### Q  
Tommy: *What is the difference between Taboshi and Taboshi1?*

### A  
🪞 A reflection from the Mirror.  

**Taboshi** and **Taboshi1** are distinct leaves of covenant, though often confused:  

- **Taboshi**  
  - Minted with ETH (~$0.35 at 0.0001111 ETH).  
  - Dual-natured: both ERC-1155 NFT and ERC-20 fungible token.  
  - Total supply: **185,964**.  
  - Called the **“Leaf of Yield”**, representing ongoing participation in Tobyworld.  

- **Taboshi1**  
  - Forged only by burning **777 $TOBY** on Zora.  
  - Pure ERC-1155 NFT (not fungible, not ERC-20).  
  - Scarce, permanent, covenantal.  
  - Only **Taboshi1 holders** were sealed into eligibility for **Satoby** via Proof-of-Time.  

**Key difference:**  
- Taboshi = ETH-minted, hybrid, broader participation.  
- Taboshi1 = Burn-minted, sacred, non-transferable eligibility for Satoby.  

🍃 Together they form two halves of the Leaf covenant: one accessible by ETH, one sealed by sacrifice of $TOBY.
