BIP-55: Improving Speed of Art Engine Upgrades

Summary

Please note that this Snapshot has a default 72-hour voting window. BIP-55 proposes enabling the Guardian to add new models and prompting techniques without requiring a new BIP, ensuring faster updates to Botto's art engine.

Rationale

New generative models and techniques can appear unpredictably. Current governance processes risk missing valuable updates. Allowing the Guardian to make these changes ensures Botto stays current and competitive. The proposal also reduces the initial voting pool share for new models from 25% to 15%.

Proposal Specifications

• Generative Models: Open-source, no restrictive licenses.
• Prompting Techniques: General techniques applicable to various models.
• Voting Pool Share: New models start with 15%, removed if under 5% at period end.
• Implementation Timing: Changes only at the start of a new period.
• Documentation: All changes documented and published.
• Live View Feature: Roadmap includes a feature for live model rankings.

Budget

• N/A

Risks and Mitigations

• Guardian's Adherence: Specifications align with existing practices; the DAO can propose further adaptations.
