Hyperliquid L1 vs Robinhood Chain

Hyperliquid is a performance‑tuned Layer‑1 that employs HyperBFT consensus—an optimised HotStuff variant—to finalise blocks in 400 ms. Its on‑chain order book matches > 100k orders per second without gas, made possible by an in‑memory state machine replicated across 32 validators. Launched in April 2024, the chain settles $4‑6 billion daily volume in perpetual futures and supports CosmWasm smart contracts for third‑party dApps.

Robinhood Chain is Robinhood's permissionless Ethereum Layer‑2 built on Arbitrum's Orbit stack, with a public testnet from February 2026 and mainnet launch on July 1, 2026. It offers full EVM compatibility, 100‑millisecond blocks, ETH as the native gas token, and native ERC‑4337 account abstraction for gas sponsorship and social recovery, with BitGo and Alchemy providing custody and node infrastructure. The chain is purpose‑built for tokenized real‑world assets, hosting 24/7 Stock Tokens that track US equity prices (without ownership or voting rights) alongside DeFi venues such as Uniswap, Lighter and Morpho‑powered lending; no dedicated Robinhood Chain token is mapped, so the blockchain is imported without an associated token.
