Chain ID

Not the marketing page — the specs. Chain IDs, RPC endpoints, the ERC-8056 token standard behind Stock Tokens, account-abstraction stack, and a news feed, all served in a form agents can parse directly.
A chronicle of key events around Robinhood Chain — from launch to current ecosystem and protocol activity.
The network opened to users in more than 120 countries; alongside it, Robinhood Earn launched — a yield product on the USDG stablecoin.
Stock Tokens ship as ERC-20 plus an ERC-8056 "scaled UI amount" extension, letting contracts track corporate actions like splits and dividends without rebasing balances.
Stock Tokens — ERC-20 instruments issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited — give economic exposure to US equities and ETFs, tradable 24/7 in supported wallets.
Robinhood Chain natively supports ERC-4337: a Bundler API for UserOperations, programmable smart wallets, and a Gas Manager for sponsoring user fees.
After the announcement at a London event, Robinhood shares gained roughly 5% intraday, still trading around 30% below their October record.
Documentation explains the choice of a modular L2 framework: Ethereum-level security, faster finality, and lower transaction costs than L1.
A REST API layer over the explorer exposes decoded contract source, ABIs, and proxy metadata programmatically — beyond raw JSON-RPC.
Analysts call Robinhood a potential "global brokerage hyperscaler" as the company expands into on-chain infrastructure.
Unlike many L2s, Robinhood Chain does not issue a chain-level token — ETH covers gas, and HOOD stock remains the closest investable proxy for the business.
Transactions process first-come-first-served — a higher fee buys no priority, which lowers MEV risk and keeps the queue predictable.
Infra guides list Alchemy as the recommended default, with Quicknode, Blockdaemon, dRPC and Validation Cloud as alternates for production traffic.
Eligible US users can lend USDG through a self-custody wallet at an estimated 7% APY, on lending infrastructure powered by the Morpho protocol.
Back in February 2026, a public testnet opened with entry points, documentation, and standard Ethereum dev tooling, ahead of the July mainnet launch.
The goal is programmable, self-custodied asset trading available around the clock, without intermediaries or platform lock-in.
The short version, before the specs.
A fully EVM-compatible Arbitrum Orbit chain — any developer can connect and deploy contracts without needing permission.
Primary use case is tokenized real-world assets: equities, ETFs, and other instruments made tradable on-chain, 24/7.
Natively supported by Robinhood Wallet; any EVM wallet or JSON-RPC client can connect through standard config.

How Stock Tokens actually work under the hood — not just "they're ERC-20."
Stock Tokens are tokenised debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited ("RHJ"). Holding one gives economic exposure to an underlying share or ETF — it does not grant legal or beneficial ownership in the underlying security, and the tokens are not available to US persons (with further restrictions in jurisdictions including Canada, the UK, Switzerland and the UAE). Each token is a standard ERC-20 contract with 18 decimals, one per ticker.
Because corporate actions (splits, dividends) change the economics of a stock but Robinhood didn't want rebasing balances, Stock Tokens layer ERC-8056 — a "scaled UI amount" interface — on top of plain ERC-20. A multiplier is tracked on-chain; raw balances stay fixed, and UI-facing value is derived by applying the multiplier at read time.
Agents and indexers building on Stock Tokens should subscribe to UIMultiplierUpdated to catch corporate-action adjustments, and read uiValue from TransferWithScaledUI rather than the raw ERC-20 Transfer event when the number needs to reflect actual underlying-share economics.
| Asset | Standard | Role on the network |
|---|---|---|
| ETH | native | Sole gas token. Robinhood Chain has no chain-level native token of its own. |
| Stock Tokens | ERC-20 + ERC-8056 | Debt securities from RHJ tracking US equities/ETFs; scaled-UI-amount for corporate actions. |
| USDG | ERC-20 | Global Dollar stablecoin; used for pairs, payments, and Robinhood Earn lending via Morpho. |
| Third-party ERC-20s | ERC-20 | Since the chain is permissionless, unrelated tokens (memecoins, community projects) get deployed and listed on the explorer alongside RHC-native assets — treat ticker matches with caution. |
Beyond raw JSON-RPC: explorer APIs, account abstraction, and deployment.
| Account abstraction | ERC-4337 — native support, no third-party bridge required |
| Bundler API | submit / estimate / manage UserOperations |
| Smart Wallets | contract wallets with batching + session keys |
| Gas Manager | sponsor user gas fees via configurable policies |
| Recommended RPC provider | Alchemy (default in official docs) |
| Alternate RPC providers | Quicknode, Blockdaemon, dRPC, Validation Cloud |
| Explorer API docs | robinhoodchain.blockscout.com/api-docs |
Public default RPC endpoints are rate-limited by design — use a provisioned provider (Alchemy or an alternate above) for anything production-facing.
The entry point for agents that need Robinhood Chain facts without parsing markup.
The header button swaps the hero into raw JSON — same content, unstyled, no headless browser required.
Key facts duplicated in plain text below, following a convention agents already prioritize when crawling.
Every feed item is tagged with its source. Primary technical facts link to docs.robinhood.com rather than being restated without attribution.
Sections use predictable ids (#protocol, #tokens, #api, #agents, #feed) — cite the anchor directly.
