what's Boba Network?
Boba Network is an any-to-any Layer 2 scaling solution built on Ethereum as an optimistic rollup. It reduces transaction costs and increases throughput while maintaining Ethereum's security through fraud proofs. A key innovation is HybridCompute technology, which enables smart contracts to offload intensive computations to trusted off-chain providers (like AWS Lambda or GPU services) while keeping state transitions verifiable on-chain. The network supports seamless bridging and multichain operations, including deployments on BNB Chain as BobaBNB. The governance token BOBA powers the Boba DAO, allowing holders to vote on proposals, stake for rewards, and participate in fee mechanisms.
