What Is Robinhood Chain? A Simple Guide

The Bandit Team3 min read

Robinhood Chain is a fast, low-fee Ethereum layer-2 network. If you have used Arbitrum, you already know the shape of it. Here is what makes it worth paying attention to, especially if you care about meme coins.

The basics

  • Chain ID — 4663.
  • Type — an Arbitrum Orbit layer-2, so it settles to Ethereum and inherits its security.
  • Native asset — ETH. You pay gas in ETH and trade in ETH, no wrapped-gas-token dance.
  • Fees and speed — low fees and quick confirmations, the way an L2 should be.

Why it suits meme coins

Meme coins live or die on how cheap and fast it is to get in and out. High fees kill the fun. Robinhood Chain keeps launches and trades cheap, and because the ecosystem is new, the coins being launched today are early by definition.

How to get ETH on Robinhood Chain

You bridge ETH onto Robinhood Chain from Ethereum or another L2 using a bridge that supports the network. Once your ETH lands, you can pay gas and trade directly. Keep a little aside for gas before you start buying.

Launch or trade on Bandit

Bandit is the meme-coin launchpad built for Robinhood Chain. You can launch a coin with no code, or browse what is live on the board. Builders can read the developer docs to integrate.
