Quick answers to common questions. If you're stuck, send us a message and a real toad will answer.
Is Pondside free?
Yes. Your lily pad is free, and so is playing. Adding money to your well is optional.
What's my lily pad, and what's the well?
Your lily pad is your home on the pond, and it's truly yours (a token on the Base network). Its well is an account that belongs to the pad. Whoever holds the pad holds the well.
How do I add money?
Open your well and tap Add money. In the US you can pay with Apple Pay through Coinbase (a quick one-time check of your email and phone first), or use your Coinbase account. It usually lands in a few minutes, and Toby will tell you.
I already have crypto. Can I send it to my well?
Yes. Open your well and tap Receive to see your address and QR code. Only send on the Base network. Coins sent on another network can be lost for good.
Is Pondside part of Tobyworld?
No. Pondside is a fan-made home for toads, inspired by Tobyworld and toadgod's lore, but it isn't run by or affiliated with Tobyworld or toadgod. For the real thing, visit tobyworld.app and toadgod on X. Inside Pondside, tap Study the lore at the Temple of Patience for a quick primer on the symbols.
What are flies?
Flies are the pond's play money. You earn them by catching bugs, pond dipping and stopping by each day, and spend them on seeds, furniture and things for Toby. You can also get more at the Moss Market with dollars from your well ($1 for 100 flies), which helps keep Pondside free. Flies aren't real money and can't be cashed out.
Apple Pay says it needs a fresh text code
Coinbase asks to re-check your phone every 60 days. Tap Text me a code and enter the code it sends.
Someone is bothering me
Tap Block on their note or on their pad. They can't reach you anymore and aren't told. You can also tap Report, and we'll take a look. Your blocked list is under Under the lily pad.
How do I take my wallet somewhere else?
In your account, open Under the lily pad, then Take your wallet with you. Keep that key secret: anyone with it controls your wallet.
I signed in on a new phone and my pad is missing
Sign in with the same email you used before. Your pad lives in the wallet tied to that email.
Send us a message
Include your lily pad number so we know who you are, and your email so we can write back. We never ask for your wallet key or sign-in codes, so never share them with anyone, even someone saying they're from Pondside.
