What is Boba Network (BOBA) crypto?

The Boba Network, created by the Enya team, one of the core contributors to the OMG Foundation, is a Layer 2 Ethereum scaling and augmenting solution.

Boba is the next-gen Ethereum L2 optimistic rollup scaling solution that decreases gas fees while improving transaction throughput and extending the abilities of smart contracts.

It provides fast exits supported by community-led liquidity pools while shrinking the optimistic rollup exit period from seven days to only a few minutes. Additionally, it gives the LPs incentivized yield farming opportunities.

Boba announced that it had executed single-token gas payments in the form of a BOBA token. In addition, it would provide a 25% discount on gas fees for users that choose to pay in BOBA.

This move would widen the BOBA token's use as a fee token for all its services. However, users can still choose to use ETH for gas payments. It scales the Ethereum network with faster transactions and cheaper fees (up to 60X lower). These developments may have attracted investors' attention to the project.
