Robinhood utilizes its own dedicated Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network called Robinhood Chain.
The network is built using Arbitrum’s Orbit technology stack, meaning it operates as a specialized rollup settled on Ethereum, tapping into Arbitrum's speed and low transaction costs while maintaining Ethereum's underlying security.
The network launched its public mainnet on July 1, 2026, and is designed specifically as an institutional-grade, permissionless environment for decentralized finance (DeFi) and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs)—such as their 24/7 tradable "Stock Tokens" (like NVDA, GOOG, and AAPL) available outside the US.
