Robinhood is granting a pledge of 1 million dollars to devs based on the 2026 Arbitrum Open House. The program hosts online build-athons around the world in cities such as New York, Dubai, London, and Singapore and face-to-face founder events.
The company is interested in attracting builders who are interested in trying tokenized stocks, digital assets and decentralized finance services. The chain is also designed more as an institutional adoption than a retail tinkering with the infrastructure integrations and compliance-oriented design.
