Overview Two weeks after the Robinhood Chain mainnet went live, sorting its projects has become a genuine investment question. On one side sit protocols with clearly assigned roles: Arcus, built by the dYdX team; Lighter, which committed $11 million in incentives; and Morpho, the lending engine beneath Robinhood Earn.

Overview The market's interest in Robinhood Chain has little to do with the arrival of yet another Ethereum layer-2 — that field was crowded long ago. It has everything to do with who issued it: a licensed brokerage with more than 23 million retail accounts putting its core product onto rails it owns. Since the July 1 mainnet launch, tokenized stocks, decentralized lending, and around-the-clock trading have gone live across more than 120 countries, with US persons explicitly excluded. The combin
