# What is this Robinhood Blockchain?
Robinhood Chain is a permissionless, AI-native Layer 2 blockchain built on the Arbitrum stack. It settles to Ethereum, utilizes ETH for gas, and leverages Ethereum blobs for data availability. It is designed to bridge the gap between legacy brokerage rails and the on-chain economy by focusing on real-world assets [RWA] and agentic workflows.
The endgame for retail finance is a permissionless EVM sandbox where Stock Tokens and AI agents collide.
The network is specifically optimized for tokenized real-world assets, including Stock Tokens tied to NVIDIA, Google, and Apple. These tokens are designed to be composed into decentralized applications for lending, yield, and trading. While the infrastructure is global, note that Stock Tokens are currently unavailable to users in the United States.

For the builders, it is a standard EVM environment [Chain ID: 4663] supported by major infrastructure players like Alchemy and QuickNode. The platform pitches itself as a purpose-built home for AI agents to trade, swap, and manage portfolios autonomously. It aims to integrate the existing Robinhood user base directly into a DeFi ecosystem without the usual walled-garden friction.
