Bridge from Base to Robinhood Chain
Moving funds from Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 to Robinhood Chain, Robinhood's Ethereum Layer 2, takes one transaction on Base: you deposit, a relayer delivers on Robinhood Chain within minutes, and you keep custody the whole time.
What you need
- An EVM wallet with funds on Base: ETH, USDC, WETH.
- ETH on Base for the deposit transaction (a few cents on Layer 2s, more on Ethereum mainnet).
- Nothing on Robinhood Chain in advance: bridged ETH arrives as ETH, which pays gas on Robinhood Chain.
How to bridge from Base to Robinhood Chain
- Open the bridge with Base selected. Open RobinSwap in bridge mode with Base as the source and Robinhood Chain as the destination. Connect MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet or another EVM wallet that holds your funds on Base.
- Choose the asset and amount. Pick the token you hold on Base (ETH, USDC, WETH) and enter the amount. The quote shows what arrives on Robinhood Chain, the network cost and the RobinSwap fee before you sign anything.
- Confirm on Base. Your wallet switches to Base if needed and asks you to sign one deposit transaction (plus a token approval for ERC-20s). Gas for this step is paid in ETH on Base.
- Receive on Robinhood Chain. Once the deposit confirms, the transfer fills on Robinhood Chain, usually within seconds to a few minutes. The app shows the status live; check the receiving address on the Robinhood Chain explorer if you want to double-check.

Frequently asked questions
How long does bridging from Base to Robinhood Chain take?
Typically seconds to a few minutes after your deposit transaction confirms on Base. Ethereum mainnet deposits wait for block confirmations, so transfers from Ethereum take longer than from Layer 2 networks.
What does it cost to bridge from Base to Robinhood Chain?
Three things: gas on Base (paid in ETH), the network cost of delivering funds on Robinhood Chain, and one flat 0.5% RobinSwap fee. Every amount is listed in the quote before you confirm; there is no hidden spread.
Which assets can I bridge from Base to Robinhood Chain?
Native gas tokens and major stablecoins are the common route: ETH, USDC, WETH. Other tokens are quoted when a route exists; if a token cannot be bridged directly, bridge ETH or USDC and swap on Robinhood Chain.
Do I need ETH on Robinhood Chain before I bridge?
No. Bridging ETH delivers ETH on Robinhood Chain, which is also its gas token, so you can swap right away. If you bridge a stablecoin only, bridge a little ETH too so you can pay gas on Robinhood Chain.
Is the Base to Robinhood Chain bridge safe?
RobinSwap is non-custodial: you sign a single deposit in your own wallet, the transfer is filled by a relayer network and status is verifiable on both explorers (basescan.org and robinhoodchain.blockscout.com). Never share seed phrases; RobinSwap never asks you to sign messages.
