USDG on Robinhood Chain: the stablecoin, how to get it and how to use it

What USDG is, why it matters on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663), how to bridge in from Ethereum or Solana, and how to swap it without falling for a fake copy.

USDG, the Global Dollar, is a dollar stablecoin issued by Paxos. On Robinhood Chain it gives traders a place to park value between trades without leaving the chain, and a base to swap into new tokens. Here is what to know before you hold it.

What is a stablecoin

A stablecoin is a token designed to track the value of a currency, here the US dollar. It lets you hold a dollar balance on chain, in your own wallet, and move it at the speed of a transaction. A stablecoin is only as good as its issuer and its reserves: read the issuer's own disclosures.

Why USDG on Robinhood Chain

• Take profit after a trade without sending funds back to another chain.
• Keep a dollar balance ready for the next launch in the Heat.
• Gas is still paid in ETH: keep a little ETH next to your USDG.

How to get USDG

Bridge it in on trnch.fun/bridge: from Ethereum, Base or Arbitrum, or from Solana with Phantom, Solflare or Backpack, sending SOL, USDC or USDT and receiving USDG on Robinhood Chain. Already on Robinhood Chain? Swap ETH to USDG on Trnch, quoted across KyberSwap, 1inch, Uniswap, LI.FI and Sushi.

Beware of fake USDG

Anyone can deploy a token named USDG. Copies borrow the ticker, sometimes the name of the issuer, and sit in thin pools that cannot be sold at a dollar. The ticker proves nothing: check the contract address against the issuer's official list before you swap or accept a payment, and look it up on the explorer at robinhoodchain.blockscout.com.
