Katana vs Robinhood Chain

Katana is a DeFi Layer-1 chain incubated by Polygon Labs and GSR, designed to maximize on-chain liquidity and real yield. Its Vaultbridge system redeploys bridged assets like ETH and USDC into yield strategies on Ethereum, while Chain-owned Liquidity (CoL) channels 100% of sequencer fees into deep, protocol-controlled liquidity pools. Katana’s native AUSD stablecoin, backed by US Treasuries, powers lending markets and DEX liquidity with off-chain yield incentives.

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.
