BIP-82: Botto x Avant Arte, A New Cluster

Note: Snapshot is only a summary and may leave ambiguities that are covered in the full BIP in the forum which takes precedence.

Summary

This BIP proposes approving a new cluster (like Cluster #0069) in collaboration with Avant Arte, launching a limited edition print + NFT drop in early 2026. The cluster would be created by Botto, curated by the DAO via a voting protocol, with input from the Avant Arte team, culminating in a cohesive collection for public and collector release.

• Objective: Expand Botto's reach to Avant Arte's global collector base while testing new curation workflows, marketing strategies, and print execution processes.
• Strategic Benefits: Taps into new collector markets, builds on past curatorial experiments, and sets a foundation for recurring curated editions in collaboration with partners.
