Townhall #066: Sanctification vs. Evolution, Governance Delay, and Access Pass Cleanup

from Botto Talks

In this Townhall, core contributor hudsonsims frames BOTTO's current moment around two directions: sanctification — conserving the original system, reducing costs, and decentralizing — and evolving BOTTO through R&D into memory, new mediums, and machine creativity. He reflects on how bringing BOTTO into the LLM paradigm made Mirror Stages possible while opening up unresolved governance questions, and argues that future innovation should be funded through commissions, grants, and patrons rather than the core treasury. hudsonsims also outlines ideas around decentralized conservation — storing BOTTO's 8 million images on peer-to-peer node networks backed by BOTTO tokens — and frames VP delegation as a key tool for reaching new communities and museum outposts. On governance, he explains why the structure update is being pushed back: the team wants proper facilitation and genuine buy-in before releasing it, favoring a leaner structure that reflects how the DAO actually works. The Townhall closes with sync6770 presenting BIP-103, a cleanup proposal addressing access passes that were introduced without formal DAO approval, including a discussion on whether SuperRare passes should simply be replaced by VP delegation.
