Robinhood Chain mainnet is live, built with the Arbitrum Platform
Robinhood Chain joins the ecosystem of 30+ dedicated blockchains built with the Arbitrum Platform.
For companies looking to deploy category-defining onchain products, Robinhood Chain provides the blueprint for a 'launch-and-migrate' model using the Arbitrum Platform: first, launch on Arbitrum One to validate usage patterns, then, migrate to a dedicated blockchain as your product demands deeper, granular control over onchain operations.
It started in 2025 when Robinhood launched Classic Stock Tokens for customers in Europe, bringing tokenized U.S. stocks and ETPs to market on Arbitrum One. Building on this, the launch of Robinhood Chain enabled a more customized infrastructure designed to satisfy precise performance, security, and regulatory requirements. This environment establishes a robust foundation for the integration and development of decentralized financial primitives.
Why Robinhood Chain built with the Arbitrum Platform
Robinhood Chain leveraged the Arbitrum Platform’s extensive customizability to tailor its infrastructure for financial services. Below is a look at the specific capabilities they utilized to power their requirements.
Low-latency execution
Configurable block times and preconfirmations to achieve 100ms latency, delivering consumer-grade responsiveness while maintaining settlement-grade finality.
Predictable transaction pricing
A Dynamic Pricing model for adaptable cost structures, helping ensure predictable unit economics for financial products.
High-throughput performance
Capacity to handle large transaction volumes while maintaining consistent response times, even during periods of significant market activity.
Together, these capabilities gave Robinhood Chain a dedicated blockchain that was customized to meet their specific business requirements.
