Lighter, the zero-knowledge rollup-powered decentralized exchange, has crossed $10.4 million in total value locked on Robinhood Chain barely a week after the Layer-2 network went live.
The broader Robinhood Chain ecosystem has surpassed $100 million in TVL within its first week of mainnet operations. Lighter is positioned as the default perpetual futures platform on the network.
How Robinhood built a DeFi on-ramp overnight
Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet on July 1-2, 2026, built as an Ethereum Layer-2 on top of Arbitrum.
Robinhood was a major backer in Lighter’s $68 million funding round in November 2025. Robinhood also committed approximately $11 million in LIT token incentives for users engaging with Lighter through Robinhood Wallet.
