As the core "battlefield" for Robinhood's entry into Layer 2, Robinhood Chain is rapidly building a comprehensive ecosystem covering stock tokens, RWAs, perpetual contracts, and spot trading.
On July 2, 2026, when Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet, it also simultaneously kicked off a 90-day Gas Fee Reduction event, covering scenarios such as swaps, cross-chain, and Perp trading.
As of July 6, 2026, just 4 days after the launch of Robinhood Chain, the ecosystem's TVL is still relatively low, standing at around $76.73 million. This article will outline the projects worth focusing on and the potential opportunities within.

Arcus is a stock token and cryptocurrency DEX jointly built by dYdX Labs and Robinhood Crypto, focusing on spot and perpetual contracts to facilitate peer-to-peer trading of stock tokens on Robinhood Chain.
When announcing Arcus, dYdX stated that a portion of Arcus tokens will be allocated to the dYdX community in the future. The Defiant also reported that Arcus tokens will be primarily distributed to users who trade, stake, or validate on the dYdX platform, giving priority to existing dYdX community members at the token launch.

Lighter is a ZK-powered decentralized perpetual and spot trading platform deployed on the Robinhood Chain. Robinhood Wallet users can now directly trade perpetual contracts and stock tokens through Lighter.
According to Bankless, Lighter has committed to allocate $11 million equivalent in LIT to the Robinhood community: users trading perpetual contracts on Lighter can earn points (earning double points through Robinhood Wallet transactions and single points through the Lighter web app), which can be directly converted to LIT (subject to Lighter's terms).
Robinhood is gradually rolling out Robinhood Earn to eligible U.S. users, allowing users to lend out the stablecoin USDG through their self-custodied wallets. Robinhood expects an annualized yield of 7%.
The USDG provided through Robinhood Earn will be deposited into the Morpho treasury and allocated within the Morpho marketplace. Borrowers collateralize their loans with assets from protocols like Spark, Ethena, and Maple to borrow USDG, with returns coming from the interest they pay.
Rialto has stepped into the limelight in collaboration with Robinhood Crypto, Offchain, and Arbitrum, presenting itself as an on-chain spot trading platform supporting various asset types such as cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs, and commodities.
In its initial stage, Rialto will list over 90 Robinhood stock tokens and major crypto assets on the Robinhood Chain.
Upon user order initiation, Rialto requests real-time quotes for the order size from all eligible 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 defines propAMM as an on-chain market maker quoting with proprietary inventory and pricing logic.
Arrakis is a non-custodial on-chain market maker protocol aimed at token issuers, managing centralized liquidity on DEX through self-custodied treasuries: the issuer owns the treasury and its assets, while Arrakis operates market-making strategies within the parameters defined by the issuer.
In December 2022, Arrakis Finance completed a $4 million seed round 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 is a Robinhood Chain ecosystem focused on RWA synthetic contracts and a prediction market platform, with USDe as the settlement asset.
It is worth noting that Meridian, formerly known as Ethereal, rebranded to Meridian in May 2026, shifting from its early focus on more generic derivatives/trading infrastructure to a gradual focus on RWA + prediction markets + perpetual contracts.
In November 2024, Ethereal had announced plans to allocate 15% of all future Ethereal governance tokens to ENA (sENA) stakers.
Native is an on-chain price discovery and execution system that was deployed on the Robinhood Chain on July 2. Native had previously supported networks such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, and Base.
Responding to community inquiries on July 2, Native stated, "There is currently no token issuance plan, but we value every supporter."
