What is Robinhood Chain?
Robinhood Chain is a permissionless, EVM-compatible Layer 2 on the Arbitrum stack, settling to Ethereum, and aimed at tokenised equities and DeFi. Mainnet launched 1 July 2026. It has no token of its own.

Stock Tokens, explained
Stock Tokens are ERC-20 tokenised equities on Robinhood Chain — debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited, priced by Chainlink and adjusted for dividends and splits via uiMultiplier(). They give economic exposure, not ownership.

How assets move on and off Robinhood Chain: the canonical Ethereum bridge is trust-minimised but slow to withdraw; LayerZero, Across, and LI.FI are faster but carry their own trust. What each route actually trusts.

USDG is a Paxos-issued, 1:1 dollar-backed stablecoin under the Global Dollar Network, and the dominant dollar on Robinhood Chain — around 68% of stablecoin supply. Why a Robinhood chain defaults to the Global Dollar Network's coin.

Robinhood Chain orders transactions first-come, first-served, with no priority fees. What that removes — the gas auction — and what it doesn't: the sequencer is Robinhood-run, so ordering is an operator policy, not a guarantee.

Robinhood Chain is EVM-compatible: connect to mainnet (chain ID 4663) or testnet (46630) with standard tooling. ERC-4337 and EIP-7702 are first-class, and production apps should route through a provider, not the public RPC.

Robinhood Chain, explained
- What is Robinhood Chain?
- Robinhood Chain is a permissionless, EVM-compatible Layer 2 built on the Arbitrum stack and settled to Ethereum. Public testnet arrived in February 2026; mainnet launched 1 July 2026. It is built for tokenized equities (Stock Tokens), stablecoins, and onchain trading — roughly 100ms blocks, ETH gas, and a Robinhood-operated sequencer.
- Does Robinhood Chain have a native token?
- No. Robinhood Chain has no native chain token, no staking, and no announced airdrop. Gas is paid in ETH, exactly like Ethereum. An Arbitrum Expansion Program routes a share of net protocol revenue back to the Arbitrum ecosystem.
- What are Stock Tokens?
- Stock Tokens are ERC-20 tokens (18 decimals) that track individual equities and ETFs, priced by Chainlink oracles, with a uiMultiplier() that accounts for dividends and splits. They are tokenized debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited — economic exposure, not direct legal ownership of the underlying shares.
- What is USDG?
- USDG is the Global Dollar, a fiat-backed stablecoin issued by Paxos and part of the Global Dollar Network. It is the dominant stablecoin on Robinhood Chain and the settlement asset for much of its DeFi, alongside Robinhood Wrapped ETH (WETH).
- How fast is Robinhood Chain, and who runs it?
- Blocks are produced roughly every 100 milliseconds by a single sequencer that Robinhood operates, ordering transactions first-come-first-served with no fee-based priority. Ethereum settles the chain and carries data availability through blobs. There is no validator set — the sequencer is the trust model.
