Robinhood Chain, explained by people who don’t work for Robinhood
An Ethereum layer-2 network built for tokenized stocks, live on mainnet since 1 July 2026. This site is a plain-English guide to how it works, written independently, with no wallet to sell you and nothing to connect.

Why this site exists
When a big consumer brand launches a blockchain, two things happen at once. A lot of people get curious, and a lot of look-alike sites appear to take advantage of them.
We show live network figures, but we do not pretend to be an explorer. Blockscout and Robinscan run the indexers; we read the same public data and put it next to a straight, careful answer to the ordinary questions: what is this, what does it cost, is this link real?
That is all this is. Independent, free to read, and deliberately boring in the ways that matter.
What we do
- Explain the network in plain English
- Show you how to verify things for yourself
- Point to official tools for live data
- Date and update everything we publish
What we never do
- Ask you to connect a wallet — ever
- Ask for a seed phrase or private key
- Claim to be Robinhood or work with Robinhood
- Give financial advice or price predictions
