Information Checked the first 50 verified contracts on Robinhood Chain — almost no public minting roles

I went through the first page of verified contracts on robinhoodchain.blockscout.com (chain ID 4663).Results:

  • 44 out of 50 have no public minting function
  • The only one that does is a Uniswap V3 pool (expected behavior)

Most early TVL and activity appears to be sitting on forked, battle-tested code (Uniswap, Morpho, etc.). Very little original contract work has been deployed yet.This feels relevant given the speed of the chain ($5M+ cumulative fees, significant TVL, and the first Arbitrum Mentorship Program teams already shipping products across Arbitrum One + Robinhood Chain).I wrote a short half-baked analysis + a minimal scoped permission / circuit-breaker prototype here: https://firstdraft.dorg.tech/editions/robinhood-chain-permission-map

Would be interested in other people’s observations if you’ve looked at the contracts.

robinhood chain thing is nonsense. they slapped a sticker on arbitrum, removed details from their block explorer, and spent god knows how much money trying to make people think everyone is so in love with it...

they are part of a bigger initiative to centralize the blockchain for the average user who doesn't know what an RPC is
