Robinhood Chain is a permissionless, AI-native Layer 2 blockchain built for financial services and real-world assets.
Robinhood Chain uses Arbitrum Layer 2 infrastructure to deliver high throughput and 100 ms block times.
Transactions receive sub-second soft confirmations and reach full Ethereum finality about 13 minutes after their batch is posted to Ethereum.
Robinhood Chain is built for onchain financial services and tokenized real-world assets, including equities, ETFs, private assets, and other financial instruments.
The network supports programmatic, self-custodied, 24/7 markets, with applications for trading, lending, borrowing, yield, and collateral.
| Consensus | Arbitrum Nitro rollup with a Robinhood-operated sequencer. BoLD handles dispute resolution through a permissioned validator set, while transactions ultimately inherit Ethereum finality. |
| Public / Private / Permissioned | Public and permissionless for users and developers. Validator participation is permissioned. |
| Smart contracts | Yes |
| Smart contract language(s) supported | Solidity and Vyper, fully EVM-compatible |
| Transaction privacy | No native transaction privacy. Robinhood states that users should not expect privacy or confidentiality for onchain activity. |
| Transaction visibility | Public. Transactions and smart contracts are readable through the public RPC and Blockscout explorer. |
| Transaction ordering | First-come, first-served based on arrival time at the sequencer. Paying a higher priority fee does not move a transaction ahead of transactions already queued. |
