Robinhood has opened the public testnet for developers for the new Ethereum layer-2 network Robinhood Chain developed with Arbitrum technology. This network aims to bring tokenized real-world and digital assets on-chain. According to Cointelegraph, the testnet offers network access points, docs.chain.robinhood.com documentation, compatibility with standard Ethereum development tools, and early integrations from infrastructure partners. The chain is designed for financial-grade use cases such as 24/7 trading, seamless bridging, self-custody, and tokenized asset platforms, lending markets, and perpetual futures exchanges.
Robinhood Chain Testnet Features and Access
Mainnet launch is planned for later this year; features like exclusive stock-like tokens and ETH detailed analysis with Robinhood Wallet integration will be added in the coming months. Robinhood Crypto and International Senior Vice President Johann Kerbrat stated that the testnet lays the foundation for an ecosystem that will shape the future of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and provide access to DeFi liquidity in the Ethereum ecosystem.
ETH L2 Scaling with Arbitrum Technology
Robinhood Chain aims to overcome ETH's high gas fees and slowness using the Arbitrum Orbit framework. This L2 solution offers thousands of transactions per second with the optimistic rollup mechanism while remaining fully compatible with the ETH main chain. The company is pursuing an infrastructure-focused strategy by tokenizing 500 US stocks and ETFs on Arbitrum; similar trends are seen in ARB futures, Coinbase Base L2, and Kraken Ink. This will accelerate RWA tokenization in the ETH ecosystem.
