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
Robinhood Chain is built on Arbitrum Dedicated Blockchains, 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, aiming to achieve faster finality and cost efficiency. Robinhood Chain uses ETH as its native gas token.
Predictable Transaction Ordering
Robinhood Chain utilizes a first-come, first-served sequencing model, where the order is determined strictly by the arrival time at the sequencer. The network ensures a transparent and predictable environment where no transaction can bypass others by paying higher fees.
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.
EVM Compatible
Robinhood Chain is fully EVM-compatible. Smart contracts written in Solidity or Vyper deploy without modification, and all standard developer tooling works out of the box — including Hardhat, Foundry, ethers.js, viem, and Wagmi. Any wallet or dapp that supports standard JSON-RPC can connect directly.
Account Abstraction
Robinhood Chain has first-class support for ERC-4337 account abstraction. Developers can submit and manage transactions, sponsor gas fees for users and create programmable wallets with built-in batching and session key support.
