As the core "battlefield" for Robinhood's entry into Layer 2, Robinhood Chain is rapidly building a complete ecosystem covering stock tokens, RWA, perpetual contracts, and spot trading.
On July 2, 2026, Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet while simultaneously initiating a 90-day gas fee reduction campaign, covering scenarios such as exchanges, cross-chain, and perpetual trading.
As of July 6, 2026, just 4 days after its launch, the ecosystem's TVL on Robinhood Chain is still not high, around 76.73 million USD. This article will outline the key projects and potential opportunities worth noting.

Arcus
Arcus is a stock token and cryptocurrency DEX jointly built by dYdX Labs and Robinhood Crypto, focusing on spot and perpetual contracts, facilitating peer-to-peer trading of stock tokens on Robinhood Chain.
dYdX stated when announcing Arcus that a portion of the Arcus tokens would be allocated to the dYdX community in the future. The Defiant also reported that Arcus tokens will be prioritized for users who trade, stake, or verify on the dYdX platform, giving existing dYdX community members priority at the time of token issuance.

Lighter
Lighter is a ZK-driven decentralized perpetual and spot exchange deployed on Robinhood Chain. Robinhood Wallet users can now trade perpetual contracts and stock tokens directly through Lighter.
According to Bankless, Lighter has committed to investing the equivalent of 11 million USD in LIT to the Robinhood community: users can earn points when trading perpetual contracts on Lighter (2x points for trades through Robinhood Wallet, 1x points through the Lighter web application), and points can be directly redeemed for LIT (subject to Lighter's terms).

Morpho
Robinhood is gradually rolling out Robinhood Earn to eligible US users, allowing them to lend stablecoin USDG through self-custodied wallets. Robinhood expects an annualized yield of 7%.
The USDG provided through Robinhood Earn will be deposited in the Morpho treasury and distributed in the Morpho market. Borrowers provide collateral from protocols such as Spark, Ethena, and Maple to borrow USDG, with earnings coming from the interest they pay.
Rialto
Rialto emerged in the context of collaboration with Robinhood Crypto, Offchain, and Arbitrum as an on-chain spot exchange supporting asset types such as cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs, and commodities.
Initially, Rialto will launch over 90 Robinhood stock tokens and major cryptocurrencies on Robinhood Chain.
After a user initiates an order, Rialto will request real-time quotes for the order size from all candidate liquidity sources, including propAMM and traditional DEX pools, and then rank the net outputs after deducting network costs. The core element here is propAMM. Rialto defines propAMM as: on-chain market makers quoting using their own inventory and proprietary pricing logic.
Arrakis
Arrakis is a non-custodial on-chain market maker protocol for token issuers, managing concentrated liquidity on a DEX through self-custodied treasuries: issuers own the treasury and its assets, while Arrakis operates market-making strategies within parameters set by the issuer.
In December 2022, Arrakis Finance completed a $4 million seed round of financing in the form of a SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens), with participation from Uniswap Labs Ventures, Accel, Polygon Ventures, and Robot Ventures.
Meridian
Meridian is a platform in the Robinhood Chain ecosystem focused on RWA perpetual contracts and prediction markets, with settlement assets in USDe.
Notably, Meridian was formerly known as Ethereal, which was rebranded to Meridian in May 2026, shifting from a potentially broader derivatives/trading infrastructure to focusing on RWA + prediction markets + perpetual contracts.
In November 2024, Ethereal stated that it would allocate 15% of all future Ethereal governance tokens to ENA (sENA) stakers.
Native
Native is an on-chain price discovery and execution system, which was deployed on Robinhood Chain on July 2. Native previously supported networks such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Base.
When responding to community questions on July 2, Native stated that "there are currently no plans for token issuance, but we cherish every supporter."
