How Do I Send Ethereum to Robinhood Chain?
Rift Research
Last updated
TLDR: Sending from Ethereum to Robinhood Chain is a send. Robinhood Wallet already frames the action as send, receive and swap. Rift is an aggregator with best price execution. It compares the official Robinhood routes and other venues, then selects the winner. Rift adds 0 fee on the route. If the canonical bridge, Across, Relay, LayerZero, LI.FI or another listed path prints the best rate, Rift gives you that path with no added fee.
A send to Robinhood Chain is not a deposit into the Robinhood brokerage app. Robinhood’s own support page states that Robinhood Chain “operates independently of the main Robinhood app and doesn’t affect your investments, crypto balances, or portfolio.” The user action is still a send. The destination is chain ID 4663, not a brokerage ledger.
What Robinhood Chain is
Robinhood documents the network as a permissionless, Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 built on Arbitrum Dedicated Blockchains. ETH is the native gas token. The public RPC, chain ID and explorer are published in Connecting to Robinhood Chain:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Network | Robinhood Chain |
| Chain ID | 4663 |
| Gas token | ETH |
| Public RPC | https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com |
| Explorer | robinhoodchain.blockscout.com |
Robinhood Wallet supports the chain natively. Any EVM wallet can add the same network config. See Robinhood Chain mainnet.
The send, in Robinhood’s words
Robinhood Wallet support tells users they can send crypto to any address that supports Robinhood Chain, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Dogecoin, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism or Base — and to keep the send on the same network the destination expects. See Send, receive, and swap crypto.
Cross-chain, that same send is what Robinhood’s developer docs call bridging. Bridging lists the official routes. The product surface is a send. The rail underneath can be the canonical Arbitrum bridge or a partner route.
Official routes (from Robinhood docs)
Robinhood’s bridging page is the source of truth for listed rails:
| Route | Type | Speed (docs) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arbitrum canonical bridge | Trustless L1↔︎L2 | Deposit ~10 min · withdrawal ~7-day challenge period | ETH and ERC-20s between Ethereum and Robinhood Chain |
| LayerZero OFT / Stargate | Messaging + OFT | Minutes, source-chain finality | Fast movement of WBTC, USDG and other OFTs |
| Chainlink CCIP / Transporter | Messaging + token transfer | Minutes | Token transfers and messages, e.g. SyrupUSDG |
| Relay | Intent / relayer | Seconds | Fast, low-cost transfers; bridge-and-execute |
| Across | Intent rail | Seconds | Capital-efficient asset bridging |
| LI.FI / 0x | Aggregated swap-and-bridge | Seconds–minutes | Swap-and-bridge in one step |
Canonical deposits use Arbitrum retryable tickets. If the L2 leg fails (usually underfunded gas), Robinhood docs say the funds are not lost and can be redeemed from the bridge UI within 7 days. Withdrawals back to Ethereum are three steps: initiate on L2, wait the challenge period, claim on L1.
Partner UIs Robinhood links out to include portal.arbitrum.io, relay.link/bridge/robinhood, across.to/?to=robinhood, stargate.finance, app.transporter.io, li.fi and 0x.org.
Other options, then Rift
Use the canonical bridge when you want the trustless Ethereum↔︎Robinhood Chain path and can wait ~10 minutes inbound.
Use Relay or Across when Robinhood’s own table says you want seconds instead of minutes.
Use LayerZero / Stargate when the asset is an OFT such as USDG or WBTC.
Use LI.FI or 0x when you need a swap and a send in one flow. Robinhood Wallet itself swaps on Robinhood Chain via 0x and LI.FI.
Use Rift when you do not want to pick the rail by hand. Rift is an aggregator with best price execution. It includes those venues on overlapping routes. Rift adds 0 fee. If Across wins, you get Across. If the canonical path wins, you get that path. If Relay wins, you get Relay. No Rift markup on top.
Rift supported chains include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Hyperliquid, RobinhoodChain, Tempo, XLayer, Ink and Pharos.
Practical send
- Add Robinhood Chain (4663) to the wallet, or use Robinhood Wallet.
- Send ETH or a supported ERC-20 from Ethereum toward your own address on 4663. Keep gas in ETH on the destination — Robinhood docs are explicit that gas is ETH.
- Wait for the destination leg. Canonical inbound is about 10 minutes per Robinhood. Intent rails advertise seconds.
- Confirm the token that arrived is the one the destination app expects (native vs OFT vs wrapped).
- Then trade Stock Tokens, memecoins or anything else listed onchain.
Rift can quote that send, compare the official rails, and execute the winner at 0 added fee.
FAQ
Is this a send into the Robinhood app?
No. It is a send onto Robinhood Chain. The brokerage app is a separate product. Robinhood says the chain is not connected to brokerage or crypto accounts.
Can I send mainnet ETH to a 4663 address without a bridge rail?
A raw same-address send on the wrong network does not land. Use a listed route (canonical or partner) or an aggregator that selects one.
Which official path is cheapest?
It depends on size, asset and gas. That is why an aggregator with best price execution exists. Quote Rift.
