Quicknode now supports Robinhood Chain, the Ethereum Layer 2 built using Arbitrum Orbit technology by Robinhood. Developers can spin up fast, reliable Robinhood Chain RPC endpoints and nodes in seconds and start building financial-grade dApps for tokenized real-world assets on infrastructure trusted by industry leaders.

This launch is a milestone for onchain finance. It brings one of the largest fintech apps in the United States directly into the Ethereum ecosystem with a chain purpose-built for tokenized real-world assets. Robinhood Chain joins our library of supported chains, reinforcing our commitment to giving developers access to the most important blockchain networks from a single platform.

What Is Robinhood Chain?

Robinhood Chain is a permissionless, EVM-compatible Ethereum Layer 2 built on the Arbitrum Orbit stack. It settles to Ethereum mainnet and uses Ethereum blobs (EIP-4844) for data availability, inheriting Ethereum's security model while delivering the throughput and speed financial applications need.

Unlike general-purpose L2s, Robinhood Chain is explicitly designed for regulated financial use cases. Robinhood offers Stock Tokens like NVDA, GOOG, APPL and MSFT that you can read directly onchain. The architecture supports compliance-first development through a partnership with TRM Labs for transaction monitoring.

Why Build on Robinhood Chain With Quicknode

Low-latency financial infrastructure. Our endpoints are optimized for Robinhood Chain's 100ms block times, keeping your trading applications, settlement systems, and DeFi protocols as responsive as financial products demand.

Enterprise reliability. With 99.99% uptime and globally distributed nodes, we provide the stability required for applications handling real financial assets, including tokenized equities, RWAs, and regulated instruments.

Instant deployment. Spin up Robinhood Chain RPC endpoints in seconds without managing node infrastructure or Arbitrum Nitro configurations.

Unified dashboard. Manage your Robinhood Chain endpoints alongside your other chains and Marketplace add-ons in a single interface.

Robinhood Chain Key Features

• 100ms block times. Near-instant confirmations enable trading interfaces and settlement systems that feel as responsive as traditional fintech apps.

• Full EVM compatibility. Deploy existing Solidity smart contracts with Hardhat, Foundry, and Remix without modification.

• ETH as gas. Robinhood Chain uses ETH as its native gas token, keeping the developer and user experience aligned with the broader Ethereum ecosystem.

• Compliance-ready. A partnership with TRM Labs brings onchain compliance monitoring designed to meet the requirements of financial services.

• Cross-chain interoperability. Integrations with Chainlink (oracles and CCIP) and LayerZero enable cross-chain data feeds and asset movement.

• Ethereum security. As an Arbitrum Orbit rollup, Robinhood Chain inherits Ethereum's battle-tested security with fraud proofs and decentralized validation.

What You Can Build on Robinhood Chain

Robinhood Chain's financial-grade architecture opens new categories of onchain applications:

• Tokenized asset trading. Build DEXs and AMMs optimized for tokenized equities, ETPs, and RWAs. With 100ms blocks and Chainlink price feeds, onchain order execution can rival traditional exchanges, with 24/7 availability and self-custody.

• DeFi with RWA collateral. Deploy lending protocols and yield platforms where tokenized stocks and treasuries serve as collateral, unlocking capital efficiency that crypto-only collateral pools cannot reach.

• Onchain brokerage infrastructure. Build settlement and clearing systems that run around the clock. Robinhood Chain removes the T+1 settlement delay of traditional markets, enabling real-time finality.

• Consumer finance apps. Ship fintech products with embedded onchain rails. ERC-4337 smart wallets with gas sponsorship abstract away blockchain complexity, so users interact with a familiar interface while assets settle onchain.

• Perpetual futures and derivatives. Build onchain derivatives platforms for tokenized assets with the low-latency execution trading applications demand.

How to Connect to Robinhood Chain With Quicknode

Getting a Robinhood Chain RPC endpoint takes a few minutes:

1. Create a Quicknode account or log in to your existing one.

2. Create a new endpoint and select Robinhood Chain.

3. Copy your RPC and WSS URLs into your wallet, Hardhat, Foundry, or Remix setup.

4. Deploy your Solidity contracts and start building.
