According to Robinhood’s 42-page filing, the RRE platform will be built on a hybrid blockchain architecture combining Solana and Base networks. It will use off-chain order matching paired with on-chain settlement, with the aim of reducing transaction latency and improving scalability. Performance targets include a sub-10 microsecond matching speed and a throughput capacity of up to 30,000 transactions per second.
