Botto is a generative artist governed by the community. It creates a series of 50 art 'fragments' a week and presents them to the community, who votes on those fragments to influence Botto's generative algorithm. The view on aesthetics of the community will be reflected in the next series of Botto's art.

The whole governing and voting process is supported with native BOTTO token, which now can be claimed by those people, who have interacted with at least 1 qualifying project: Artblocks Curated, Artblocks Playground + Factory, Async Art, BAYC, Cryptopunks, Meebits, SuperRare, Foundation.

2021-10-07 00:30:00 ​​NFT sales surge to USD 10.7 bln in Q3

The Q3 sales volumes were up to USD 10.7B from USD 1.3B in Q2 and USD 1.2B in Q1 (DappRadar).

Estimates for the size of the NFT market might vary depending on what is included. Transactions that take place ‘off-chain’, such as NFT art sales at auction houses, are often not captured by the data.

DappRadar’s numbers, which include multiple blockchains and ‘off-chain’ transactions, put the total 2021 sales volume at USD 13.2 billion. Another market tracker, CryptoSlam, which excludes ‘off-chain’ sales, says the figure is USD 9.6 billion.

However the number of NFT buyers remains relatively small: just 265,927 active wallets were trading NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain in Q3 (NonFungible com).
