What is Robinhood Chain?
Robinhood Chain is a permissionless, Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 built by Robinhood Markets on Arbitrum technology. It is compatible with standard Ethereum development tools and draws on Ethereum's security. Robinhood positions it as the place where its onchain financial services will live: a network built for financial applications and for the native issuance of tokenized real-world assets such as equities, ETPs, and other instruments, with self-custody and round-the-clock trading as design goals.
Key design points:
- Built for tokenized assets: the network is shaped around native issuance of tokenized equities, ETFs, and other real-world assets, with self-custody and seamless bridging.
- Speed: block times of roughly 100ms, with the throughput needed for financial applications.
- ETH as the native gas token: no separate gas asset, which keeps the fee model aligned with the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
- Open access: anyone can transfer, build, or deploy on the network using established Ethereum and Arbitrum tooling, without intermediaries or platform lock-in.
Robinhood Chain entered public testnet on February 10, 2026. The testnet is a public environment for developers and partners to build, deploy, and test applications before the network goes live.
Robinhood Chain data on Dune
Dune provides a standardized, queryable view into Robinhood Chain's onchain data, so that institutions and analysts can examine, among others:
- Stock Tokens and tokenized assets: issuance, transfers, and holdings of onchain stock tokens and other real-world assets as they move across the network.
- Bridging with Ethereum: assets moving in and out of Robinhood Chain through deposits and withdrawals.
- Robinhood Wallet activity: onchain behavior from the self-custody wallet that connects to the network.
