Boba Network, a multichain layer 2 built on the OP Stack and designed for intelligent hybrid applications enabled by HybridCompute, has joined the Superchain ecosystem, a horizontally scalable network of chains that share security, a communication layer, and an open-source development stack. This strategic move marks a pivotal milestone in Boba Network’s journey to enhance blockchain interoperability and scalability, unlocking new possibilities for decentralized applications (DApps) and real-world connectivity. By joining the Superchain, Boba Network ramps up its commitment to a decentralized, open, and accessible blockchain landscape.
The Superchain ecosystem embodies a collaborative vision for the future of blockchain technology. It is designed to create a unified web of layer-2 solutions (L2s) that work together to scale Ethereum and other blockchains without compromising decentralization, security, and user-centric design. Boba Network’s decision to integrate into this ecosystem is a natural progression in its mission to build an accessible and interoperable blockchain space for all.
One of the major contributions from Boba Network to the Superchain Ecosystem is its development work on Erigon as its execution client, further strengthening the network’s resilience and fostering innovation and creativity without abandoning Ethereum’s core engineering values. Additionally, Boba Network has open-sourced a method to configure L2 OP Stack chains to use custom gas tokens, including the capability to bridge ETH, based on Optimism’s Custom Fee Token.
Alan Chiu, CEO of Enya Labs, a core contributor to Boba Network: “The Superchain supercharges Boba Network’s mission to be the home of intelligent hybrid applications that span use cases such as generative AI, DeFi, gaming, and real-world assets (RWA). We are excited to collaborate with the Optimism team to continue contributing to Boba Network and empowering developers with the resources they need to thrive on the network and in the Superchain ecosystem such as the Boba Liftoff Accelerator.”
“The Superchain ecosystem is home to visionary builders at the forefront of blockchain innovation, and we’re pleased to welcome Boba Network into the fold. Boba’s unique hybrid approach brings new potential for smarter applications and broader adoption, and we look forward to their growth on the OP Stack,” said Smit Vachhani, Business Development Lead at Optimism Unlimited
