Robinhood Chain explorers, compared.

Published 2026-10-10 · HoodLock Team

Three months after mainnet, Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663) has gone from one block explorer to several, plus a crop of lookalike sites. They do not all show the same things, and only some of them are run by the companies their names suggest. This guide compares the ones worth using, as checked on October 10, 2026, and then shows the job most people open an explorer for on a young chain: checking whether a token's lock is real.

Short answer. Blockscout is the explorer Robinhood's own docs list for mainnet, and it is the safest default. robin.etherscan.io is Etherscan's explorer for the chain. Arkham is for following wallets and entities, BlockSec Phalcon for taking a single transaction apart. Any other "RobinScan" domain is not Etherscan.

Blockscout: the official explorer

Robinhood's connection docs list robinhoodchain.blockscout.com as the mainnet block explorer, and Blockscout's documentation says it has run the chain's explorer from block one. It is also the explorer every HoodLock proof page links to.

What it gives you that matters for safety checks:

If you only bookmark one explorer, make it this one. Our guide to verifying a token contract on Blockscout goes through the contract tab in detail.

Etherscan, and the RobinScan confusion

For the first ten weeks after launch, Etherscan did not cover Robinhood Chain, and several community sites filled the gap under the name "RobinScan". Crypto Briefing reported that sites at robinscan.io, robinscan.xyz and robinscan.site offered read-only exploration and disclaimed any affiliation with Etherscan or Robinhood.

On September 14, 2026, Etherscan launched its own explorer for the chain at robin.etherscan.io, also branded RobinScan. We confirmed on October 10, 2026 that it is live, that Etherscan's API v2 chain list includes chain id 4663 pointing to it, and that it shows HoodLock's locker contract as verified.

The rule that keeps you safe: the only Etherscan-run explorer for Robinhood Chain is the subdomain robin.etherscan.io. A site at any other "robinscan" domain is not Etherscan, whatever its logo says. When we checked, robinscan.site was a parked domain. Type the address yourself rather than following a link from a chat or an ad, and never connect a wallet to an explorer you reached that way.

Arkham: who is behind an address

Arkham added Robinhood Chain to its multi-chain explorer. Its strength is labels: address and entity pages with historical balances, top counterparties and clustered entities, plus custom alerts for large transfers and a Visualizer that maps fund flows between addresses. Use it to answer "where did the deployer's ETH come from" or "has this wallet rugged before", not to read a contract's source.

BlockSec Phalcon: what one transaction did

BlockSec's Phalcon explorer has a Robinhood Chain page focused on single transactions: the full invocation flow in call order, fund flow across contracts, before-and-after balance changes for every address, and simulation under the chain's execution rules. It is the tool for working out exactly what happened in a strange transaction, such as a sell that returned nothing or a liquidity removal you did not expect.

HoodScan and other independent explorers

HoodScan (hood-chain.com) is an independent explorer with block, transaction, token and wallet pages and token discovery views such as trending and new tokens. Its homepage says its data is indexed from Blockscout, so for verification work go to the source. Other projects have announced explorers for the chain too; one, 4663scan, publishes its code on GitHub, but its domain did not resolve when we checked on October 10, 2026. Treat any explorer you have not seen named in Robinhood's docs or by its operator's own channels as a convenience view, not as evidence.

How to verify a token lock or LP lock on an explorer

This is the check that separates a real lock from a screenshot. You need the token's contract address and about five minutes on Blockscout. The steps work on Etherscan's explorer too.

1. A token lock (team, treasury or v2 LP tokens)

  1. Open the token on Blockscout and go to its Holders tab. A locked balance sits in the locker contract's address, not in a wallet. For a Uniswap v2 LP lock, open the pair contract instead, because the pair is the LP token.
  2. Click the locker address and open its Contract tab. The source should be verified. If it is not, you are trusting a claim about a claim.
  3. Under Read contract, look up the lock. On HoodLock's token locker that is locksByToken(token) to list lock ids, then getLock(id) for the owner, amount and unlock time, and isUnlocked(id) to see whether it can already be withdrawn.
  4. Compare the locked amount with the total supply (or total LP supply) to get the share, and read the unlock time as a date.

2. A Uniswap v3 or v4 liquidity lock

  1. Positions on v3 and v4 are NFTs. On Robinhood Chain they are minted by the Uniswap v3 NonfungiblePositionManager 0x73991a25C818Bf1f1128dEAaB1492D45638DE0D3 and the Uniswap v4 PositionManager 0x58daec3116aae6D93017bAAea7749052E8a04fA7.
  2. Find the position's token id (from the pool's liquidity events, the project's lock page or a locker's proof page) and open that NFT instance on Blockscout. Its owner is the answer: a wallet means unlocked, a locker contract means locked by that contract's rules.
  3. If the owner is HoodLock's Liquidity Locker, call lockIdOf(manager, tokenId) under Read contract. A non-zero id is an active lock, and getLock(id) returns the owner and unlockTime.
  4. If the owner is a launchpad contract, read its verified source for a withdraw or release function. Pons graduation positions, for example, are held by a contract with none, which is explained on Is Pons liquidity locked?

3. What to conclude

A lock is real when three things hold: the balance or NFT is in a contract with verified source, that contract has no admin path to move it, and the unlock date has not passed. The HoodLock docs page on how to verify a lock adds the checks people skip, such as making sure the lock is on the token you are actually buying and not a lookalike.

If you would rather not read contracts, the liquidity lock checker and the token lock checker do these reads for HoodLock locks and link each record to its proof page and the block explorer, so you can confirm it. How to check if liquidity is locked covers pools locked elsewhere or burned.

Common questions

What is the official Robinhood Chain block explorer?

Blockscout, at robinhoodchain.blockscout.com. It is the mainnet explorer listed in Robinhood's own connection docs, and it has indexed the chain since its first block.

Does Etherscan support Robinhood Chain?

Yes, since September 14, 2026. Etherscan's explorer for the chain is robin.etherscan.io, branded RobinScan, and Etherscan's API v2 lists chain id 4663. Before that date Etherscan did not cover the chain.

Are RobinScan sites official?

Only robin.etherscan.io is run by Etherscan. Community sites at domains such as robinscan.io, robinscan.xyz and robinscan.site are not affiliated with Etherscan or Robinhood. Type the explorer address yourself and never connect a wallet to an explorer reached from a chat link.

Which explorer is best for checking if liquidity is locked?

Blockscout, because it shows token holders for v2 LP tokens, the owner of each Uniswap v3 and v4 position NFT, and verified contract source with a Read contract tab for the locker.

How do I verify a lock on Blockscout?

For a token or v2 LP lock, find the locker address in the token's holders, confirm the locker's source is verified, and read the lock's amount and unlock time from its Read contract tab. For a v3 or v4 position, open the position NFT and check that its owner is a locker contract, then read the lock from that contract.

What is Arkham useful for on Robinhood Chain?

Following money and identities: entity labels, historical balances, counterparties, alerts on large transfers and a visual map of fund flows. It is not the tool for reading a contract's source.
