Quicknode Now Supports Robinhood Chain

Robinhood's Ethereum L2 for tokenized real-world assets is live in the Quicknode dashboard.

Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 built on Arbitrum Orbit by Robinhood Markets. It is designed for tokenized equities, ETFs, and real-world assets, with compliance tooling built into the chain itself. Quicknode now supports Robinhood Chain, and you can deploy an endpoint today.

What is Robinhood Chain?

Robinhood Chain is a financial-grade Ethereum L2 running on the Arbitrum Nitro stack. It settles to Ethereum mainnet, uses ETH as the gas token, and produces blocks roughly every 100ms. It is fully EVM-compatible, so your existing Solidity contracts can be deployed without changes using Hardhat, Foundry, or Remix.

The chain is built by Robinhood, the largest retail brokerage in the United States. Robinhood has already tokenized hundreds of US equities and ETFs for European customers, and those assets are set to migrate to Robinhood Chain when mainnet launches later this year. The testnet went live in February 2026 and saw strong early developer activity.

Unlike most L2s that launch into an empty ecosystem, Robinhood Chain comes with an existing user base, financial products, and a regulatory framework. That combination is what makes it interesting.

Technical Details

• Arbitrum Orbit + Nitro stack with Ethereum settlement and EIP-4844 data availability
• ~100ms block times
• ETH gas token
• Full EVM compatibility
• ERC-4337 account abstraction: smart wallets, bundler APIs, gas sponsorship
• Chainlink oracles and CCIP for cross-chain data
• LayerZero for cross-chain interoperability

What You Can Build

Tokenized real equities as native onchain assets open up categories of applications that haven't been practical until now:

• Lending and borrowing where tokenized stocks like AAPL, TSLA, or SPY serve as collateral
• Perpetual futures and options on traditional equities, available around the clock
• Onchain brokerages with real-time settlement instead of T+1 delays
• Consumer fintech products with onchain rails abstracted behind familiar interfaces via ERC-4337
• Cross-chain financial products connecting Robinhood Chain liquidity to the broader Ethereum ecosystem
