> Research Robinhood Chain projects, Stock Tokens and infrastructure. Read issuer comparisons, check contract references and find developer resources and jobs.

HoodL2 documents Robinhood Chain (https://robinhood.com/chain). Robinhood Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer 2 built on the Arbitrum stack and settled to Ethereum; public testnet February 2026, mainnet 1 July 2026 (chain ID 4663). Gas is paid in ETH. Applications can be deployed openly; sequencing and validation have specific operators. HoodL2 tracks 167 entities across the chain and its core contracts, Stock Tokens, stablecoins, DeFi, bridges, and infrastructure, each with sources and a confidence level.

## Notes
- HoodL2 is not affiliated with Robinhood. Trademarks belong to their owners.
- The network documentation reviewed on 7 September 2026 specifies ETH for gas. No native chain token or token-staking programme is announced in those documents. The governance reference identifies permissioned validators and Security Council voting rules.
- Stock Tokens are tokenized debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Limited, not direct ownership of the underlying shares.
