Paying with Robinhood Chain, step by step

Robinhood Chain, Robinhood Wallet and the Robinhood app

Robinhood Chain is a permissionless Ethereum Layer 2 built on Arbitrum Orbit. It settles to Ethereum, uses ETH for gas and was designed for tokenized real-world assets, which is why most early activity comes from Stock Tokens traded through the self-custodial Robinhood Wallet in more than 120 countries.

USDG is the Global Dollar stablecoin issued by Paxos and redeemable 1:1 for US dollars. For anyone holding dollar value on Robinhood Chain, it is the simpler way to pay, since the order total stays fixed regardless of ETH price moves.

For checkout, what matters is where your funds sit. ETH or USDG on Robinhood Chain, held in Robinhood Wallet or any EVM wallet with the network added, pays directly. Balances in a Robinhood brokerage account need to be moved to a Robinhood Chain wallet first. Stock Tokens sit outside what checkout accepts, so swap them to ETH or USDG before paying.

Robinhood covered gas for Robinhood Wallet transactions for the first 90 days after mainnet. That subsidy ended on September 29, 2026. Network fees are paid in ETH on every payment, USDG included, so keep a small amount of ETH in the wallet alongside the order total.
