Meet Robinhood Chain

Learn the difference between mainnet, testnet, gas, and explorers.

02.1

An EVM-compatible Layer 2

Robinhood Chain uses standard Ethereum tooling. Smart contracts are written in Solidity, wallets sign EVM transactions, and ETH pays network fees.

The public testnet uses chain ID 46630. Mainnet uses a different chain ID and real assets, so a careful builder always checks the connected network.

02.2

Testnet is rehearsal

Testnet tokens have no monetary value. It is where you validate deployment, permissions, interfaces, and user instructions before considering any production launch.

02.3

Explorers are receipts

A block explorer shows contract code, transactions, holders, and token metadata. It is a primary verification surface—not a substitute for an audit or independent review.
