Subscribe to our newsletter

The Public Mainnet of Robinhood Chain has officially launched, creating a new institutional-grade Layer 2 blockchain built on the Arbitrum platform. The new chain connects directly to Robinhood’s base of onchain users and features tools for lending and borrowing. Focused on real-world assets, it offers application developers fast transaction speeds and was built with technology partners Alchemy, BitGo, and Chainlink.

The chain’s ecosystem supports a number of day-one partners to provide initial liquidity. Uniswap, a leading decentralised crypto exchange, is deploying a dedicated Automated Market Maker (AMM) to serve as the chain’s main public trading pool. Additionally, the Pleiades AMM will offer a private trading venue, helping to integrate advanced decentralised financial tools into everyday professional workflows.

Robinhood announced its mainnet alongside a slew of other offerings, including tokenised stock trading available in 120+ countries (but currently not the US, Canada or the UK) and agentic AI-driven crypto trading.
