A DOCUMENTED BEGINNING
Where it all began.
In 2013, the company behind Robinhood’s first public iOS app operated under a different name: Spacetime Industries.
A forgotten company. A documented beginning. Reimagined onchain by the community.
Independent community project. Not affiliated with Robinhood.
01 · THE ORIGIN
Before the name the world remembers.
“Spacetime was not the public name of the app. It was the company behind Robinhood’s first public launch, an early corporate identity documented at the beginning of the story.”
“This is not a rewrite of history. It is the chapter most people never saw.”

THE NAME RETURNS
Not as a company. Not as an official product. As a community-created tribute to the origin story.
Some names become brands. Others become coordinates.
SpaceTime never became the name everyone remembers. That is what gives it gravity. The community found the coordinate, returned to it, and put it back on the map.
03 · THE COMMUNITY LAYER
The story has a contract.
$SPACETIME is a community token inspired by this forgotten origin, a cultural artifact for the people who found the story early.
