Robinhood just went from selling crypto to building the infrastructure it runs on. The company launched Robinhood Chain’s public mainnet on July 1, and within a week, projects started migrating away from Solana to join it.
What Robinhood actually built
Robinhood Chain is a permissionless Ethereum Layer 2 built on Arbitrum’s infrastructure. The chain is designed specifically for on-chain financial services and tokenized real-world assets. Block times clock in at 100ms, and the platform already supports tokens representing shares of major companies including NVIDIA, Google, and Apple.
Early partners include Uniswap, the largest decentralized exchange by volume, and Pleiades.
