Paper hands? We fold paper.
Apple made a folding phone. They called it Duo. We just like the word.
Every big thing starts flat.
A sheet of paper. A stock. A chain nobody used.
Then someone folds it.
FOLD.
The catalyst
The fold happened.
On 9 September Apple unveiled its first folding phone, the iPhone Duo, from $1,999, shipping 23 October. We launched two nights before, while the stock market was shut and this chain wasn't.
Until Duo ships
FOLD has nothing to do with Apple. Apple didn't make it and doesn't know it exists. We just like the word.
Context: on September 2, memecoins paired with stock tokens on this chain traded $217M in a day, more than the stock tokens themselves (Decrypt). Most of them are a dog or a cat. We brought paper.

|---|---|
| Pair | AAPL stock token, issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited.0xaf3d76f1834a1d425780943c99ea8a608f8a93f9 |
| Venue | PAIR, the stock-paired launchpad. One Uniswap v4 pool, FOLD against the AAPL stock token, created and seeded in the launch transaction. |
| Supply | 1,000,000,000, fixed by PAIR's launch contract. The whole supply is placed in the pool as single-sided liquidity at an oracle-derived opening price. No presale, no team wallet, no airdrop. |
| Liquidity | The pool's entire liquidity sits in one Uniswap v4 position, minted in the launch transaction and held by PairV4Locker at 0xf0a7e4dc0f2e8d1d57f29ee1e88db90e04cfa639. That contract has no withdraw, no unlock and no transfer entry point, so the position cannot leave it. Not a promise, an address. |
| Creator | One public wallet, published at launch. It will hold only what it buys in the open on the night, and has pledged not to sell before October 5, 2026. |
| Fees | PAIR's 1% swap fee on every trade, split 70% to the creator and 30% to PAIR. No transfer tax. Every creator claim gets posted with an explorer link before a cent of it is spent. |
| Anti-snipe | For the launch block and the next five: no single buy over 5.5% of supply, no wallet over 5%. Sells never restricted. Both caps lift by themselves. |
| Rights | None. No ownership, no dividends, no votes, no claim on anyone. It's a meme. |
| Source | PAIR's launch contracts, on the explorer. The creator has no admin function over the token or the pool. |

The week
Markets close. Cranes don't.
Wall Street shuts Friday night and doesn't open again until Tuesday. The chain never shuts. We put a paper crane in the gap, right before Apple says the word.
A thousand cranes
Somewhere in Paris, a thousand orange cranes go up before the token exists. Fold yours wherever you are and post it with #stayfolded.
Wall Street's off
Labor Day. The stock hasn't traded since Friday night and won't until Tuesday. The chain doesn't notice.
Launch
Live on PAIR. Contract posted here, on X and in Telegram the same minute the pool is created and locked.
Markets reopen
The AAPL token and the stock meet again fifteen and a half hours after launch. We watch, we don't touch.
The fold
Apple's event. They called it Duo, $1,999, shipping 23 October. We watched with a crane.
Pledge date
The creator's no-sell pledge runs to here. Watch the wallet; anything it does shows on the explorer before it shows in a post.
Live

The trade list is read from the pool's own event log on Robinhood Chain; dollar values use today's AAPL price. Market numbers come from GeckoTerminal's index of the pool and refresh every 30 seconds. Full chart on GeckoTerminal. Nothing here is advice, and a young pool trades thinly.
The ritual
One thousand cranes.
Senbazuru: fold a thousand paper cranes and you get a wish. Fold a real one, post the photo on X with #stayfolded, and it goes up on the wall.
0 / 1,000 cranes
No purchase needed. The wall's for people, not wallets. On Monday a thousand orange cranes hang somewhere in Paris.
Never folded one? Here's the crane in six moves.
- Start with a square. Any paper works; orange is traditional around here.
- Fold it in half both ways, then corner to corner both ways. Unfold. You want a star of creases.
- Collapse it into a small square (the "preliminary base"): push two opposite corners in so the four points meet at the bottom.
- Fold the two open edges to the centre line on each side, fold the top triangle down, unfold all three, then lift the bottom point up along that crease into a long diamond. Flip and repeat. That's the bird base.
- Fold the outer edges of each diamond to the centre again, then inside-reverse-fold the two thin points up: one is the neck, one is the tail.
- Reverse-fold the tip of the neck for a head, pull the wings down, blow gently into the hole underneath. Photograph it. Post it.

Every big thing starts flat.
A sheet of paper. A stock. A chain nobody used. Then someone folds it. Seventy-five seconds, with the manifesto.
Made for FOLD. No Apple, no Robinhood, no phones. A crane, a city and a thousand more cranes.

How to buy
Three folds.
Get on the chain
Add Robinhood Chain (id 4663) to any EVM wallet, or open this page in Robinhood Wallet's browser. Bridge a little ETH over: Relay and Across take minutes from Arbitrum, Base or Ethereum; the Arbitrum portal takes about ten minutes from Ethereum.
Buy it
FOLD trades in a Uniswap v4 pool against the AAPL stock token. Buy it on PAIR's page, or with the Uniswap button, which opens Robinhood Chain with FOLD already selected and ETH as the input; the router goes through the AAPL pool for you. Holding AAPL tokens already? Pick them as the input instead.
Verify, then fold
Check the contract matches this page and the pinned post. Set slippage sensibly. Don't put in more than you can lose. Then fold a crane.
The address lands here Monday 23:00 London. Until then, the only things to follow are these:X Telegram Buy on Uniswap Chart
Questions
Fair questions.
What is FOLD?
A meme token on Robinhood Chain with a paper crane for a mascot, paired with the AAPL stock token on PAIR. Fixed supply, liquidity locked in a contract forever, no creator keys. It comes out of Paris on the Monday night before Apple unveiled the iPhone Duo, over the Labor Day close, because the word "fold" was going to be everywhere that week and we wanted a crane in the picture.
Is it a tokenised stock? Is Apple involved?
No and no. FOLD doesn't track, hold or represent Apple shares, and Apple has nothing to do with it. It trades in a pool against Robinhood's AAPL stock token, which is a separate instrument from a separate issuer. We don't use Apple's or Robinhood's logos, and we'd rather you didn't either.
Why pair it with the AAPL stock token instead of ETH?
Because the pool is the joke. The stock market shuts Friday night and doesn't reopen until Tuesday; the chain doesn't shut at all. Pricing a paper crane in Apple's on-chain stock token, in the days Apple is about to spend saying "fold" on stage, was too good to skip.
When does it launch?
Monday 7 September, 23:00 London, which is midnight in Paris and 18:00 in New York. If PAIR or the chain misbehaves it slips to the next night at the same time, and this page will say so. There's no contract before then.
Where do I get the contract address?
At the top of this page, in the pinned post on X (@stayfoldedaapl) and in the pinned message on the Telegram channel (t.me/stayfolded, the channel, not the group chat), all in the same minute. Anything earlier or anywhere else is fake. We never DM first, and nobody "from the team" will ever ask for your seed phrase.
Can the creator pull the liquidity?
No. PAIR puts every liquidity position into PairV4Locker, a contract with no withdraw function, in the launch transaction itself. The creator never touches the position. The locker and the launch transaction are linked in the specs; check them on the explorer.
What about fees?
PAIR charges 1% on every trade in the pool. 70% of it goes to the creator, 30% to PAIR. That's the creator's only income from FOLD, and every claim gets posted with an explorer link before any of it is spent. There's no transfer tax and no hidden fee.
What does the creator hold?
No allocation, no presale, no team bag. The creator's only FOLD is bought in the open at launch, in one public wallet, with a promise not to sell any of it before 5 October 2026. The promise is a public commitment, not a contract lock, so watch the wallet. The link is in the specs.
What's the wall?
The senbazuru wall. Fold a real paper crane, post the photo on X with #stayfolded, and it goes up on this page. You don't need to own FOLD. A thousand cranes is a wish.
Is this an investment?
No. It's a meme token with no rights, no roadmap, no team promises and no intrinsic value. Most tokens like it go to zero, and this one can too. Read the disclosure before you do anything.
Who's behind it?
A pseudonymous builder in Paris and whoever shows up. No company, no foundation, no fund. The press kit has a Q&A.
What does "stay folded" mean?
It's the hashtag for the wall, and a pun we're not sorry about. Fold a crane, put it on your desk, stay folded.
