Why did Robinhood choose Arbitrum?
Written by: Haotian
A brief interpretation of the news about @RobinhoodApp planning to build layer2 on Arbitrum:
1) From a technical perspective, Robinhood's choice to align with Arbitrum's Nitro is not fundamentally different from Coinbase's alignment with Optimism's OP Stack. However, Base's performance has already proven a rule: the success of a tech stack does not equate to the success of the parent chain.
The rise of Base is more a result of Coinbase's brand effect + compliance resources + user traffic, which in some ways provides guidance for Robinhood's presence in Arbitrum.
