Boba deployment on Fantom

Boba launched its third Boba deployment on Fantom in June 2022. The EVM-compatibility of Boba has allowed us to expand our scalability value proposition beyond Ethereum, and as such, we are the first scaling infrastructure to scale multiple blockchains.

For Web3 developers, this means that we are making it super easy to build your next dApp or game with all the benefits that Fantom brings to the table, such as: high performance, scalability, and low cost. As an added benefit for using Boba Opera, Fantom developers will be able to access Hybrid Compute, one of Boba’s flagship products. Leveraging the power of real-world data and off-chain compute, developers can create richer applications with greater utility.

About Fantom

Fantom was launched in January 2022. It’s a smart contract-enabled blockchain platform aiming to address the decentralization, security and scalability tradeoffs many blockchains face. Fantom aims to overcome these tradeoffs and make improvements across all three with its innovative proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism known as Lachesis.

Adding funds on Boba Opera

Boba lives inside of Fantom as a series of smart contracts, known as a layer 2 scaling solution. In order to move assets into or out of Boba you have to use a blockchain bridge. Meaning you have to complete a transaction to move assets between different networks, known as a cross-chain transaction. You can either use the Boba bridge or a third party bridge. Learn more about how blockchain bridges work and follow our step-by-step bridge video.
