Free Robinhood Chain RPC Endpoint

Free Robinhood Chain RPC endpoint — Chain ID 4663 (0x1237), no API key needed. Add to MetaMask in seconds. Works with Klik, DeFi, and RWA apps on Robinhood's Arbitrum Orbit L2.

ℹ

Plan allowance update, 2 October 2026: NodeFlare monthly CU bundles increased by 50%. See current pricing and dated provider comparisons.

Robinhood Chain is Robinhood's Arbitrum Orbit L2, built for tokenized real-world assets, with blocks as fast as ~250 ms. It's brand-new — and almost no independent RPC providers serve it yet. NodeFlare runs a dedicated Robinhood Chain node, giving you an alternative to the single official endpoint.

Robinhood Chain RPC URLs

Public endpoint — no API key:

Quick start

Terminal
curl https://rpc.nodeflare.app/robinhood/public \
  -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1}'

Expected: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x1237"} — that's 4663, Robinhood Chain mainnet.

JavaScript
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider(
  'https://rpc.nodeflare.app/robinhood/public'
);
console.log('Robinhood Chain block:', await provider.getBlockNumber());

Explorerrobinhoodchain.blockscout.com

As an Orbit chain, blocks are produced on demand: they can be ~250 ms apart under load, with longer gaps in quiet periods. eth_estimateGas includes the L1 data component, so estimates look higher than pure execution — that's expected Nitro behaviour. Chain-specific notes for every method live in the per-method reference.

Using Robinhood Chain with Klik and DeFi apps

Klik and other DeFi apps on Robinhood Chain require a working RPC endpoint to interact with the network. The NodeFlare public endpoint works directly in MetaMask or any EVM-compatible wallet — paste the URL and Chain ID 4663 (hex 0x1237) using the table below and you're connected with no sign-up required.

Why index it now

The chain's history is tiny — full-range eth_getLogs scans are still practical in a way they never are on mature chains. If you're building RWA tooling or analytics on Robinhood Chain, indexing from genesis today is a genuine early-mover advantage.
