Robinhood Chain & Ledger: How to Send, Receive & Secure Your Assets

Robinhood Chain is a new permissionless Layer 2 for onchain finance that went live on July 1, 2026, and Ledger is one of a small group of wallet partners supporting it from day one. If you access Robinhood Chain through Ledger, you stay in control of your assets. You can send, receive, and secure them through Ledger Wallet™, and your private keys stay on your Ledger signer at every step.

What Is Robinhood Chain?

Robinhood Chain is a permissionless, Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 blockchain built for onchain finance. It launched on July 1, 2026 as part of Robinhood’s move into onchain infrastructure.

A Layer 2 is a network built on top of a base blockchain to process transactions faster and more cheaply, while still settling back to that base chain for security. Rather than replacing the base layer, it extends it, inheriting the base chain’s security while giving applications more room to run at scale.

Robinhood Chain follows this model. It is built with Arbitrum’s Orbit framework and runs on the same Nitro technology stack that powers established networks such as Arbitrum One, and it uses ETH as its gas token. Transactions are batched and verified on the network, then settled back to Ethereum, the base-layer chain Robinhood Chain builds on.

How Does Ledger Secure Your Assets on Robinhood Chain?

Ledger secures your activity on Robinhood Chain by keeping your private keys offline on your Ledger signer and requiring you to confirm every transaction on the device itself.

Each action on the network, whether you send, receive, or secure assets, depends on how your wallet handles your keys. The roles stay separate: Robinhood Chain runs the network, Ledger Wallet displays and initiates the transaction, and your Ledger signer performs the signing. Your private keys stay offline throughout, isolated from the internet, from Robinhood’s servers, and from your browser.

This is the principle behind a hardware root of trust. The network can evolve independently of your keys, and the keys that authorize your activity stay on a device only you control. It is the same security model Ledger applies across most of the networks it supports.

How Clear Signing Works on Robinhood Chain Via Ledger

Clear Signing shows you a transaction in plain, human-readable language on your signer’s screen before you approve it.

Rather than approving raw transaction data, you see the action, the amount, and the destination on the Secure Screen. You check it against what you intended to do, then physically confirm it on the device. Because that confirmation happens on hardware isolated from the internet, a compromised app or browser extension cannot change what you are approving without your knowledge.

What Can You Do on Robinhood Chain With Ledger From Day One?

From launch, Ledger Wallet supports the core self-custody actions on Robinhood Chain:

• Send assets on Robinhood Chain, approving each transaction on your signer before it is broadcast.
• Receive assets to an address secured by your Ledger signer.
• Secure your activity on the network, with your private keys held offline throughout.

Ledger’s Security Model Stays the Same Across Every Chain

Robinhood Chain is a new network, and Ledger’s security model does not change to accommodate it. Whether you interact with an established chain or a new Layer 2, your keys stay offline, every transaction is shown in plain language before you sign, and you hold the device that authorizes your assets. 

To use Robinhood Chain through Ledger, update to the latest version of Ledger Wallet.
