OP Mainnet vs Robinhood Chain

OP Mainnet (Optimism) is an optimistic rollup that batches transactions to Ethereum and relies on fraud proofs submitted during a seven‑day challenge window. The Bedrock upgrade in 2023 cut L1 calldata costs by 40 % and introduced multi‑proof modularity. ‘RetroPGF’ rounds redistribute protocol revenue to public‑goods builders, governed by the OP token‑holder Collective.

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.
