What is Boba Network?
Boba Network is an optimistic rollup, a layer 2 network that settles on Ethereum. Its docs describe it as fully compatible with EVM-based tools and aimed at developers who build hybrid dApps, meaning apps that reach beyond what a smart contract can do on its own.
The feature it leads with is HybridCompute, which lets smart contracts trigger code running off-chain on web-scale infrastructure, for work that would be too expensive or impossible to run on-chain. The site also lists account abstraction and the option to pay network fees in BOBA or in the protocol's native currency.
BOBA is the network's governance token. OMG Foundation announced it alongside the mainnet launch on 20 September 2021, and the tokenomics page puts the total supply at 500 million.
How Boba Network works
Boba Network runs transactions on a layer 2 rollup and leans on the underlying blockchain, Ethereum, for security. The site says fees can be up to 100x cheaper than on that base chain. Developers can use HybridCompute to have their contracts call off-chain APIs and computation, and users can pay fees in BOBA or in the protocol's native currency.
The airdrop was announced on 20 September 2021 together with the public mainnet launch. BOBA was to go to existing OMG holders who had bridged their OMG to Boba Network by a snapshot date set for later the following month. The tokenomics page now allots 140 million of the 500 million supply, or 28%, to the airdrop.
The same announcement said BOBA staked on the network would receive a share of the transaction fees through an on-chain distribution governed by the community. The tokenomics page states that the last unlock took place on June 20, 2025 and that tokens are fully unlocked.
The BOBA airdrop
The airdrop paid BOBA, the governance token of Boba Network, from a 140 million allocation that is 28% of a 500 million supply. The 20 September 2021 announcement said it would go to existing OMG holders who had bridged their OMG to Boba Network by a snapshot date. The tokenomics page now describes the distribution in the past tense, with the last unlock on June 20, 2025.
Step by step: how to get the BOBA airdrop
Kept for reference: this is how the campaign worked while it ran.
Stay safe: a real airdrop never asks for your seed phrase or private key. Use only the official links on this page, and treat any message that offers help with a claim as a scam.
Step 1: Hold OMG before the snapshot
The 20 September 2021 announcement tied the airdrop to existing OMG token holders, so OMG in your wallet was the starting point.
Step 2: Bridge OMG to Boba Network
Holders had to move their OMG onto Boba Network, the Ethereum layer 2, before the snapshot date the announcement placed later in the following month.
Step 3: Stay bridged through the snapshot
Only OMG that had been bridged by the snapshot date counted under the announced rule, so the tokens had to remain on Boba Network until then.
Step 4: Receive the BOBA airdrop
The Boba Governance Foundation airdropped the tokens as part of a 140 million allocation. The tokenomics page now shows the distribution as complete, with the last unlock on June 20, 2025.
