About Robinhood Chain

Robinhood Chain is a permissionless, Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 blockchain built to support a new era of onchain financial infrastructure — one that brings traditional markets, crypto, and real-world assets together on a fast, efficient, and open network.

Robinhood Chain is part of Robinhood's broader mission to democratize access to global financial markets and to empower users and developers with modern blockchain tools. It is designed to enable the seamless transfer, access, and management of digital assets anywhere in the world, without intermediaries or platform lock-in.

Built for Real-World Assets

At its core, Robinhood Chain is optimized for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) — including equities, ETFs, private assets, and other financial instruments — allowing them to be represented and traded onchain. This infrastructure supports Robinhood's vision of a financial ecosystem where assets can be programmatically traded, self-custodied by users, and accessible 24/7.

Built on Proven Technology

The chain leverages Arbitrum Chain technology, a modular Layer-2 framework that combines Ethereum's security with high throughput and low transaction costs. By operating as a Layer-2 solution, Robinhood Chain offloads transaction processing from Ethereum mainnet, achieving faster finality and better cost efficiency.

Open and Permissionless

Robinhood Chain is designed to be permissionless and developer-friendly. Anyone can interact with the network, build applications, and deploy smart contracts. This openness invites a diverse ecosystem of builders and users, expanding beyond a closed application into a fully accessible blockchain environment.

Testnet Available

Robinhood Chain's testnet is currently open & available for developers. Connect to Robinhood Chain through the details here.
