Robinhood Chain mainnet is live on Alchemy

Alchemy has launched native support for Robinhood Chain, a permissionless, EVM-compatible Layer-2 built to bring traditional markets, crypto, and real-world assets onto one network. Developers can now build on it with our full platform, instead of stitching together separate providers for node access, data, and gasless transactions.

Why Robinhood Chain stands out

Built for real-world assets

Robinhood Chain is optimized for real-world assets through its Stock Tokens composed of underlying equities, ETPs, private assets, and other financial instruments represented and traded onchain. The goal is a financial system where assets settle programmatically, stay self-custodied by users, and remain accessible around the clock, without intermediaries or platform lock-in.

Ethereum security with Layer-2 efficiencies

Built using Arbitrum Orbit technology, Robinhood Chain offloads transaction processing from Ethereum mainnet while inheriting Ethereum's security. The result is faster finality and lower transaction costs. For financial applications that need to settle a high volume of transactions cheaply, that cost and throughput profile matters.

Open and permissionless

Anyone can interact with the network, deploy smart contracts, and build applications on Robinhood Chain. That openness invites a broad ecosystem of builders rather than a single closed application.

What developers can build

The chain is purpose-built for onchain finance, and that is where the early energy sits. Developers have a foundation for markets that stay open 24/7 and settle without traditional intermediaries for tokenized equities, ETPs, and private assets.

The same primitives extend to payments, trading, and asset-management apps, anywhere users want to hold, move, or self-custody real-world value directly. Because the chain is fully EVM-compatible and uses ETH for gas, teams can bring existing Ethereum contracts and tooling over with little friction.

Where Alchemy fits with Robinhood Chain

Many teams building on a new chain wire together multiple providers: one for node access, one for indexed data, and one for transactions. Alchemy is specifically designed to provide builders with a full platform with industry-leading reliability and performance:

• RPC and WebSockets, so apps can read from and write to Robinhood Chain in real time over both HTTP and streaming connections.
• Webhooks to push onchain events to your backend as they happen, instead of polling for them.
• Gasless transactions, so you can sponsor gas for your users and let them transact without holding gas tokens.
• Data APIs for prices, NFTs, tokens, and transfers, giving you enriched, query-ready data without running your own indexer.

That last piece matters most for a chain built around tokenized real-world assets. An app showing a user's equity and ETP positions needs accurate prices, token balances, and a clean transfer history, and it needs them without standing up indexing infrastructure for a brand-new network. Pulling RPC, webhooks, gasless transactions, and data from one provider means one set of keys, one support relationship, and far less to maintain.

It runs on infrastructure proven at scale, powering more than $1 trillion in transactions each year at 99.5% uptime, and SOC 2 Type II certified.

Robinhood Chain is now available on Alchemy. Start building today with our Robinhood Chain documentation, or reach out to talk through what you want to ship.

Frequently asked questions

Does Alchemy support Robinhood Chain?

Yes. Robinhood Chain support is now live on Alchemy, with RPC and WebSocket access plus developer tooling that natively supports the network.

What infrastructure does Alchemy provide for Robinhood Chain developers?

The full platform from one provider: RPC and WebSockets for real-time reads and writes, webhooks for onchain event notifications, gasless transactions so you can sponsor user gas, and data APIs for prices, NFTs, tokens, and transfers. It is backed by infrastructure that processes more than $1 trillion in onchain activity each year at 99.5% uptime and is SOC 2 Type II certified.

What is Robinhood Chain?

Robinhood Chain is a permissionless, EVM-compatible Layer-2 built on Arbitrum Orbit technology. It settles to Ethereum, uses Ethereum blobs for data availability, and uses ETH as its native gas token, with a focus on tokenized real-world assets.

What makes Robinhood Chain different from other Layer-2s?

It is optimized specifically for onchain finance and tokenized real-world assets like equities, ETFs, and private assets. It combines Ethereum's security with the throughput and low transaction costs of an Arbitrum Orbit L2, in an open and permissionless environment.

What types of applications can developers build on Robinhood Chain?

Tokenized real-world assets like equities and ETFs, payments and asset-management apps, trading applications, and onchain finance products where users hold, move, or self-custody real-world value 24/7.

How do I connect to Robinhood Chain Testnet?

Add the network using Chain ID 46630, currency symbol ETH, and the Robinhood Chain Testnet explorer. For production-grade access, create an app on the Robinhood Chain Testnet in your Alchemy dashboard to get a dedicated RPC and WebSocket endpoint.

How do I get testnet funds?

Use the Robinhood Chain faucet to deposit testnet funds directly into your wallet, or bring Sepolia ETH from any faucet and bridge it onto Robinhood Chain.

How do I start building on Robinhood Chain with Alchemy?

Sign up for a free Alchemy account, create an app on the Robinhood Chain Testnet to get your API key, and visit our Robinhood Chain documentation, or reach out to discuss your project.
