much decentralized. such throughput. very node. wow.
Make your own node.
Robinhood Chain lets creators run their own full nodes. We spun one up, synced it, and brought Dogecoin onto Robinhood Chain — the product Vlad sketched in 2022, on rails he ships today.
The product Vlad described? We built it — on our own node.
Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum Nitro chain (ArbOS 61) that posts to Ethereum. Anyone can run a full node. We did. Then we put DOGE on it.
What our box looked like, vibes-only:
- A chunky multi-core machine with enough RAM to not cry
- Fast local NVMe (the docs say several TBs — we nodded solemnly and ordered more disks)
- Docker humming in the background
- Hooks into Ethereum L1 so the chain can finish syncing
We pointed it at mainnet, waited for eth_syncing to say false,
and called it a day. Ports lit up. Blocks rolled. Dogecoin had a new home.
syncing…
This page is a story / LARP, not a runbook. If you actually want to operate a Robinhood Chain node,
use the official docs — we just cosplayed the builder energy and shipped the meme.
