Chainstack adds Robinhood Chain support across managed and self-hosted node deployments

Singapore, August 5, 2026 — Chainstack, a Web3 infrastructure platform serving 100K+ developers across 70+ blockchain networks, has added Robinhood Chain support across three deployment models: Global Nodes, Dedicated Nodes, and Chainstack Self-Hosted. Robinhood Chain mainnet went live on July 1, 2026. Chainstack endpoints are live for mainnet (chain ID 4663) and testnet (chain ID 46630).

What Robinhood Chain is

Robinhood Chain is a permissionless, EVM-compatible Ethereum layer 2 built as an Arbitrum Orbit chain running the Nitro stack, purpose-designed for finance and tokenized real-world assets. It produces blocks every 100 milliseconds with sub-second soft confirmations, uses Ether (ETH) as its gas token, and posts data to Ethereum using blobs. Full Ethereum finality follows roughly 13 minutes after a batch is posted to layer 1. The network exposes standard Ethereum JSON-RPC, so Foundry, Hardhat, ethers.js, viem, and web3.py work unchanged, and Solidity contracts deploy without modification.

One detail matters for trading workloads: the sequencer orders transactions first come, first served by arrival time, so a higher priority fee does not move a transaction ahead of the queue. Endpoint latency, not fee strategy, determines ordering outcomes — making node placement an execution concern, not a cost concern.

Three deployment paths, one control plane

Global Nodes are auto-scaling, load-balanced RPC endpoints; Dedicated Nodes are isolated high-performance instances with unlimited requests. Chainstack Self-Hosted is a Kubernetes-native control plane for running nodes inside the customer’s own environment, handling deployment, monitoring, updates, and recovery, with one-click deployment, self-healing, and snapshot bootstrapping that brings new nodes online without a full sync from genesis. Chainstack is among the first infrastructure providers to offer a self-hosted path for Robinhood Chain.

Why the third path matters

Tokenized-equity infrastructure splits three ways. A proprietary trading firm needs latency guarantees. A wallet integrating tokenized equities needs cost-predictable throughput. A regulated issuer or licensed broker-dealer frequently cannot place customer-linked transaction data on third-party infrastructure at all, regardless of the provider’s certifications.

“RWA teams can get the token model and compliance framework right and still be blocked by infrastructure policy,” said Eugene Aseev, CTO and co-founder of Chainstack. 

“For a regulated issuer, where the node runs can decide whether the product ships at all. With managed and self-hosted deployments on the same control plane, teams can bring infrastructure into their own environment without rebuilding the stack.”

Availability

Robinhood Chain joins Chainstack’s 70+ supported networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Hyperliquid — one platform, one billing relationship, and one observability layer for cross-chain RWA flows. Chainstack also operates a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets developers query on-chain data and deploy nodes from Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT.

Endpoints are live now. Create a Chainstack account, deploy a node on mainnet or testnet, and use the HTTPS or WSS endpoint with chain ID 4663 or 46630. Testnet tokens are available through the Chainstack faucet, and free-tier access is available for teams evaluating the network.
