Robinhood Chain: what the network is and how to start

Q: Do you need a Robinhood account to use Robinhood Chain?

No. Any EVM-compatible wallet connects to the network, and Robinhood Wallet supports it with no manual setup. Robinhood’s help page states that the chain operates independently of the main app and does not affect a brokerage or crypto account there.

Q: Does Robinhood Chain have its own token? Is HOOD it?

As of 18 September 2026 Robinhood has announced no network token, no airdrop and no points programme: gas is paid in ETH. HOOD is the ticker of Robinhood Markets stock on NASDAQ, not a token of the chain.

Q: How do you add Robinhood Chain to a wallet?

Manually: network name Robinhood Chain, chain ID 4663, RPC https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com, currency symbol ETH, explorer https://robinhoodchain.blockscout.com. The public RPC is rate-limited, and for applications the documentation recommends a provider such as Alchemy.

Q: What pays for gas on Robinhood Chain?

ETH. A transaction fee has two components: L2 execution and posting the transaction data to Ethereum. The chain has no gas token of its own.

Q: Which exchanges withdraw ETH or USDG to Robinhood Chain?

As of 04.11.2026 21:07 UTC, among the exchanges whose fees Yieldo collects, withdrawals to Robinhood Chain are open on OKX, BingX, Bitget, KuCoin, Kraken, Gate.io. Fees and minimums are in the table of the “How to start” section.

Q: Why does a withdrawal to Ethereum take 7 days?

The seven days are the challenge period, a requirement of Arbitrum’s fraud-proof system. A canonical withdrawal takes three steps: initiating it on Robinhood Chain, waiting out the challenge period, and a separate transaction on Ethereum that costs L1 gas. Those seven days are separate from the finality of a transaction inside the network.

Q: Is a 100 ms block the same as finality?

No. The 100 ms figure is the block time from the official network page; a measurement over block timestamps through the public RPC on 18 September 2026 gave about 100.6 ms. The sequencer’s soft confirmation is sub-second, posting the batch to Ethereum takes minutes, and full finality arrives about 13 minutes after posting.

Q: Who confirms blocks on Robinhood Chain?

The sequencer sets the order of transactions, and disputes over network state are resolved by the BoLD protocol through a permissioned set of validators: on the check date there are two, operated by Offchain Labs and Alchemy. Protocol changes are signed by a Security Council of eight — routine actions need six of the eight signers and a seven-day timelock, emergency actions need seven of eight and bypass the timelock.

Q: Can the sequencer refuse a transaction?

Yes. The documentation states that a transaction associated with a sanctioned address will be excluded from inclusion. Reading data, including eth_call, eth_getLogs and balance queries, remains accessible. Inclusion order is first come, first served: a higher fee does not move a transaction ahead of others already in the queue.

Q: Who can buy Stock Tokens?

Stock Tokens are issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited. Eligibility depends on jurisdiction: the product is not available in the US or to US persons, and restrictions also apply in Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the UAE and sanctioned jurisdictions. The issuer publishes the full restricted-jurisdictions list.

Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 built on Arbitrum Dedicated Blockchains. It runs Arbitrum Nitro, posts transaction data to Ethereum as blobs and takes gas in ETH. The public mainnet opened on 1 July 2026, the public testnet on 10 February 2026.

What if a canonical bridge deposit has not reached Robinhood Chain?

An Ethereum deposit can succeed while its Robinhood Chain execution needs another attempt. The canonical bridge uses a retryable ticket: when the destination step fails, it can be redeemed manually through the bridge within seven days.

Find the existing deposit

Open the canonical bridge’s transfer history and locate the Ethereum transaction.

Complete the destination step

Use the bridge’s manual redemption for the failed destination operation. That operation runs on Robinhood Chain and needs gas there.

ETH and USDG withdrawals from an exchange to the network

There are two ways to fund a wallet on Robinhood Chain: withdraw ETH or USDG from an exchange that lists the network, or bridge from Ethereum. Exchanges label the network "Robinhood" or "Robinhood Chain"; the address is the same as on Ethereum.

From Ethereum over a bridge

The canonical route is the Arbitrum bridge portal with Robinhood Chain as the destination: deposits from Ethereum take about ten minutes, withdrawals back to Ethereum wait out a challenge period of about seven days and need a final claim transaction. The docs also list third-party routes.

What if a meme trades against Nvidia?

Artificial Inu has a pool paired with tokenized Nvidia. AI trades against NVDA in that pool; AI also has other pairs. Fee mechanics depend on the specific pool.

$AIArtificial Inu

NVDAStock Token

A regular meme token trades against ETH. A stock-paired meme has its Uniswap v4 pool against a Robinhood stock token — NVDA, MU, TSM, COST or DJT. Every meme purchase buys the stock first, and the stock accumulates in the pool.

The first such pairs appeared on 14 July 2026 on Long: SPACEHOOD against SpaceX and AI against Nvidia. A meme paired with a stock can now also be launched on Pons V2.

Who gets the fees

Long: stock piles up in a vault

The pool hook takes the fee. For $AI the buy fee is paid in NVDA, and 80% of it goes to the project vault. The sell fee is paid in AI: half is burned, half goes to the vault. Holders receive no stock: the vault grows and the token supply shrinks.

Pons V2: pick the pair

A token first sells on a bonding curve, then moves to a locked Uniswap v4 pool. The pair can be ETH, a stablecoin or a tokenized stock — that is how $GLIZZY launched against COST and $BIGLY against DJT. The creator gets a tax, and part of the fees goes to a buyback vault.

Indices: stock for holders

The Indices treasury from The Index takes the creator fees of any token and spends them on stock for holders, buybacks or liquidity. $INDEX itself, according to KuCoin, takes 3% of trades and distributes a basket of 18 stock tokens to holders every 15 minutes.

Lore

Where Robinhood came from

Robinhood Chain is not the company’s first product for retail investors. It took 16 years to get from high-frequency trading software to a chain of its own.

2010–2012

Trading software first

Vlad Tenev and Baiju Bhatt met at Stanford. In 2010 they started Celeris, a high-frequency trading software company, and in 2011 Chronos Research, which sold low-latency software to banks and trading firms.

Source ↗
2013

CashCat → Robinhood

The company was founded in 2013. The founders first called the project CashCat. The name Robinhood came from Celina, Tenev’s girlfriend at the time and now his wife.

Source 1 ↗ Source 2 ↗
2014–2015

$0 trades

The app went into beta in December 2014 and launched publicly in March 2015. Customers paid no commission on stock trades. Most of Robinhood’s revenue is transaction-based, including payment for order flow: market makers pay the broker for its customers’ order flow.

Sign-up bonus

A random free stock

New users got one random share from Robinhood’s pool. Some of them got GameStop, and in February 2021 those users were showing gains of 9 000%.

2020–2021

Stimulus checks and millions of new accounts

Americans received three rounds of checks: up to $1 200 in March 2020, $600 in December and up to $1 400 in March 2021. Robinhood’s funded accounts reached 18 million by 31 March 2021 and 22.5 million by 30 June.

Do I pay the Ethereum data fee separately for a Robinhood Chain transaction?

The execution fee and Ethereum data fee are included in the same transaction fee, paid in ETH on Robinhood Chain. A wallet’s standard fee estimate accounts for both. An Ethereum transaction used to start or finish a bridge transfer is a separate action with its own Ethereum fee.

How transactions are confirmed

The order of transactions is set by the , and confirmation goes through three stages: the sequencer’s soft confirmation, posting of the batch to Ethereum, and Ethereum finality. Disputes over network state are resolved by the BoLD protocol, and protocol changes are signed by a Security Council of eight.

Parameter	Value
Transaction ordering	The sequencer orders transactions strictly by arrival time — first come, first served. Raising the priority fee does not move a transaction ahead of others already in the queue. Source →
Sequencer-level screening	A transaction associated with a sanctioned address is excluded from inclusion — the documentation’s wording is “will be excluded from inclusion”. Reading data — eth_call, eth_getLogs, balance queries — stays fully accessible. Source →
Confirmation stages	The sequencer’s soft confirmation is sub-second; posting the batch to Ethereum takes minutes; full finality comes about 13 minutes after posting. The seven days are the challenge period of a canonical withdrawal to Ethereum and are separate from transaction finality. Source →
Validators and disputes	Disputes over state are resolved by the BoLD protocol through a permissioned set of ; on the check date the chain has two validators, operated by Offchain Labs and Alchemy. Source →
Validator requirements	Operating a validator requires being included in the allowlist and a 1 WETH bond; the documentation highly encourages defensive validators. Source →
Security Council	Eight seats: BitGo, Chainlink Labs, Fireblocks Trust Company, Offchain Labs, Paxos and Talos hold one each, Robinhood holds two. Routine actions require approval from six of the eight signers and are subject to a seven-day on-chain timelock; emergency actions bypass the timelock but require approval from seven of eight.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about Robinhood Chain

1Do you need a Robinhood account to use Robinhood Chain?

No. Any EVM-compatible wallet connects to the network, and Robinhood Wallet supports it with no manual setup. Robinhood’s help page states that the chain operates independently of the main app and does not affect a brokerage or crypto account there.

2Does Robinhood Chain have its own token? Is HOOD it?

As of 18 September 2026 Robinhood has announced no network token, no airdrop and no points programme: gas is paid in ETH. HOOD is the ticker of Robinhood Markets stock on NASDAQ, not a token of the chain.

3How do you add Robinhood Chain to a wallet?

Manually: network name Robinhood Chain, chain ID 4663, RPC https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com, currency symbol ETH, explorer https://robinhoodchain.blockscout.com. The public RPC is rate-limited, and for applications the documentation recommends a provider such as Alchemy.

4What pays for gas on Robinhood Chain?

ETH. A transaction fee has two components: L2 execution and posting the transaction data to Ethereum. The chain has no gas token of its own.

5Which exchanges withdraw ETH or USDG to Robinhood Chain?

As of 04.11.2026 21:07 UTC, among the exchanges whose fees Yieldo collects, withdrawals to Robinhood Chain are open on OKX, BingX, Bitget, KuCoin, Kraken, Gate.io. Fees and minimums are in the table of the “How to start” section.

6Why does a withdrawal to Ethereum take 7 days?

The seven days are the challenge period, a requirement of Arbitrum’s fraud-proof system. A canonical withdrawal takes three steps: initiating it on Robinhood Chain, waiting out the challenge period, and a separate transaction on Ethereum that costs L1 gas. Those seven days are separate from the finality of a transaction inside the network.

7Is a 100 ms block the same as finality?

No. The 100 ms figure is the block time from the official network page; a measurement over block timestamps through the public RPC on 18 September 2026 gave about 100.6 ms. The sequencer’s soft confirmation is sub-second, posting the batch to Ethereum takes minutes, and full finality arrives about 13 minutes after posting.

8Who confirms blocks on Robinhood Chain?

The sequencer sets the order of transactions, and disputes over network state are resolved by the BoLD protocol through a permissioned set of validators: on the check date there are two, operated by Offchain Labs and Alchemy. Protocol changes are signed by a Security Council of eight — routine actions need six of the eight signers and a seven-day timelock, emergency actions need seven of eight and bypass the timelock.

9Can the sequencer refuse a transaction?

Yes. The documentation states that a transaction associated with a sanctioned address will be excluded from inclusion. Reading data, including eth_call, eth_getLogs and balance queries, remains accessible. Inclusion order is first come, first served: a higher fee does not move a transaction ahead of others already in the queue.

10Who can buy Stock Tokens?

Stock Tokens are issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited. Eligibility depends on jurisdiction: the product is not available in the US or to US persons, and restrictions also apply in Canada, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the UAE and sanctioned jurisdictions. The issuer publishes the full restricted-jurisdictions list.
