# Robinhood Chain Bridge

*The canonical Arbitrum-native bridge between Ethereum and Robinhood Chain, with a 7-day withdrawal challenge.*

The Robinhood Chain Bridge is the least glamorous and most important thing connected to the chain: it holds the largest single pool of value on it, roughly $143m in early July 2026. Because Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum-stack rollup, its canonical bridge is the Arbitrum native bridge — trustless in the sense that matters, inheriting security from Ethereum rather than from a set of third-party signers. That is the right default. The tradeoff is asymmetric timing: deposits land in minutes, but withdrawals sit through Arbitrum's standard 7-day fraud-proof challenge before funds can be claimed on L1. Users who want out faster reach for third-party routes — Across, LayerZero via Stargate, Relay, LI.FI/Jumper, Chainlink CCIP — which trade the canonical bridge's trust model for speed and liquidity-provider risk. The distinction is worth internalizing: the canonical bridge is the safe, slow rail with Ethereum-grade security; everything else is a convenience layer with a different risk profile. Robinhood covering gas for the first 90 days, bridge transactions included, lowered the cost of moving in during the launch window and helps explain how quickly the bridge filled. That the bridge is the chain's biggest single deposit venue is not a knock — it is what a young rollup looks like before native issuance and yield pull assets away from the front door.

## Key facts

- **What it is:** The canonical route between Ethereum and Robinhood Chain, inherited from the Arbitrum stack. Trustless — security comes from Ethereum, not third-party validators. _(confidence 90%)_
- **Deposit time:** Deposits from Ethereum to Robinhood Chain confirm within minutes via the Arbitrum portal. _(confidence 85%)_
- **Withdrawal time:** Withdrawing to Ethereum is a three-step process gated by Arbitrum's standard 7-day challenge period, after which funds are claimed with an L1 transaction (and L1 gas). _(confidence 88%)_
- **TVL:** Roughly $143m in early July 2026 (DefiLlama) — the largest single pool of assets connected to the chain. _(confidence 80%)_
- **Third-party routes:** Faster, non-canonical options include Across, LayerZero/Stargate (for OFT assets like USDG and WBTC), Relay, LI.FI/Jumper, and Chainlink CCIP. _(confidence 85%)_

## Metrics

- **Bridge TVL:** $225.9M
