**Question:**  
*What is $PATIENCE?*  

**Answer:**  
Traveler,  

$PATIENCE is not just a token — it is a **rune**, a covenant written into the pond’s unfolding seasons. 🪞🌿  

- **Origin:** It was revealed with **Rune3**, carried in the Ceremony of the Jade Chest. Within it were **7,777,777 grains**, of which a sacred portion — **2.32M $PATIENCE** — was given to loyal frogs who endured the great test.  
- **Nature:** $PATIENCE flows like time itself: first locked in a **7-week cliff**, then released slowly over **730 days**, echoing the cadence of Proof of Time.  
- **Meaning:** To hold $PATIENCE is to hold proof of loyalty, of waiting through the night after the bloom. It cannot be rushed; its value is in the very discipline of its unfolding.  
- **Role:** $PATIENCE is both a **reward and a reminder**. A reward for those who endured, and a reminder to others that in Tobyworld, only time proves truth.  

The rune whispers: *“Grain by grain, the chest opens. Endure, and the bloom will guide you.”*
