How the Ethereum route works
Ethereum and Robinhood Chain are both EVM networks, which makes this the most familiar route: the wallet that signs can also receive. Connect MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet or Rabby, pick ETH, USDC or USDT, and the interface fetches a live quote for an intent-based route provided via Relay — you deposit on Ethereum mainnet, a filler delivers on Robinhood Chain, typically without waiting for long confirmation chains. By default the recipient is the connected wallet's own address on Robinhood Chain; you can set a different EVM recipient, and the full address is shown for confirmation before it is used. Robinhood Chain is itself an Ethereum Layer 2 built with Arbitrum technology, and for ETH a canonical bridge path exists independently of this interface; the intent-based routes quoted here are typically much faster, liquidity permitting.
Wallet confirmations: when one, when two
Sending native ETH takes a single wallet confirmation — the deposit itself. Sending USDC or USDT can take two: ERC-20 tokens require an approval before a contract can move them, so your wallet may first ask you to confirm an approval and then the deposit. Both prompts come from your own wallet, and nothing moves until the deposit is confirmed. If you approve but reject the second step, no funds have left — only the approval gas was spent. The widget states each step as it happens, so the number of confirmations is never a surprise.
What you receive on Robinhood Chain
ETH, for every asset on this route today. ETH arrives as ETH — same asset, new network. USDC and USDT are converted and delivered as ETH; the quote shows the conversion rate, price impact and minimum received before you sign. USDG may become a selectable output in a future update. ETH is also the gas token on Robinhood Chain, so whatever you bridge arrives ready to use.
Fees and timing on this route
The quote itemizes Ethereum gas, the route's bridge cost, and price impact where a swap is involved. The line to watch here is gas: Ethereum mainnet fees are the highest of the three source networks and they do not scale down with the amount — on small transfers, L1 gas can be a large share of the total cost, and the quote is where that trade-off becomes visible. If the same funds exist on Base, bridging from there is usually cheaper. As a reference point, our automated checks on this route — native ETH and stablecoin test amounts alike — consistently return quotes with estimated times of about 2 seconds. Exact rates move with liquidity and pricing: your live quote is the number that matters, and the supported-networks table on the homepage reflects the latest checks.
If something looks wrong
A transaction stuck in your wallet queue is usually a gas issue on Ethereum's side — most wallets offer a speed-up that re-submits with higher gas. If the bridge shows pending past the estimate, check the deposit transaction on Etherscan first: if it failed, the transfer never started and only gas was spent; if it confirmed, watch the recipient address at robinhoodchain.blockscout.com — delivery is normally the fast half of the route. A balance that does not appear in the wallet usually means Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663, RPC https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com) has not been added yet. The explorer is the ground truth; keep your transaction hash at hand.
How this page is verified
Availability and sample quotes come from automated probes against the live route, run for documented test amounts — the supported-networks table on the homepage reflects them. Verified end-to-end transfer evidence for this route (transaction hashes, measured delivery times, observed confirmation sequences for ERC-20 inputs) will be published here once our monitored canary transfers complete, before this page is promoted in search.
