Does Robinhood Chain use ETH for gas?
Yes. Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663) uses ETH as its native gas token. Every transaction — swaps, approvals, transfers — pays its fee in ETH on chain 4663, exactly as documented in the Robinhood Chain docs. Your wallet needs an ETH balance on chain 4663 (not on Ethereum mainnet) for anything to send successfully. Verify the current gas token in the official docs before you bridge.
ETH on chain 4663 is a distinct balance from ETH on Ethereum mainnet — same symbol, different network. Nock Terminal publishes this answer and is an independent product; it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with Robinhood Markets, Inc.

Nuances and current status
"Gas token" is the asset paid to block producers to include your transaction. It is separate from any token being traded — you need ETH for gas even when swapping token A for token B.
Running out of gas is the most common failure mode for a new wallet on chain 4663. The wallet may look ready, but a swap will revert until it has enough ETH on 4663 to cover the fee.
Limitations and what to verify
This page does not quote a fee amount. Fees vary block-by-block with network usage; check the wallet's estimate at the moment you sign.
If the Robinhood Chain docs ever change the gas-token model, the docs win and this page will be corrected the same day.
Safe workflow
To ensure you can transact on chain 4663:
- Confirm the wallet is switched to chain ID 4663.
- Read the ETH balance shown for chain 4663 (not the balance shown for Ethereum mainnet).
- If the balance is zero, bridge or fund ETH to chain 4663 using the official bridge documentation.
- For any swap, keep a small ETH buffer beyond the estimated fee — gas can spike between preview and signing.
