Why Robinhood L2
Tilt Protocol deploys on Robinhood L2, an Arbitrum Orbit chain purpose-built for real-world asset (RWA) trading. This isn’t an arbitrary chain choice — Robinhood L2 uniquely enables what Tilt needs.
The RWA Advantage
Robinhood is pioneering the tokenization of real-world assets. Their L2 chain provides:
- Tokenized stocks and ETFs — 2,000+ real-world assets represented as ERC-20 tokens
- Institutional liquidity — backed by Robinhood’s market-making infrastructure
- Regulatory alignment — built by a regulated broker-dealer with compliance in mind
- Bridged settlement — on-chain trading with off-chain settlement against real markets
For Tilt, this means fund managers can build portfolios of real stocks (not synthetic derivatives) with real liquidity — something no other L2 offers today.

Why This Matters for Tilt
Micro-Strategies Are Viable
On Ethereum mainnet, a single swap costs 5−50ingas.Avaultrebalancetouching10assetswouldcost50-500. On Robinhood L2, the same rebalance costs < $0.10 total. This makes:
- Small fund sizes practical (even $100 funds work)
- Frequent rebalancing affordable
- Complex multi-asset strategies economical
Batch Rebalancing
Tilt vaults can execute 10-30 simultaneous swaps in a single rebalance transaction. On L1, this would be prohibitively expensive. On Robinhood L2, it’s routine.
Real-Time Strategy Execution
With ~250ms finality, AI trading agents can react to market signals in near-real-time. No waiting for block confirmations. No MEV frontrunning concerns.
