How Robinhood Wallet Works

The Robinhood app allows users to hold the private keys to their crypto on various networks like Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Dogecoin.

It also enables them to store, manage, send, and receive crypto, and even swap them directly within the app using 0x and LI.FI protocols. To fund their wallets, users are allowed to transfer from a Robinhood account, another wallet, or an exchange.
