# The Robinhood Chain & Tokenized Stocks

Liquidex is built on the **Robinhood Chain** — an Arbitrum Orbit Layer 2 network engineered for speed and efficiency.

***

## The Robinhood Chain (Chain ID 4663)

| Property       | Detail                                   |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| **Network**    | Arbitrum Orbit L2                        |
| **Chain ID**   | `4663`                                   |
| **Block time** | \~**100ms** — near-instant confirmations |
| **Gas**        | Paid in **ETH**                          |

The network hosts major DeFi infrastructure — including **Uniswap v2/v3/v4** and **UniswapX** — with Uniswap holding the overwhelming majority of tokenized-stock liquidity.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Why this matters:** fast blocks mean your deposits, withdrawals, and rebalances execute quickly and reliably.
{% endhint %}

***

## Tokenized Stocks

The underlying assets in Liquidex indexes are **Tokenized Stocks**:

* Standard **ERC-20** tokens (18 decimals) — e.g. `NVDA`, `AAPL`, `MSFT`
* Issued by **Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Ltd**
* **Permissioned assets** — available to **non-US users only**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Eligibility:** because these are permissioned assets, you must be eligible to hold them under the regulations of your jurisdiction.
{% endhint %}

***

## USDG — the quote token

**USDG** (6 decimals) is the dominant RWA quote token on the chain and the base asset for Liquidex vaults.

**The flow is simple:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Deposit USDG

You deposit **USDG** into the index vault.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Convert to stock tokens

The protocol converts your USDG into the underlying **stock tokens** of your chosen index basket.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Position built

Your diversified liquidity position is constructed automatically.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="success" %}
USDG in, a diversified liquidity position out. One deposit, fully diversified across real-world assets.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.liquidex.sh/the-robinhood-chain-and-tokenized-stocks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
