Want to Get Freebies from Robinhood Chain? Which Ecosystem Projects Are Worth Watching?
**Title: Want to Get the Robinhood Chain Airdrop? Which Ecosystem Projects Are Worth Watching?**
**Summary:**
Robinhood Chain, a key part of Robinhood's push into Layer 2, aims to build a comprehensive ecosystem covering stock tokens, RWAs, perpetual contracts, and spot trading. With its mainnet launch on July 2, 2026, came a 90-day gas fee waiver for swaps, cross-chain transactions, and Perp trading.
While the ecosystem's TVL was still modest at around $76.73 million as of July 6, 2026, several early projects present potential opportunities. Key projects highlighted include:
* **Arcus:** A stock token and crypto DEX built by dYdX Labs and Robinhood Crypto, focusing on spot and perpetual contracts. Future ARCUS tokens are expected to prioritize the existing dYdX community.
* **Lighter:** A ZK-powered decentralized perpetual and spot exchange deployed on Robinhood Chain. It has committed $11 million worth of LIT tokens to the Robinhood community, with users earning points (and double points via Robinhood Wallet) for trading, convertible to LIT.
* **Morpho:** Integral to the newly launched "Robinhood Earn" program in the US, where user-supplied USDG stablecoins are lent out via Morpho vaults, targeting a 7% APY.
* **Rialto:** An on-chain spot exchange supporting crypto, stocks, ETFs, and commodities. It will initially list over 90 Robinhood stock tokens and uses a "propAMM" system where market makers provide quotes from their own inventory.
* **Arrakis:** A non-custodial, on-chain market maker protocol for token issuers to manage concentrated liquidity on DEXs.
* **Meridian:** A platform on Robinhood Chain focusing on RWA perpetual contracts and prediction markets, settled in USDe. It rebranded from Ethereal and had previously planned to allocate 15% of its future governance tokens to ENA stakers.
* **Native:** An on-chain price discovery and execution system recently deployed on Robinhood Chain, though the team has stated there are no current plans for a token launch.
