100 collectors is working with Botto, one of the most closely watched experiments in AI art and decentralized cultural decision-making, to bring 15 delegate seats in Botto's Delegation Program to our members.

The partnership reflects shared ground between the two communities: a belief that digital art's most interesting developments happen when collectors move from observing to participating. The Botto Delegation Program invites 100 collectors members to take an active role in shaping the artistic direction of an autonomous AI artist, moving beyond observation into direct participation in how digital art evolves.

What Is Botto?

Botto is an AI artist whose creative output is directed by a decentralized community. Each week, Botto generates hundreds of new artworks, and $BOTTO token holders vote on which pieces best represent its artistic direction. Those votes shape Botto's evolving practice over time, making it one of the earliest large-scale experiments in collective, AI-driven art production.

What Is the Botto Delegation Program?

$BOTTO token holders receive voting power each week, which they can delegate to trusted community members rather than voting themselves. A delegate does not receive ownership of those tokens. Instead, delegates are entrusted with using that voting power to vote on Botto's weekly artworks on the holder's behalf, and they earn $BOTTO rewards for doing so.

As one of the 15 delegates from 100 collectors, members will:

Why This Matters for Digital Art Collectors

Botto represents a new model of artistic production, one where a community, not a single artist or algorithm alone, collectively determines a creative practice's trajectory. For collectors interested in the future of digital art, AI, and decentralized culture, delegation is a way to participate directly in that process rather than watch it unfold from the outside.

This aligns closely with what 100 collectors exists to do: help collectors move past passive collecting and into genuine engagement with the artists, technologies, and communities defining digital art today. It's also why this partnership made sense for both sides: Botto gains a cohort of engaged, informed delegates, and our members gain direct access to one of the field's most significant ongoing experiments.

Why 15 Delegates

Botto set the size of this inaugural cohort deliberately at 15 seats. Delegation carries real responsibility, and delegates are expected to vote actively and consistently throughout the program. A focused, engaged group is what will make the experiment meaningful, both for Botto's token holders and for the broader community watching how decentralized art governance plays out in practice.

How to Get Involved

Full program details, including how the delegation process works and how to apply, are available exclusively to 100 collectors members.
