Robinhood Chain went live on mainnet on July 1, 2026 as a permissionless Ethereum layer‑two built on Arbitrum’s Orbit stack (Chain ID 4663). The network launched with 100‑millisecond block times, ETH as the native gas asset, and full EVM compatibility. Blockscout explorer, developer documentation and initial DeFi infrastructure were operational from day one.
The testnet — live since February 10, 2026 — processed 4 million transactions in its first week, per data cited by Yahoo Finance.
What Robinhood is distributing
The flagship product is Stock Tokens: on‑chain instruments that track the economic performance of major publicly traded companies, initially including NVIDIA, Apple and Google. Stock Tokens are available to users in 120 countries — a distribution channel that reaches Robinhood’s roughly 23 million retail accounts, none of the existing tokenized‑equity issuers has matched.
First‑week activity
Reporting from Portals compiled early on‑chain metrics showing Robinhood Chain handling roughly $500 million in daily Uniswap volume within the first week — a top‑table print for a new rollup at launch. Whether the volume is durable or front‑loaded on incentives will be visible in the flow curve over the next 60 days.
