Arbitrum and Robinhood trade notes on why Robinhood Chain built on Arbitrum
The official Arbitrum account has kept up a running explanation of why Robinhood chose Arbitrum to power Robinhood Chain. In reply to Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev — who said the firm "looked long and hard at all the other ecosystems" and found "nothing quite met our specific needs of building the #1 chain for real world assets (and memes too)" — Arbitrum answered: "Nothing - but Arbitrum @RobinhoodApp deserved their own chain, and we're happy to have worked with them to make it happen."
- Tenev's remarks came in response to questions about why Robinhood picked Arbitrum over other ecosystems
- Arbitrum's own framing cites a strong fit between the teams, a proven track record building and scaling blockchain infrastructure, and a faster path to launch that let Robinhood focus on the financial products built on top
