Robinhood Chain Gold Rush Guide: 15 Practical Protocols Worth Paying Attention To

Author: Emiri (Blocmates)

Shenchao Summary: Over the past two years, any asset that rose in the crypto market was automatically labeled a meme coin—rug pulls, dump schemes, influencer scams, insider games, coordinated pump-and-dumps, and the same meme spawning 3,435 identical tickers have left many exhausted. Yet, over the past few weeks, a wave of genuinely “utility-driven” projects has emerged on Robinhood Chain: some have modified Olympus DAO’s reserve model into a hard-coded version while layering on a tokenized stock casino game; others use Uniswap V4 hooks to allow a single dollar to simultaneously earn lending yields and trading fees; still others split a single tokenized stock into two components: “the stock itself” and “future dividends.” The author emphasizes that successful projects and strong price rallies result from interesting technology combined with attention and liquidity—and reminds readers that this is not investment advice.

Robinhood is having a moment—congratulations to all the new millionaires and honorary members of the "six-figure hell" club. This time, I pray you don’t give back that “enough-to-replace-your-wife” money.

Over the past two years, whenever anything in the crypto market rose, everyone’s default reaction was, “Another meme coin”—and we have Solana to thank for that. Still, I think people are starting to get tired of outright rug pulls, endless dumping, influencer scams, insider games, coordinated pump-and-dumps, and 3,435 identical tickers under the same meme.

It’s time to return to a bit more logic.

Although Robinhood naturally features meme coins such as CASHCAT and those paired with stocks to target Wall Street short squeezes, several genuinely interesting "utility-based" projects have been listed over the past few weeks.

Interesting technology + attention + liquidity = the recipe for success and a strong bullish candle.

So, let’s take a look at a few interesting utility projects on Robinhood. Of course, these are not investment recommendations—please do your own research (DYOR) before buying or selling.

This article primarily focuses on newer, lower-market-cap assets, so we won’t spend much time on established players—you’re likely already familiar with them. However, for reassurance, we’ll briefly mention them.

• PONS: A leading native launch platform, with a market cap that once approached $900 million.
• AI: The leading project in the current MemeFi narrative. A meme coin paired with tokenized NVDA, where 80% of the purchase fee is used to buy NVDA shares, stored in the community treasury.
• CASHCAT: Although not a practical project, it's the leading meme coin on Robinhood and worth a mention.

At this point, our Chief Researcher @563defi published an article about two months ago—well before this Robinhood surge—listing several interesting assets worth watching. We highly recommend checking it out.

Some notable projects he mentioned include:

• Index is essentially an on-chain index fund, with slightly additional volatility due to token exposure. Index uses Uniswap V4 hooks to capture a portion of trades from the INDEX/WETH pair and uses those funds to purchase a basket of tokenized stocks, such as NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, etc.—giving your crypto wallet passive exposure to equities.
• SLVR: Although it has retraced 66% from its peak, it was one of the earliest mining protocols on Robinhood. It gamifies mining through a 5x5 grid lottery system.
• Arcus: A joint venture between Robinhood and dYdX. It is an exchange where users can trade tokenized stocks and cryptocurrencies, both spot and futures, and is currently in public testing.
• Rialto: A spot exchange based on propAMM for trading any on-chain assets, offering optimal execution prices.

We mentioned this project in our original article, but we’ve decided to highlight it separately here due to its recent surge in momentum.

Long is a launch platform that pairs meme coins with tokenized stocks. The AI paired with NVDA was launched through Long.

In addition to AI, they also have a standout group of representative tokens:

• BONER: Paired with HIMS stock, it once surged to a historical high of $80 million. Interestingly, the CEO of HIMS actually followed the @bonercoinlong account.
• MEME: Paired with AMC, and Robinhood’s CEO Vlad actually followed the @amemecoinrh account. A meme coin abbreviated as AMC—you know the one.
• NUDES: Paired with SNAP, because Snapchat is known as a platform for sharing private photos, it naturally followed that, according to crypto convention, the most dramatic outcome became reality.
• MOO: Paired with MU (Micron). I think you can see the meme connection—the pronunciation is similar, and when it pumps, it really pumps.

If you're familiar with Olympus DAO's OHM (3,3) era, Netnet will feel very familiar to you.

You can think of Netnet as an improved version of OHM: it has no policy committee; all knobs and rules are hardcoded into the code. It serves as the reserve asset manager for the NET token.

Netnet is the sole minter of NET. Users can purchase NET by paying with USDG through bonds, with the USDG going into the treasury, enabling NET to be sold at a discount.

The vault holds reserves and calculates two critical numbers: RFV (Risk-Free Value) and NAV (Net Asset Value per token).

The reserve asset is USDG; idle USDG earns yield through Morpho, up to a maximum of 70% of the treasury, while the remaining 30% is kept liquid to cover bond redemptions and buybacks.

Above this is a gaming layer that pioneers the trend of "RW-play" (Real-World Play).

Essentially, the underlying layer is an Olympus-style reserve token, with a casino-style game of tokenized stocks built on top as an engine for revenue and attention.

Longbow describes itself as "the credit layer of Robinhood Chain." Essentially, it operates like the classic overcollateralized DeFi money market you're already familiar with.

On Longbow, you can lend USDG to earn interest paid by borrowers; or, more interestingly, you can borrow against any asset from Robinhood—whether it’s a meme coin, an RWA token, or a tokenized stock.

Guys, it's season to add leverage to long positions.

The highlight is the BOW token, which users can stake to earn USDG from protocol revenues, along with loan repayment and deposit bonuses.

Twofold is built around Uniswap V4's DualPool mechanism, essentially allowing the same USD to earn income in two ways: lending yields + DEX trading fees.

The concept is simple:

Traditionally, you have $100, deposit it into a liquidity pool, and earn trading fees. But that’s too boring. If that $100 can do more, why let it sit idle?

When you deposit that $100 into Twofold’s pool, the protocol will let it earn interest in @Steakhousefi’s lending vault.

When someone trades, this $100 will temporarily leave the vault to provide liquidity for the transaction, collect DEX fees, and then immediately return to the lending vault to continue earning interest.

The same dollar, earn more money.

Next is the TWO token. The protocol allocates a portion of the pool's profits to the TWO staking vault, sharing revenue with TWO stakers.

Mancer can be thought of as a DEX aggregator on steroids.

It offers a clean interface paired with a suite of advanced tools to make your on-chain trading experience smoother: limit orders, take-profit and stop-loss, dollar-cost averaging, and many other useful features. What truly makes Mancer stand out is its exceptional routing system, which ensures you always get the best possible execution price.

Next are the Mancer NFT and MANCER token.

Mancer NFTs are priced in MANCER tokens. To qualify for protocol revenue sharing, you need a Mancer NFT in an "activated" state. To activate it, you must burn MANCER tokens.

Quotron combines tokenized stocks, NFTs, and deflationary tokenomics to create a highly intriguing system.

There are a total of 4,444 Quotron NFTs. Each NFT is an independent terminal that continuously accumulates tokenized stocks, generating passive income for users. However, to start earning, the terminal must first be activated.

To hardwire (i.e., create) a Quotron terminal, you must burn 1 QUOTRON token. Once burned, this token will never re-enter circulation.

So you have a choice: buy QUOTRON to trade it, or buy QUOTRON and hold long-term. Burn tokens and earn forever.

Hookr is a launch platform that leverages Uniswap V4 hooks, enabling creators to issue tokens with rules directly embedded in the liquidity pool.

Creators can define rules such as anti-sniping, surge fees, automatic token burning, and varied LP reward structures.

The HOOKR token is linked to this launch platform and serves two distinct purposes.

Transaction fees generated from HOOKR issuance projects paired with ETH are routed into the protocol to repurchase and burn HOOKR. On the other hand, it also allows creators to pair their own tokens with HOOKR to waive protocol fees.

Fables is a DEX built with Uniswap V4 hooks, designed specifically for efficient tokenized stock trading.

Due to the fact that the price, trading volume, and overall activity of tokenized stocks largely depend on whether the stock market is open or closed, Fables has designed a dynamic fee system.

It does not charge the standard 0.3% fee; instead, it increases the fee when the price rises or trading volume surges (to compensate LPs), and lowers it again when activity subsides.

The protocol currently has the PROLOGUE token, which, as the name suggests, is a placeholder token serving as the "prologue" before the official governance token is launched. The true governance token is coming soon, and PROLOGUE holders will be able to exchange it on a 1:1 basis.

Statics is somewhat like an integrated financial infrastructure protocol on Robinhood.

At its core, Statics lets you bundle multiple tokens into a fixed basket, then trade, collateralize, and earn fees on that basket. In theory, you could own a basket containing NVDA, AMC, APPL, and MSFT, and receive a single BasketToken representing this combination.

In addition, there are features such as basket-collateralized borrowing, stablecoins (USDstx), and leveraged risk-sharing products.

STATICS is the staking and reward token of the protocol. You can stake STATICS into a Position NFT and choose which reward asset you'd like to claim.

Statics has 5,555 "Operators" NFTs. These are reserve-backed access and reward NFTs. Each circulating Operator represents a total reserve backing of 180,000 STATICS and can be activated to increase its reward multiplier.

Arrow Finance is another all-in-one DeFi application.

It features a lending module where users can borrow aUSD by collateralizing cryptocurrencies or tokenized stocks; ArrowPad serves as a launchpad; and there’s an aggregator that enables users to swap any assets at the best available price.

The native token is ARROW, and its functionality comes from locking it as veARROW.

veARROW grants you the right to vote on the following:

• What assets can be used as collateral?
• LTV ratio
• Settlement parameters
• Fee
• How to use the surplus buffer
• Oracle Configuration

Shroom serves as a liquidity layer for Robinhood Chain to some extent.

Shroom did not build a new DEX; instead, it provided all liquidity using its native token, SHROOM, pairing it with a wide range of tokenized stocks.

They charge fees to these LPs, and the protocol automatically reinvests the fees to further deepen liquidity.

The ultimate vision is for the SHROOM token to represent the protocol-owned liquidity of all tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain.

In addition, SHROOM holders will regularly receive MU stock rewards; the ultimate goal is to allocate a portion of protocol revenue to repurchase and burn SHROOM tokens.

Stonkbroker is an interesting protocol that is currently gaining strong momentum.

Its core consists of 4,444 ERC-6551 NFTs, each acting as a small on-chain brokerage account with its own wallet.

This brokerage account comes preloaded with randomly allocated tokenized stocks, and you can also use this NFT as collateral for a loan.

To earn more stocks, you need to activate the "Clock In" system, which requires a fee paid in STONKBROKER tokens.

In addition, STONKBROKER is also used for:

• Buy and sell Broker on Anvil
• Pay the activation fee
• Participate in the StonkBrokers ecosystem
• Provide liquidity
• Interact with Clutch's range of financial products

On top of that, there is a comprehensive product portfolio.

• StonkBrokers: A stock wallet with NFT and token binding
• Anvil: NFT AMM / Trading / Lending
• Clock In: Tokenized Stock Rewards
• Safety Deposit Box: LP Lock
• Broker Box: Tokenized Stock Gacha Mechanism
• Stonk Launcher: Token Launch Platform
• Stonk Exchange: vDEX / Trading Platform
• Leverage Machine: Leveraged Products

I know everything so far has been about stocks and DeFi, but of course, we also need some AI.

Orbio lets you access models on OpenRouter using a single API key.

Beyond that, something even more interesting is that Orbio functions like a marketplace for AI credit, allowing users to trade unused credits with others.

However, what really makes things interesting is the ORBIO token.

Holding ORBIO earns you AI credits.

If you hold at least 1,000 ORBIO, you will receive a share of the fees generated from ORBIO transactions. A 1.5% fee is charged on each ORBIO transaction, and 50% of that fee is converted into OpenRouter credits and distributed to eligible holders.

This is equivalent to 0.75% of the trading volume being allocated to AI quotas.

In other words, when people trade ORBIO, transaction fees are generated; 50% of these fees are converted into OpenRouter credits, which ORBIO holders receive and can use to access any model on OpenRouter.

This is a limit order market, paired with a token that converts trading fees into AI computing power subscriptions.

The idea behind Earn is to generate yield on your tokenized stocks. You can hold your stocks while also earning additional income on your holdings.

Take NVDA as an example.

Earn lets you deposit NVDA and USDG into a custodial liquidity vault. The protocol features an intelligent system that continuously directs liquidity to the pool with the highest yield. While you hold your assets, it manages your liquidity on your behalf and generates earnings for you.

Pare is somewhat like a competitor to Pendle, but it runs on Robinhood Chain and instead of splitting tokens, it splits individual tokenized stocks into two components: the stock itself and its future dividends.

Imagine you hold 1 tokenized AAPL share. Typically, this stock token is bundled with:

AAPL's price exposure + dividend exposure

And PARE lets you break it down into:

• pAAPL = the stock itself
• yAAPL = Future dividends

Both can be merged back into 1 AAPL token at any time.

This makes your strategy more flexible. If you want discounted stock exposure, buy pAAPL; if you only want dividend exposure, buy yAAPL.

To ensure this system operates efficiently, Pare has a unique oracle system that distinguishes between "stock splits" and "dividends" on the multiplier for tokenized stocks.

Ultimately, fees generated by the protocol will be used to repurchase and burn PARE, allowing holders to benefit from the protocol’s upside growth.

Everything is evolving at lightning speed again, and we may have missed some interesting assets—please don’t be upset, and feel free to add them below. We’ll include them in future updates.

Most importantly, we’re finally back in action—no more rolling the dice on meme coins manipulated by insider groups. It’s refreshing to see people once again focusing on building real value.

How long will this last? Only time will tell. But for now, users clearly continue to crave this, and that demand appears far from being satisfied.

Wishing you successful trades, thorough research, and utmost safety.
