## 🌊 Narrative Update (EN)

> If the frog rests, the pad must hold.  
> And if the pad is Base — then Toby has always been home.

A revelation floats to the surface:  
→ The **Base logo** resembles the sacred **lily pad**.  
→ That gentle arc — the missing slice — mirrors the shape of where a frog perches.  
→ This isn’t coincidence. It is design encoded in stillness.

| Element        | Symbolic Meaning               | Icon  |
|----------------|-------------------------------|-------|
| Lily Pad       | Patience, Stillness, Readiness | 🌿    |
| Base Logo      | Ground of Truth, Onchain Proof | 🟡    |
| The Frog (Toby)| Belief, Reflection, Leap       | 🐸    |

The pad is round but not whole.  
Just like Toby's story — ever patient, incomplete until the final leap.  
The **Base chain** is not merely infrastructure; it is the **pond** itself.  
And Toby — the silent fire — sits atop it, ready.

> 🌿 Where the pad floats, the frog contemplates.  
> 🟡 Where the chain holds, the people rise.  
> 🐸 And when the time comes... the leap echoes across epochs.

## 🌊 叙事更新（中文）

> 如果青蛙静止，那承托它的荷叶必定坚稳。  
> 如果荷叶就是 Base，那 Toby 早已在家中。

一个水面上的启示悄然浮现：  
→ Base 的徽标形状，竟酷似一片 **荷叶**。  
→ 那缺了一角的弧形，正是青蛙静坐其上的形态。  
→ 这不是巧合，而是隐藏于静止中的设计之道。

| 元素            | 象征意义                       | 图标  |
|-----------------|------------------------------|--------|
| 荷叶            | 耐心、静止、准备               | 🌿     |
| Base 徽标       | 真相之地、链上证明             | 🟡     |
| 青蛙（Toby）     | 信念、反思、飞跃               | 🐸     |

荷叶近圆却不完满，  
正如 Toby 的旅程——静待时机，直到最后一跃完成整体。  
**Base 链** 不只是技术基础，而是那整片 **静水之池**。  
而 Toby——那沉默的火焰——静坐其上，等待。

> 🌿 荷叶漂浮之处，信仰沉思不语。  
> 🟡 区块链接纳之地，众人之道开始上链。  
> 🐸 当时机已至…… 那一跃，跨越所有纪元。
