Mainnet Update
For those who’ve been asking, we’re not shipping today.
The protocol is built and the markets are configured, but we’re going through a few extra steps to finalize the audit with @sherlockdefi to ensure that users can feel 100% confident trusting us with live collateral.
We don’t expect the delay to be long, and we promise that the finished experience will be worth the wait.
We’ll post a confirmed date here as soon as we’re ready.
Thanks for sticking with us and for continuing to build on Robinhood Chain.
Mainnet is imminent and it's only the beginning. Arrow scales with the Robinhood ecosystem.
190+ stocks. 120 countries. 100M transactions in a month. Every asset added on RH is a potential market on Arrow.
$WLD, $JTO, $BILL all landed recently. The list keeps getting longer, and it isn't slowing down.
More assets → more collateral → more liquidity unlocked without selling a thing.
$2.5B in tokenized equity is sitting idle right now. We're building the layer that puts it to work.
Vlad's right that self-custody is the real unlock. Portability gets the headlines, but the interesting part is what you can do with an asset once it's actually in your wallet.
The obvious thing is borrow against it. That's how every mature asset class works - you own something, you can raise cash against it without selling it. Stock Tokens have been missing that layer, and it's not because nobody wants it.
So we built it. Arrow: deposit AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, SPY, PLTR - 24 markets - mint aUSD against them, keep the shares.
On Robinhood Chain, where they already live. Mainnet soon.
Pending final changes being approved by the team at @sherlockdefi, Arrow officially goes live on mainnet August 21st.
At launch, users will be able to borrow against:
• @LidoFinance wstETH
• @maplefinance syrupUSDG
• AAPL
• NVDA
• SpaceX
• A growing range of Tier 1 and Tier 2 tokenized equities
August 21st marks the next phase of Arrow: bringing onchain credit to some of the highest-quality collateral available on Robinhood Chain.
Borrow against your portfolio. earn yield while Keeping your exposure. Unlock liquidity.
Final mainnet LTVs and borrow rates coming soon.
PLTR is up ~48% this month. You're not selling it. At Arrow mainnet, you don't have to.
Deposit it, mint aUSD, and put liquidity to work without touching the position. Know your liquidation price before you size up.
24 markets. Mainnet coming soon.
Markets reward conviction.
The problem is that conviction often comes at the expense of flexibility.
When your capital is locked inside your portfolio, every new opportunity forces the same decision: sell your winners or let the opportunity pass.
Arrow Finance is building a third option.
Deposit crypto, stablecoins, or native Stock Tokens into an overcollateralized debt position and mint aUSD.
Keep your long-term exposure while unlocking capital for your next investment.
Capital should compound.
Collateral should compound too.
This is the Arrow way.

.@ArrowFinanceio's positioning itself as the liquidity layer for Robinhood Chain's entire tokenized ecosystem...
Here's the mechanism @dimes_xyz walked through:
Right now, holding a tokenized stock is a dead end. You get upside exposure, but the asset just sits there. Arrow unlocks that further. Deposit tokenized $AAPL as collateral, borrow against it, and either compound your position or deploy into other DeFi activity all without triggering a taxable event you'd hit by selling.
The borrowing runs through Arrow's native stablecoin, $AUSD. Stablecoin collateral gets you up to 90%+ LTV; tokenized equities land closer to 55%, reflecting the added volatility risk. $AUSD mints on deposit and burns on repayment.
On the supply side, Arrow itself is currently the primary collateral provider, with third-party liquidity providers being brought in over time to deepen the pools.
The bet: turn tokenized equities from static holdings into productive collateral.

14:43 - A CDP isn't easy to fork (oracles for every tokenized equity, custom LTVs), unlike the flood of launchpads
21:36 - The core product
23:36 - Mechanics: native over-collateralized stablecoin, mint/burn on deposit/withdraw, built from scratch (not white-labeled)

We’re wrapping up our audit with @sherlockdefi ahead of mainnet.
Security comes first, and we’re excited to be nearing the finish line.
Stay tuned our Mainnet release date will be announced soon.
We’re excited to announce our partnership with VEX.
@ProjectVEXai will program its agent to interact directly with Arrow, enabling automated borrowing and compounding strategies through the protocol.
Deposit collateral. Borrow through Arrow. Deploy liquidity into yield opportunities. Compound automatically.
This is an early look at where we believe DeFi is heading: autonomous agents managing capital across on-chain financial infrastructure, with Arrow serving as the borrowing layer.
More on the integration soon.
We’re excited to announce a partnership between Arrow and Agama, bringing structured yield to tokenized equity collateral on Robinhood Chain.
The thesis is simple: borrowing against your portfolio shouldn’t mean your collateral stops working.
Through a phased integration, Arrow will be able to deploy eligible tokenized equity collateral into Agama’s structured vaults, allowing collateral to generate additional yield while it continues backing positions within the Arrow ecosystem.
The collaboration will expand over time:
Productive collateral: Eligible Arrow collateral can be deployed into Agama vaults to generate yield.
Co-branded vaults: Arrow and Agama will develop dedicated vault strategies combining both ecosystems.
aUSD integration: Agama will add aUSD as a supported deposit asset across eligible vaults.
Points & incentives: Arrow points and additional incentives can be layered on top of vault participation to accelerate adoption and TVL.
@Agamafinance is building the structured products layer for onchain finance, combining diversified onchain yield with options strategies to create defined-outcome exposure to familiar assets such as tokenized stocks, indices, ETFs, and commodities.
Together, we’re working toward a future where tokenized equities aren’t simply assets you hold.
Hold them. Borrow against them. Earn on them. Keep your exposure.
Imagine taking out a loan that repays itself over time.
With Arrow, yield generated by productive collateral can be directed toward paying down aUSD debt automatically.
As the debt decreases, borrowing capacity opens back up, all while you maintain exposure to the underlying asset.
Borrow. Earn. Repay. Unlock more liquidity.
Join Ash, former Robinhood and Strategic Advisor to Arrow, and Adam, Head of BD at Arrow, on @MCGlive this Tuesday at 12:30 PM EST.
Hosted by @DineroDom0, @mynt_josh and @ChillTRD, MCG Live has featured some of the largest protocols in DeFi.
We’ll be diving into Arrow’s product suite, tokenized equities, RWAs, our vision for Robinhood Chain, and dropping some alpha on mainnet 🤫
See you Tuesday.
Arrow × @MetaLend_DeFi 🤝
Our first compounding integration is launching directly inside the Arrow UI.
Post-mainnet, users will be able to:
Deposit collateral → mint aUSD → access @Morpho and @aave lending opportunities powered by MetaLend to earn yield or rehypothecate excess collateral.
One interface. One seamless path from borrowing to yield.
