Boba BNB is Boba Network’s Optimistic Rollup L2 aligned with BNB Chain, running on mainnet with BOBA as the native currency and full EVM compatibility. It powers low-cost DeFi, GameFi, NFT mints, micropayments, and cross-chain transfers, and enables Hybrid Compute use cases where contracts securely call Web2/AI APIs. Typical performance: ~2s block time, >100 TPS sustained, and sub-cent average gas fees (often 10–100x cheaper than BNB Chain L1).
Boba BNB stands out with Hybrid Compute, letting smart contracts natively call off-chain APIs and high-performance compute without complex oracle frameworks—ideal for data-rich or AI-enhanced dApps. It combines fast, low-cost execution (~2s blocks, <$0.01 gas, >100 TPS) with a multi-chain footprint across Boba’s ecosystems and supports fast-exit liquidity bridges to mitigate the ~7-day optimistic withdrawal window. This delivers higher throughput and lower fees than L1 BNB Chain while preserving EVM tooling and the security model of an optimistic rollup.
