Seamless Layer 2's with Boba Network

In this conversation, the team behind Boba Network shares how their Layer 2 optimistic rollup is helping scale Ethereum by reducing gas fees and improving transaction speed. Built to be EVM-compatible, Boba allows developers to seamlessly deploy Ethereum-based smart contracts while making blockchain more accessible to new users. By bundling transactions and leveraging optimistic execution, the network boosts throughput significantly—aiming to match the scale of traditional systems like Visa. The focus is on removing the technical and financial barriers that keep many from participating in Web3.

The conversation also touches on Boba’s support for hybrid compute, enabling smart contracts to interact with off-chain data in real time. Projects like Dodo, Frax, and AnySwap are already leveraging the platform, and Boba stands out as one of the few Layer 2s with its own DAO and governance token. There's a strong emphasis on privacy, ease of use, and empowering students and developers to experiment, contribute, and build real impact. Whether it's launching DeFi protocols or NFTs, Boba is positioning itself as a flexible and inclusive foundation for the next wave of blockchain applications.
