Robinhood Chain RPC, chain ID 4663 and network settings
Robinhood Chain network settings: chain ID 4663 (0x1237), public RPC URLs, ETH gas, the block explorer, an eth_chainId check and what an indexed API adds.
Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum Orbit L2 with chain ID 4663 (0x1237) and ETH as its gas token. The official public RPC is https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com (fallback https://robinhood-rpc.publicnode.com) and the block explorer is https://robin.etherscan.io. For prices, trades, holders and launches, GET /v1/robinhood/stats and the rest of the Crius API answer without an RPC.
Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum layer-2 network built on Arbitrum Orbit, with chain ID 4663 (0x1237 in hex) and ETH as its gas token. To connect a wallet or a script you need four things: the chain ID, an RPC URL (https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com), the currency symbol ETH and the block explorer (https://robin.etherscan.io). The chain’s main assets are WETH, the USDG dollar stablecoin and tokenized stocks such as NVDA and TSLA; the Robinhood Chain concept page lists the WETH and USDG addresses.
Network settings: add Robinhood Chain to a wallet
Enter these values in a wallet’s “add network” form, or in your app’s chain config.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Network name | Robinhood Chain |
| RPC URL | https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com |
| Fallback RPC URL | https://robinhood-rpc.publicnode.com |
| Chain ID | 4663 (hex 0x1237) |
| Currency symbol | ETH (18 decimals) |
| Block explorer | https://robin.etherscan.io (alternative: Hoodscan) |
From a dapp, the same settings go into the standard wallet_addEthereumChain request (EIP-3085), which takes the chain ID in hex:
await window.ethereum.request({ method: "wallet_addEthereumChain", params: [{ chainId: "0x1237", // 4663 chainName: "Robinhood Chain", nativeCurrency: { name: "Ether", symbol: "ETH", decimals: 18 }, rpcUrls: ["https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com", "https://robinhood-rpc.publicnode.com"], blockExplorerUrls: ["https://robin.etherscan.io"], }],});Check the chain ID over RPC
Any JSON-RPC client can confirm it is talking to Robinhood Chain. eth_chainId takes no parameters:
curl -s -X POST https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com \ -H 'content-type: application/json' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_chainId"}'# {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x1237"}0x1237 is 4663. The fallback RPC returns the same result, and net_version returns the decimal string "4663". eth_blockNumber gives the latest L2 block in hex; Robinhood Chain had passed block 100 million when these docs were written.
Block time, gas and finality in one call
An RPC tells you about one block at a time. The Crius chain stats endpoint sums up the network over a window, from Crius’s own archive nodes, without an API key.

What an RPC gives you, and what an indexed API adds
An RPC node answers questions about raw state: a balance, a contract call, the logs in a block range. It is also how you send transactions. An indexed API has already read every block and turned the logs into answers.
| Question | Over RPC | With the Crius API |
|---|---|---|
| Send a transaction, estimate gas, read a nonce | eth_sendRawTransaction, eth_estimateGas, eth_getTransactionCount | Not available: Crius is read-only. Keep an RPC for this. |
| What is this token worth in USD? | Find its pools, read slot0 or reserves, then convert the quote to USD | /token/{address}/price (anonymous) |
| Who holds this token? | Replay every Transfer log since the token's first block | /token/{address}/holders (Free plan) |
| Which tokens launched in the last minute, and on which launchpad? | Watch every factory you know about | /tokens?list=new with launchpad on each row (anonymous) |
| Is this token a honeypot, and what tax does it charge? | Read the contract and simulate a buy and a sell | /token/{address}/security (anonymous) |
| Is the data final? | Ask for safe and finalized blocks yourself | meta.safe_block, meta.finalized_block and meta.lag_ms on every response |
The RPC migration guide maps each RPC read to its Crius call, with before-and-after code.
Use it in your app
-
Pin the chain ID. Check
eth_chainIdreturns0x1237when your app connects, and refuse to sign for any other chain. -
Use the RPC for writes. Transactions, gas estimates, nonces and calls to your own contracts go through an RPC: the public one for testing, a dedicated provider or your own node in production.
-
Read market data from an index. Prices, trades, candles, holders, launches and security checks come from the Crius API; most of it works without a key.
-
Watch the index.
/v1/statusreportsstatus(live,catching_up,stalled,starting) andlag_ms; every response carriesmeta.block.

What is the chain ID of Robinhood Chain?
4663, or 0x1237 in hex. eth_chainId on the public RPC returns "0x1237" and net_version returns "4663". Wallets, signing libraries (EIP-155) and wallet_addEthereumChain use this number.
What is the Robinhood Chain RPC URL?
The official public RPC is https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com. https://robinhood-rpc.publicnode.com is a public fallback that returns the same chain ID. Both are shared by everyone, so production apps usually use a dedicated RPC provider or their own node for writes, and an indexed API such as Crius for market data.
What is the gas token on Robinhood Chain?
ETH. It has 18 decimals, like on Ethereum, and is shown with the symbol ETH in wallets. Fees are low: in the 24-hour stats sample the L2 gas price was 0.021042 gwei and an average swap cost $0.0186374 (gas.avg_swap_cost_usd).
Which block explorer does Robinhood Chain use?
Robinhood Chain Etherscan at robin.etherscan.io is the explorer to put in wallet settings. Hoodscan is an alternative explorer for the same chain.
Can I use the chain ID in Crius API URLs?
Yes. The chain segment of every path takes the slug or the chain ID, so /v1/4663/stats and /v1/robinhood/stats return the same data. The examples in these docs use robinhood.
