Funding
All you need is an Ethereum wallet. Robinhood Chain uses the
same 0x… addresses as Ethereum, so the wallet you already have
is the wallet you use here.
Gas is paid in real ETH. There is no separate chain token to buy first. What follows is every way to get that ETH onto chain 4663, easiest first — and the first one is not a bridge at all.
Recommended — start here
Robinhood Chain is a transfer network inside the Robinhood app. Sending ETH to it is an ordinary crypto withdrawal with the network set to Robinhood Chain. No bridge contract, no Ethereum gas fee, no ten-minute wait, nothing to sign.
In the app: your ETH position → Transfer → Send → paste your wallet address → set the network to Robinhood Chain → confirm.
Choose the network deliberately. Every EVM chain uses
the same 0x… address format, so the app will just as
happily send to that same address on plain Ethereum, where it
will sit doing nothing. It is not lost — the same private key controls
that address on every chain — but getting it back means bridging,
which is the whole cost this route avoids.
Not available in New York. Robinhood lists ETH, USDG and CASHCAT on Robinhood Chain as unavailable for transfers there. If that is you, bridge instead.
Ethereum mainnet, or another chain
Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum rollup, so it bridges like any other one. The canonical bridge is the trustless route; the intent-based bridges are faster and charge for the privilege.
The trustless route, and the one Robinhood's own documentation names. Deposits land in about ten minutes.
These front you the money on the far side in seconds and settle it themselves afterwards. Handy if you are coming from a chain other than Ethereum, or you simply do not want to wait.
Relay · Across · Transporter · Stargate · LI.FI
I funded my own deployer this way: 0.02 ETH from Ethereum through LI.FI, which routed it over Across. It landed on chain 4663 three seconds after the Ethereum transaction confirmed, and the whole thing cost about 1.3 cents.
Bridging every last wei out of a wallet leaves you unable to pay for the next transaction on the side you just left. Keep a little back.
Four values, and one thing to watch
Any wallet that lets you add a network takes these. The currency is ETH, not a chain token.

MetaMask and Rabby both can — paste the five values above and you are on the chain. Both are self-custodial and neither asks who you are.
Phantom is an excellent wallet — self-custodial, no KYC, and it will swap and bridge from inside the wallet, which makes it a genuinely good place to start if you are coming from Solana or holding nothing yet.
But Phantom cannot add a custom network, and Robinhood Chain is not on its supported list. Phantom documents this itself, and it is why they publish a guide on recovering tokens sent to unsupported networks. So use Phantom to get ETH if you like it — then hold and spend that ETH on 4663 in MetaMask or Rabby. Your funds are never stuck either way: the same seed phrase gives you the same address in both.
Money arriving from a bridge shows up as an internal transaction — a contract moved it to you, rather than you sending anything. If you have never sent from that address, your transaction count is zero and most wallets and explorer views will look empty while the balance is genuinely there. Check the balance, not the list.
And that is the design, not a policy
Withdrawing to Ethereum through the canonical bridge is three steps: start it on 4663, wait out the seven-day challenge period, then claim it on Ethereum. That window is Arbitrum's fraud-proof system doing its job. It is not something Robinhood chose and no interface can shorten it.
The intent-based bridges above will hand you the money on the other side in seconds and sit out the seven days themselves. That is what their fee buys.
Money you bring here should be money you intend to leave here for a while. Bring what you plan to spend plus some headroom, rather than a balance you might want back on Thursday. Given a contract deploy costs about ten cents, that number is usually small.
Once there is ETH at your address on 4663 you can do everything the chain does — deploy contracts, mint, trade — for fractions of a cent. The guide has every number and where it came from, and the front page lists what is already deployed.
Nothing on this page is financial advice. It is how the plumbing works.
