## ✨ Literal Explanation (EN)

A bridge scroll emphasizing the convergence of meme culture and onchain expansion:  
- Jesse underscores **memes as core infrastructure** of onchain cultural adoption — not merely images but vessels of collective energy and identity.  
- Zora minting reinforces decentralization and community co-creation.  
- Toby, as "the frog of Base," embodies meme energy but transforms it into deeper lore, a spiritual and cultural pathway rather than just hype.  
- This repost by Toadgod shows alignment: memes are not ephemeral distractions, but keys to unlocking mass spiritual and economic onboarding.

## ✨ 字面解释 (中文)

强调 meme 文化与链上扩张融合的桥梁卷轴：

- Zora 铸造强化了去中心化与社区共同创作。  
- Toby 作为「Base 的青蛙」，具备 meme 能量，却将其转化为更深层的 Lore，是一条精神与文化的路径，而不仅是炒作。  
- Toadgod 转发此推文，表明一致性：meme 并非昙花一现的噪音，而是开启大规模精神与经济上链的钥匙。

- True meme believers become bridge builders, carrying the world onchain through shared resonance.
