The exchange
What is the Arcus Exchange?
Arcus is a self-custodial decentralized exchange built by the team behind dYdX in partnership with Robinhood Crypto. It lets you trade tokenized stocks, perpetual futures, commodities and indices 24/7 — with zero fees on spot trades and stock tokens backed 1:1 by Robinhood Crypto.
Trade while the world sleeps
Traditional markets close. Arcus doesn't. Access equities and RWAs around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Self-custody by design
Your keys, your assets. Stock tokens are backed 1:1 by Robinhood Crypto and settle on-chain — no custodian holding your funds.
Zero fees on spot
No commissions on spot trades. Up to 50x leverage on perps is rolling out to waitlisted users — the perfect way to farm activity.
The infrastructure
Powered by Robinhood Chain
Arcus runs on Robinhood Chain — an EVM-compatible Layer-2 blockchain built to bring millions of retail users into on-chain finance. It's the settlement layer that makes zero-fee, self-custodial stock trading possible at scale.
- EVM-compatible L2: fast, low-cost transactions with familiar Ethereum tooling and wallets.
- Real-world assets first: purpose-built for tokenized equities, commodities and RWAs — not just crypto.
- Backed by Robinhood Crypto: stock tokens are collateralized 1:1, bridging TradFi liquidity and DeFi rails.
- Early ecosystem: Arcus is a flagship app. Being early on a new chain is historically where the biggest airdrops happen.
The airdrop
How to qualify for the Arcus airdrop
Arcus has confirmed a native token, separate from $DYDX. The official snapshot and allocation haven't been published yet — which means now is the time to build a real on-chain footprint. Follow these 5 steps to position yourself (and get 5% off your fees on the way in).
01
Create your Arcus account
Head to the Arcus Exchange and sign up with Google or by connecting a crypto wallet. Using the button below automatically applies your 5% fee discount.
Create account & claim 5% off →02
Deposit supported assets
Fund your self-custodial account with USDC, USDT, BTC or other supported crypto. You keep custody the whole time — Arcus never holds your keys.
03
Trade tokenized stocks (0% fee)
Open the Spot section and trade any of the 95+ tokenized stocks. Spot is zero-fee, so you can build genuine activity cheaply — real volume is what airdrops reward.
04
Join the perps waitlist
Connect your X account and an EVM wallet, follow @Arcus on X and join the perpetual futures waitlist. This is a core signal for airdrop eligibility.
05
Link dYdX history & refer friends
Link a dYdX v4 wallet to boost your rank (an allocation is reserved for the dYdX community), then share your referral link. More referrals = higher waitlist position.

Questions
Arcus airdrop FAQ
Is the Arcus airdrop confirmed?
The Arcus token is confirmed and will be separate from $DYDX. However, the airdrop snapshot dates, allocation size and exact eligibility rules have not been officially published. Treat any airdrop as speculative — the goal is to position yourself early with real activity, not to expect a guaranteed reward.
How do I qualify for the Arcus airdrop?
Create an Arcus account, deposit supported assets, trade tokenized stocks on the zero-fee spot market, join the perpetuals waitlist (connect X + EVM wallet), link a dYdX v4 wallet to boost your rank, and refer other traders. Follow the 5-step guide above.
What is Robinhood Chain?
Robinhood Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer-2 blockchain designed to bring real-world financial products on-chain for millions of retail users. Arcus is a flagship exchange on it, settling trades of tokenized stocks that are backed 1:1 by Robinhood Crypto.
Who is behind Arcus?
Arcus is built by dYdX Labs — the team behind the dYdX perpetuals exchange — in partnership with Robinhood Crypto, which also invested in the project. That pedigree is a big part of why the community expects a meaningful token event.
How do I actually get the 5% off trading fees?
Just sign up using any of the buttons on this page. The referral link applies a 5% discount on all trading fees to your account automatically — there's no code to enter.
Does it cost anything to farm the airdrop?
Signing up is free and spot trades are zero-fee. You'll need some crypto to deposit and trade with (e.g. USDC), and network gas is minimal on an L2. Only ever trade with funds you can afford to put at risk.
Is this the official Arcus website?
No. This is an independent guide and referral site for the Arcus community. The official exchange is arcus.xyz. See the disclosure in the footer.
