Summary
Arcus Perps is a perpetual futures and tokenized-stock decentralized exchange built by the dYdX team, backed by an undisclosed Robinhood Crypto investment, and operating on Robinhood Chain (an Arbitrum-based layer 2). In November 2026 the protocol lost approximately $2.23 million to an accounting bug in its sub-account transfer logic, which Arcus covered from its own treasury without confirming recovery of the funds or publishing a full technical post-mortem. As of this writing, the exact mechanics of the bug, whether the withdrawal was a deliberate exploit, and whether further user funds remain exposed to similar risk are unresolved.
