As the core “battleground” for Robinhood’s push into Layer 2, Robinhood Chain is rapidly building a complete ecosystem spanning stock tokens, RWA, perpetual contracts, and spot trading.

On July 2, 2026, alongside the launch of its mainnet, Robinhood Chain also simultaneously kicked off a 90-day gas fee reduction campaign covering scenarios such as swaps, cross-chain activity, and Perp trading.

As of July 6, 2026—only 4 days after going live—Robinhood Chain’s ecosystem TVL remains relatively modest, at about $76.73 million. This article will sort through the projects worth paying close attention to, along with potential opportunities.

Arcus

Arcus is a stock-token and crypto DEX jointly built by dYdX Labs and Robinhood Crypto. It focuses on spot trading and perpetual contracts, enabling peer-to-peer trading of stock tokens on Robinhood Chain.

When dYdX announced Arcus, it said that in the future, part of the Arcus token supply will be allocated to the dYdX community. The Defiant also reported that Arcus tokens will be prioritized for users who trade, stake, or validate on the dYdX platform, with existing dYdX community members receiving priority at the time of token issuance.

Lighter

Lighter is a ZK-driven decentralized perpetual and spot trading platform that has been 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 invest the equivalent of $11 million in LIT into the Robinhood community: users can earn points by trading perpetual contracts on Lighter (2x points via trading through Robinhood Wallet, 1x points via the Lighter web app). Points can be redeemed directly for LIT (subject to Lighter’s terms).

Morpho

Robinhood is gradually rolling out Robinhood Earn to eligible U.S. users, allowing them to borrow stablecoin USDG using self-custody wallets. Robinhood expects an annualized yield of 7%.

The USDG provided through Robinhood Earn will be deposited into Morpho vaults and allocated across Morpho markets. Borrowers provide collateral from protocols such as Spark, Ethena, and Maple to borrow USDG, and earnings come from the interest they pay.

Rialto

Rialto, coming to the forefront in the context of collaboration with Robinhood Crypto, Offchain, and Arbitrum, is an on-chain spot trading platform that supports asset types including cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs, and commodities.

In its initial phase, Rialto will launch more than 90 Robinhood stock tokens, as well as major crypto assets on Robinhood Chain.

After a user places an order, Rialto requests real-time quotes for the order size from all candidate liquidity sources, including propAMM and traditional DEX pools, and then ranks them by net output after deducting network costs. The core here is propAMM. Rialto’s definition of propAMM is: an on-chain market maker that provides quotes using its own inventory and its own pricing logic.

Arrakis

Arrakis is a non-custodial on-chain market maker protocol for token issuers. It manages concentrated liquidity on DEXs through a self-custodied treasury: the issuer owns the treasury and its assets, while Arrakis runs the market-making strategy within parameter ranges set by the issuer.

In December 2022, Arrakis Finance completed a $4 million seed round in the form of a SAFT (Simple Agreement for Future Tokens), with participation from Uniswap Labs Ventures, Accel, Polygon Ventures, and Robot Ventures, among others.

Meridian

Meridian is a Robinhood Chain ecosystem platform focused on perpetual contracts for RWA and prediction markets, with settlement assets in USDe.

Worth noting is that Meridian’s predecessor was Ethereal. In May 2026, it was renamed Meridian, gradually shifting from a potentially more general derivatives/trading infrastructure to a focus 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 that has been deployed to Robinhood Chain as of July 2. Native previously supported networks including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Base.

On July 2, Native, in response to community questions, said, “There are currently no token issuance plans, but we will cherish every supporter.”
