishers and self-publishing ventures. Additionally, we discuss proposals for enhancing protocol-owned liquidity through periodic revenue commitments and a two-bucket model.
