The short answer

Robinhood’s own Ethereum layer 2, built for tokenized stocks rather than for meme coins. Robinhood Chain went live on mainnet on 1 July 2026. It is an Arbitrum chain settling to Ethereum, with ETH for gas, and its reason to exist is tokenized equities: Robinhood issues stock and ETF tokens on it so they can trade around the clock rather than only during market hours. That makes it the clearest example so far of a traditional broker running its own chain.

What Robinhood Chain is for

Robinhood Chain went live on mainnet on 1 July 2026. It is an Arbitrum chain settling to Ethereum, with ETH for gas, and its reason to exist is tokenized equities: Robinhood issues stock and ETF tokens on it so they can trade around the clock rather than only during market hours. That makes it the clearest example so far of a traditional broker running its own chain.

Because Robinhood Chain settles to Ethereum, your funds ultimately depend on Ethereum security plus the correctness of the rollup itself. That is a genuinely strong position, and it is not identical to holding on the base chain.

Block explorers

An explorer lets you verify any transaction, address or contract on this network yourself. Learning to read one is the fastest way to stop taking anyone's word for anything.

Wallets that support it

What to be aware of

  • Most layer 2s currently run a single sequencer operated by one company, which can in principle reorder or delay transactions.
  • Upgrade keys are often held by a small multisig, meaning the rules can change.
  • Withdrawing through an official optimistic rollup bridge takes about seven days by design.
  • Crypto assets are volatile. Drawdowns of seventy percent or more have happened on every network in this list, including the largest.
  • Sending to an address on the wrong network can lose funds permanently. Always send a small test amount first.
