API3 is pleased to announce a partnership with Boba Network, a Layer 2 Optimistic Rollup scaling solution for Ethereum. Boba Network smart contract developers will be able to natively leverage API3’s data providers via Airnode-enabled APIs and dAPIs (data feeds).

API3 is excited to support developers on the Boba Network. Through this partnership, API3 will be providing access to real world data directly from data providers, as well as truly decentralized and quantifiably secure dAPIs (data feeds) to dapps on the network. Through combining the variety of data sources provided by API3, and Boba’s low fees and streamlined exit of crypto assets, we hope to see dapps created that mimic the speed, usability and versatility of Web 2.0 apps. The initial integration work to make this possible has taken place, so get in touch if you’d like to start building!

Quotes

“Both API3 and Boba Network share a vision for a scalable Web 3.0, therefore we are very excited about partnering with them. Airnode has already been integrated in an early stage on Boba Network and I look forward to seeing the benefits this synergy can bring to the ecosystem.”

Heikki Vänttinen — Co-founder, API3

“The API3 integration with Boba Network will allow developers to build decentralized applications on Boba in a cost-effective, scalable manner. Given Boba’s high speeds and low transaction costs, this partnership paves the way for innovative dapp use cases, particularly in the DeFi and NFT spaces.”

— Alan Chiu — founder and CEO of Enya
