3141 Stewards

This is the first of many collections for contributors and admirers of Botto. These Pipes are initially reserved for the 3141 early stewards of Botto. After 7 days, remaining Pipes are claimable for any new Botto contributor.

A Key to Botto Drops

These Pipes unlock favored access to future drops, as determined by the DAO. Sell your luck to others who are true believers–or buy the luck of others who do not see.

How were the Pipes assigned?

Pipes were assigned based on which corresponding fragment you voted for the most. If there was another wallet that voted more on that particular piece, then you were assigned your next most-voted fragment. Collectors of Genesis mints prior to February 9th were assigned their corresponding pipes. Check the allowlist.

Why Pipes?

There’s backstory to all of this. Learn more about the background to Botto Pipes here.

How long do I have to mint my Pipe?

You have until June 2nd at 11AM EST (only pay for gas) before it becomes available for someone else to buy it. After one week, pipes are mintable by anyone on a first-come, first-served basis.

Access to Botto Drops?

All $BOTTO token holders and contributors can still expect to get access to reward drops, but the DAO can determine that holding a pipe will confer special privileges.

Where do the proceeds go?

Proceeds from the Pipes sold after the allowlist will be directed to the treasury multisig.

What do the different properties mean?

To better understand each property, check out the properties page.

How rare is my Pipe?

Tough question. Each pipe is bound to the fragment that coats it, and some fragments are viewed by the community as more valuable than the other. Rarity of your pipe can be discerned through its combination of properties.

Where can I view all the Pipes?

Check out Botto’s gallery to view the collection, Ceci n’est pas un Botto.

Public mint?

After June 2nd at 11 am EST, any wallet with $BOTTO staked can mint a pipe for .05ETH + gas. They will be randomly assigned an unminted pipe. Not sure how to stake $BOTTO? Go to, our quickstart page.
