One of the main components of Botto’s Second Period are Access Passes: a new, streamlined entryway for people who want to participate in the experience of curating art and training the AI. Owning an Access Pass lets you vote, curate, and collect free exclusive rewards.
Usually, anyone can purchase a Botto Access Pass for 0.03ETH in botto.com. But alongside regular Access Passes, the DAO also creates Community Access Passes. This is Botto’s way of inviting DAOs and communities that share values with the Decentralized Autonomous Artist, helping the invited community onboard their members to the Botto experience.
CyborgDAO is the first community to have custom community Access Passes. Cyborg is a collector DAO emerged from Botto community members with the purpose of stewarding in an era of AI art. CyborgDAO soon became one of Botto’s major artwork owners, and their leadership has shown great commitment and participation in Botto.
The connection between CyborgDAO and Botto is apparent:
We collect art from creatures we don’t fully understand. We support their birth and their inventions as we try to grasp the coming age. We are patrons of the unknown. https://www.cyborg.art/
Turing Keys for Access
Cyborg membership revolves around Turing Keys: unique NFTs that identify their owners as collectors in the project. Today, Turing Key holders are eligible to mint their very own CyborgDAO Access Pass for free.
“We’re excited to continue to support Botto as the first Decentralized Autonomous Artist of its kind. With the start of this new creative period, we see Botto evolving as AI technology improves, and as an artist, it is starting to open up to broader community input in its art and curation,” says @pepe, Botto member and collector, and one of CyborgDAO founders.
Access Passes are initially blank canvases. But four weeks after launch, the most voted fragment by CyborgDAO Access Pass holders will paint itself on the metal card, giving it a unique look and meaning for the rest of time. Stay tuned to see what the Cyborgs decide.
The Web 3 space is full of people willing to explore the boundaries of artistic expression and ownership. Access Passes are the tool Botto will use to search for them and welcome them to our exciting adventure.
