Orchard is a crypto ecosystem built around gamified mining of tokenized stock — starting with $AAPL. Three doors lead into it: a Mining Protocol that turns ETH into real Apple shares every 75 seconds, a multichain Trading Bot whose fees mine on your behalf, and $SEED, the ecosystem's own token.
75s
One harvest, forever
25
Plots per round
Up to 20x
On a single plot
Three doors, one ecosystem
Mining Protocol — the core mechanism: plant ETH on plots, one plot wins each harvest, paid in AAPL. Multiplatform — mine from the dApp or the Telegram bot, same rounds, same wallet.
Trading Bot — trade any token on five chains; your fees mine on your behalf. On Telegram today — a dApp version is coming next.
$SEED — the ecosystem's own token: fixed supply, bought back and burned by the protocol's own revenue, staked for AAPL yield.

Not affiliated. Orchard is an independent, decentralized protocol. AAPL here refers to the tokenized equity issued by Robinhood on Robinhood Chain. Orchard is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Apple Inc. or Robinhood.

Vision & values
Crypto's energy is real. Its assets should be too.
Vision
We believe the next era of crypto isn't about printing new tokens — it's about connecting on-chain activity to things that exist outside the chain. Orchard is the ecosystem we're building around that belief: it exists to turn everyday crypto activity — a trade, a harvest, a stake — into ownership of real assets, starting with tokenized Apple stock and growing from there. From seed to stock.
Values
1
Real over synthetic
Rewards are paid in real tokenized equity — never in freshly printed tokens. $SEED has no mint function; supply only goes down. If a reward can't be backed by something real, we don't ship it.
2
Numbers over noise
Every figure we publish is readable on-chain, and we state the unflattering ones too. Confidence comes from precision, not hype.
3
The loop over the individual
Nobody uses Orchard alone. The protocol is designed so one person's activity becomes another person's yield — traders fund miners, miners fund stakers, claimers fund holders.
4
Product over promises
We ship first and talk second. The roadmap describes direction, not marketing — and anything live is verifiable at orchard.gold before we say a word about it.
Start here
The ecosystem
One engine, three ways in. However you enter, someone else's activity is already paying you — and yours is already paying them.
The three doors
1
Trade — the Trading Bot
Trade any token on five chains. The 1% fee doesn't disappear into an operator's pocket: once your accumulated fees clear 0.0005 ETH per plot, they auto-plant into a mining round on your behalf. You trade; the orchard plants for you.
2
Hold — buy & stake $SEED
Never plant a thing. Stakers earn 10% of every harvest's rake, paid in AAPL, while 40% of the rake buys $SEED off the market and burns it — shrinking the supply you hold a share of.
3
Mine — plant directly
Plant ETH on plots in the dApp or the Mining Telegram Bot. One plot wins every 75 seconds. Winners split the losing plots' AAPL; every plant also carries a shot at the Golden Apple.
How value circulates
Every plant pays a 10% rake → 50% grows the Golden Apple jackpot, 40% buys back and burns $SEED, 10% pays stakers in AAPL.
Every claim pays 10% juice → redistributed to everyone still holding unclaimed AAPL. The house takes none of it.
Every trade in the bot pays 1% → auto-planted back into the mining protocol.
Cover any one product and the others keep feeding it. That interdependence — not any single feature — is the moat.
Products
The $SEED token
The orchard's own coin: a fixed 1M supply minted once — no mint function, ever — trading on a single SEED/ETH pair.
1,000,000
Total ever minted
40%
Of rake → buyback & burn
3%
Pair tax ceiling (only goes down)
What $SEED does
The mining protocol never holds it — planting is ETH-only. $SEED has exactly two jobs:
Staking. Stake $SEED, earn the orchard's revenue: 10% of every harvest's rake, paid in AAPL. No lock, no emissions — unstake anytime. The stakers' share accrues on-chain from genesis and a permissionless flush sweeps it into the pool, so nothing is lost by staking later.
Buyback & burn. 40% of every rake buys $SEED on the open market and sends all of it to the burn address. Circulating supply only goes down, round after round.
The pair tax
The SEED token charges 3% on every buy and sell on its trading pair. Quotes already include it. 3% is the hard ceiling: it can only ever go down.
Live supply, burn total and staking pool are on the Explore page of the dApp — every number read directly from the contracts. To buy, stake or sell $SEED step by step, see tutorials 05–08 in the sidebar.
Products
Mining — plant ETH, harvest AAPL
The heart of the ecosystem, and it's multiplatform: the same rounds, the same wallet, the same Golden Apple — whether you mine from the dApp or the Telegram bot. Every 75 seconds, one of 25 plots becomes the winning plot, and everything accumulated in the losing plots is distributed to the winners, in tokenized AAPL.
One harvest, step by step
1
60 seconds to plant
Plant on any or all plots with ETH (minimum 0.0005 ETH per plot per harvest). The entry swaps to AAPL inside your own transaction, protected by your minimum-out quote. The purchase, minus the 1% admin fee, is your stake on that plot.
2
15 seconds to results
Stakes freeze. The harvest seals a future block; when it lands, its hash picks the winning plot. Nobody — including us — can know or bias the outcome at commit time.
3
Harvest
Miners on the winning plot split the other 24 plots' AAPL pro-rata to their stakes, minus the rake. Their own stake comes back whole. Odds are equal per plot — never weighted by size.
4
When nobody wins
If the winning plot is empty, the whole crop feeds the Golden Apple. The house takes none of it.
The Golden Apple
The orchard's jackpot
Fed by three streams: half of every rake, the whole crop of every empty harvest, and the juice of each window's last claim.
Every reveal with winners rolls a 1-in-1,000 chance. On a hit, the Golden Apple falls: the whole pot joins that harvest's crop, split like any other. There is no cap.
Claims and juice
Claiming mined AAPL costs 10% juice — paid to everyone who hasn't claimed yet, never the house. Holding longer earns more: juice drips to every unclaimed harvest. Claims process 40 harvests at a time, oldest first — claim again to take the rest.
Fairness
Only an expired reveal voids a harvest — and then every planting is refunded in full. The winning plot comes from a future block's hash, unknowable at commit time no matter who sends the transaction. The randomness module is isolated, so a VRF can replace it the day one exists on this chain.
Two ways to mine
On the dApp — the full experience at orchard.gold: connect a wallet, plant, watch the round live, claim.
On Telegram — @OrchardDotGoldBot gives you a wallet, bridge, swap, stake and claim right in the chat, reading the exact same protocol. Planting itself happens inside the official Telegram group, where the bot posts the live 25-plot grid, the countdown and the Golden Apple — mining on Orchard is social by design there.
Where to plant on Telegram: join the official group first (tutorial 01) — the plot grid, leaderboards and plant commands live there. The bot's private chat handles your wallet, bridge, swaps, stake and claims. The full walkthrough is the numbered tutorial series in the sidebar (01–10).

Trading BotBETA
The first trading bot with RWA rewards. Trade any token on five chains — your fees buy you $AAPL.
What it does
Five chains: Robinhood, Base, Ethereum, BSC and Solana — with a built-in bridge across all of them.
Fast swaps with best-route execution across every venue, MEV protection and honeypot detection.
Trader tooling: quick buy, take-profit / stop-loss, positions with live P&L, and Flex cards to share your wins.
Where the fee goes
The bot charges 1% per trade — the same as the bots you already use. The difference is what happens next: your accumulated fees don't stay with an operator. Once they clear 0.0005 ETH per plot, they auto-plant into a mining round on your behalf — fully passively. You can see exactly which plots came from your trades, and everything they mine is yours to claim.
Find it at @OrchardTradingBot on Telegram. Beta: bugfixes and features ship daily. Step-by-step guides are under Trading Bot guide in the sidebar.
Everything starts in the official Orchard channel and group on Telegram. The group is where the mining grid lives — you'll need to be in it to plant.
1
Find the official channel
In Telegram, search for OrchardDotGold and open the Orchard channel. The pinned message explains the project and carries the official links to the dApp and the bot.
2
Join and verify
Tap Join, then tap Tap to Verify on the pinned announcement. Verification is handled by the Safeguard bot: press Start, send /start, tap VERIFY, launch the mini app and complete the check.
3
Enter the group
Once verified you receive a one-time link. Tap it, then Join Group — you're in the official Orchard group, where the live plot grid and plant commands are.
Security: Safeguard never asks for your phone number or any personal information. Anyone who DMs you asking for keys, codes or payments is a scammer — the team never messages first.
Useful group filters once you're in: /ca/bot/dapp/how/chart/defi/juice/stake
Your Orchard wallet lives in the bot and holds your ETH, $SEED and $AAPL. Open @OrchardDotGoldBot (or t.me/OrchardDotGoldBot) to set it up in under a minute.
1
Start the bot
Send /start to @OrchardDotGoldBot. Tap Create wallet — or Import key if you already have one.
2
Back up your private key
Your address appears instantly; the private key comes hidden behind a spoiler. Reveal it and back it up somewhere safe — an offline password manager is ideal.
3
Open your panel
Tap Private Key Saved — Open Orchard. You'll see your balances on Robinhood Chain and the full menu: Plant, Bridge, Claim, Swap, Stake, Wallet, Groups, Settings.
4
Fund it
The same address receives ETH on both Ethereum Mainnet and Robinhood Chain — send ETH to it on either network, then use Bridge (tutorial 03) to move it where you need it.
Never share your private key. Not with support, not in DMs, not typed into websites, not as a screenshot. Anyone with the key controls the funds — permanently.
Planting happens on Robinhood Chain, so your ETH needs to be there. The bot has a built-in bridge — both directions, right in the chat.
1
Open Bridge
In the bot panel, tap Bridge. You'll see your balance on both networks and the button Send ETH to Robinhood Chain.
2
Choose the amount
Type a value (e.g. 0.05) or send All to move everything. Minimum bridge: 0.005 ETH.
3
Confirm
Review the summary — amount sent, amount received after the small bridge fee (a fraction of a percent), and the guaranteed minimum. Tap Bridge it.
4
Done in about a minute
You'll see "On its way to Robinhood Chain" with a transaction link, and the bot notifies you when it lands. Your updated balance appears in the panel, ready to plant.
Need to go back? Same flow in reverse: Send ETH to Mainnet, amount, confirm.
Planting puts ETH on one or more of the 25 plots. You don't type an amount — each plot's value is fixed for that cycle; you only choose where, and how many.
1
Find the grid
In the official group, the bot posts the live grid: the Golden Apple pot, the last harvest's result, the countdown, and all 25 plots with everyone's plants marked.
2
Plant with a button…
Plant puts you on one plot (picked at random for you — and you can multiply your position on that plot up to 20×). Plant All covers all 25 plots at once — you're guaranteed to be on the winning plot, sharing its crop.
3
…or with a command
Type directly in the group — see the table below.
4
Watch the cycle close
When the countdown ends ("Last call"), the harvest resolves, the result posts as "Last Harvest", the grid resets, and a new round opens.
Command
What it does
/p 17
Plants on plot 17
/p 5x
Plants on 5 randomly chosen plots
/p all
Plants on all 25 plots
/p 17 5r
Plants on plot 17 and repeats automatically for the next 5 rounds
Planting works inside a group where the bot is installed — that's by design: you see everyone's plants, the leaderboards (daily / weekly / monthly), and the pot grow in real time.
Staked $SEED earns the orchard's revenue — 10% of every harvest's rake, paid in $AAPL. No lock, no emissions.
1
Open Stake
In the bot panel, tap Stake. You'll see your Unstaked balance available, your current stake, and the estimated Staking APR.
2
Choose the amount
Tap Stake SEED and pick the amount — shortcuts 25% / 50% / Max, or type a value.
3
Confirm
Review Confirm Stake and tap Stake. Your staked balance updates, along with the APR estimate and projected yearly rewards in $AAPL.
About the APR you'll see (e.g. ~40% at the time these guides were written): it's an estimate, and an example only — it moves constantly with how many players are mining, claiming and staking. Never treat any displayed APR as fixed or guaranteed.
Open Swap and tap Flip — source becomes SEED, destination ETH.
2
Choose the amount
Shortcuts 25% / 50% / Max, or type a value.
3
Review and swap
The Confirm Swap screen shows the SEED you send, the estimated ETH you receive, and the slippage (3%). Tap Swap — the ETH lands in your wallet with a transaction link.
Harvests you win accumulate as unclaimed AAPL — and while they sit unclaimed, they keep earning juice from everyone else's claims.
1
Open Claim
In the bot panel, tap Claim. You'll see your total unclaimed AAPL, broken down into Winnings (mined) and Juice (earned passively from others' claims), plus the estimated Juice APR.
2
Choose how much
Shortcuts 25% / 50% / 75% / Max. The claim button shows the exact amount and the fee before you commit.
3
Confirm
The claim executes — "Claimed — X AAPL" with a transaction link — and the AAPL lands directly in your wallet.
Claiming pays the 10% juice fee — distributed to everyone still holding unclaimed AAPL, never to the house. That's the trade-off to weigh: claim now and pay juice, or hold unclaimed and earn it.
About the Juice APR you'll see (an early screenshot showed ~880%): it's an example, not a promise — it swings widely with how many players are mining and claiming AAPL at any moment. Small pools make percentages look extreme in both directions.
Claimed AAPL is yours — hold it as tokenized Apple stock, or swap it back to ETH anytime.
1
Open Swap
Set the source to AAPL and the destination to ETH.
2
Choose the amount
Shortcuts 25% / 50% / Max, or type a value.
3
Approve if asked
Some sales need a one-time Approve transaction first — the bot runs it and tells you: "Approved — now swap your AAPL."
4
Review and swap
Check the Confirm Swap — AAPL sent, estimated ETH received, slippage — and tap Swap. The ETH lands in your Robinhood Chain wallet.
Mining dApp guide · 01
Connect your wallet
The dApp works with any wallet — MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect and more. Prefer a clean start? You can create a brand-new one right from the connect screen.
1
Open Connect wallet
On orchard.gold, tap Connect wallet and pick yours from the list.
2
…or start fresh
Rather not connect an existing wallet? Create a brand-new one right there — it's generated in your browser, the private key is yours alone, and it never touches Orchard's servers. Back up the recovery phrase the moment it appears; that's the only copy there will ever be.
3
Fund it
Send ETH to your wallet address. It needs to be ETH on Robinhood Chain specifically — the network the mining grid runs on. Coming from Mainnet? Bridge it in first (see the Mining Bot guide's Bridge tutorial, or use Robinhood Chain's own bridge).
4
You're in
Once your wallet is connected and funded, the plot grid and every action on the page unlock.
Never share your recovery phrase or private key — not with support, not in a form, not as a screenshot. Orchard support will never ask for it, and no one who DMs you first is legitimate.
Mining dApp guide · 02
Plant on the grid
Same 25 plots, same 75-second cycles as the bot — just a visual grid instead of chat commands.
1
Select your plots
Click plots directly on the grid, or use the quick-select buttons — All, Evens, Odds, or None to clear your selection.
2
Plant
Tap Plant to lock in your picks for the current round. Each plot's stake is fixed for that cycle — same as the bot.
3
Watch the round
The countdown, the Golden Apple pot and the Last Harvest result are all live on the page, same as in the Telegram group.
Timing is identical across both interfaces — same 75-second rounds, same odds, same everything. Mine from the dApp, the bot, or switch between them freely; it's the same wallet and the same rounds either way.
Mining dApp guide · 03
Rewards & claim
The Rewards page shows everything you've mined, and lets you claim on your own terms.
1
Check what you've earned
Rewards shows your total unclaimed AAPL, broken down into Winnings and Juice, plus every token in your Balances.
2
Claim a portion
Claim 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of your unclaimed AAPL. Claims are limited to once every 40 harvests — plan around that cadence rather than trying to claim every round.
3
Generate your Flex card
Turn your results into a shareable card, right from the Rewards page.
About the Juice APR you'll see: it's an estimate, not a promise — it swings with how many players are mining and claiming AAPL at any moment. Never treat any displayed APR as fixed or guaranteed.
Mining dApp guide · 04
Stake & unstake
Staked $SEED earns a share of the orchard's revenue, paid in $AAPL — no lock-up.
1
Stake
Choose 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of your SEED balance. Your wallet will ask for two signatures: first an Approve (letting the contract move your SEED), then the Stake itself.
2
Unstake
Same flow, reversed — pick a percentage and confirm. No cooldown, no penalty.
3
Track your position
The Stake page shows your summary and earnings in real time. You can claim your staked AAPL rewards at any moment — you don't need to unstake first.
4
Generate your Flex card
Share a card with your profit and APR, straight from the page.
About the Staking APR you'll see: it's an estimate, and tends to be volatile — it moves with how much SEED is staked and how much revenue the protocol is generating. Never treat any displayed APR as fixed or guaranteed.
Mining dApp guide · 05
Trade
Trade directly between Orchard's three assets — no external DEX required.
1
Pick your pair
Trade lets you swap between $ETH (Robinhood Chain), $SEED and $AAPL, in either direction.
2
Enter an amount
Review the quote — same slippage logic as the bot's Swap.
3
Confirm
Sign the transaction. Your balances update immediately.
Remember: the SEED pair carries a 3% tax on buys and sells, already included in your quote. See The $SEED token for how the token works.
Trading Bot guide · 01
Start & wallets
One /start sets you up to trade on five chains.
1
Open the bot
Find @OrchardTradingBot on Telegram and tap Start.
2
Your wallets are ready
The panel shows your balances across Robinhood, Base, Ethereum, BSC and Solana, your total in USD, and your two addresses — one EVM (works on the four EVM chains) and one Solana.
3
Fund and explore
Send funds to either address, then explore the menu: Wallets, Positions, Orders, Rewards, Trending, Bridge, Withdraw, Settings.
Same rule as always: back up and never share your private keys. The team never DMs first and never asks for keys.
Trading Bot guide · 02
Buy & sell tokens
Paste a contract address — or pick from Trending — and the token card does the rest.
1
Open a token
Paste any contract address into the chat, or browse Trending (most opened and most traded in the last 24h). The card shows market cap, price, liquidity, venue, 24h volume, age, holders, burn, taxes and estimated gas.
2
Buy
Use the preset buttons (e.g. 0.001 / 0.005 / 0.01) or a custom amount. Every trade routes through the best venue, with MEV protection and honeypot detection built in.
3
Sell & automate
Sell in 25 / 50 / 75 / 100% steps, or set TP/SL to automate the exit. Initials takes out your entry once you're in profit.
4
Tune Settings
Default slippage 3%, price-impact guard 15%, and per-chain Quick Buy — paste-to-buy with no confirmation. Quick Buy is fast by design: no second look at the price, so enable it deliberately.
Trading Bot guide · 03
Bridge & withdraw
Move funds between all five chains, or out to any wallet, without leaving the bot.
1
Bridge
Tap Bridge, pick Where from? and Where to? among the five chains, then the portion of your balance to move. Confirm and track the transaction from the chat.
2
Withdraw
Tap Withdraw to send funds from a bot wallet to any external address on the matching network. Double-check the address — chain transfers are irreversible.
Trading Bot guide · 04
Positions & Flex
Every open position, its live P&L — and a share card for the ones worth bragging about.
1
Track positions
Positions lists what you hold per chain with live profit — in percent and USD. Open any position for the full card: worth, amount, average entry, and the same market data as the token card.
2
Act from the card
Buy more, sell in steps, set TP/SL, take Initials, or Send tokens — all from the position card.
3
Flex it
Tap Flex to generate a share card of the position — your P&L over the entry line, ready to post. Wins travel; every flex is the orchard introducing itself.
Trading Bot guide · 05
Rewards & affiliate
This is where the Trading Bot stops being like every other bot: your fees come back as $AAPL — and so do your referrals'.
1
Your fees plant for you
Every trade pays the 1% fee. Once your accumulated fees clear 0.0005 ETH per plot, they auto-plant into a mining round on your behalf. Rewards shows your unclaimed and claimed AAPL as it grows — fully passive.
2
Refer and earn — in Apple stock
Share your referral link or create a custom code. You earn 50% of your referrals' fees for your first month, then 15% forever — paid in AAPL. No other trading bot pays referrals in a stock.
3
Claim
Claim your accumulated AAPL from the Rewards screen whenever you like.
Protocol
