Strategic Partnership: OpenPad AI x Boba Network - Powering Smarter Web3 with Hybrid Compute

We’re joining forces with a pioneer in blockchain scalability and computation: Boba Network.

At OpenPad AI, our mission is to build the world’s first AI-powered decentralized investment platform - one that brings intelligence, adaptability, and real-time decision-making to the heart of Web3. To achieve that, we’re joining forces with a pioneer in blockchain scalability and computation: Boba Network.

This strategic partnership brings together OpenPad AI’s data-driven investment infrastructure with Boba Network’s revolutionary Hybrid Compute Technology, unlocking powerful new possibilities for smart contract automation, AI integration, and cross-chain functionality.

1. About Boba Network

Boba Network stands at the forefront of blockchain innovation as a next-generation Layer 2 scaling solution, purpose-built to enhance the Ethereum ecosystem. Utilizing Optimistic Rollups, Boba processes transactions off-chain and batches them for periodic settlement on-chain - dramatically reducing gas fees and accelerating transaction throughput.

But what truly sets Boba apart is its Hybrid Compute Technology, which enables smart contracts to access and interact with off-chain data, APIs, and services - bringing the power of Web2 computation into the Web3 environment. This unlocks entirely new classes of decentralized applications that are dynamic, intelligent, and responsive to real-world inputs.

Key Capabilities of Boba Network:

🔹 Optimized Transaction Speeds & Fees: Boba’s Optimistic Rollup architecture delivers faster transaction execution and lower gas costs by shifting the bulk of processing off-chain. For OpenPad AI, this ensures a seamless and cost-efficient user experience - especially critical in AI-driven investment environments where responsiveness matters.

🔹 Hybrid Compute for Real-Time Intelligence: Boba’s Hybrid Compute enables smart contracts to call external APIs, access real-world data, or even integrate AI models - all within a single, atomic transaction. This empowers dApp developers to build more intelligent, flexible applications. For OpenPad AI, it means our smart contracts can make data-informed investment decisions in real time.

🔹 Cross-Chain Bridging & NFT Compatibility: Boba Network supports multi-chain asset bridging and interoperability across ecosystems, enabling OpenPad AI users to expand their portfolios and interact with a broader range of DeFi and NFT assets - fostering accessibility and diversification across chains.

In short, Boba Network isn’t just scaling Ethereum—it’s extending the frontier of what’s possible on-chain. This robust technical foundation paves the way for OpenPad AI to supercharge its platform with intelligent capabilities.

2. Integrating Hybrid Compute Technology

2.1 What Is Hybrid Compute?

Hybrid Compute is a game-changing innovation by Boba Network that empowers smart contracts to natively access and process off-chain information—without compromising decentralization or security.

Unlike traditional oracle solutions that require multiple transactions and time delays, Hybrid Compute leverages ERC-4337 Account Abstraction and a custom bundler to inject off-chain computation into the smart contract lifecycle in real time. This process occurs during the gas estimation phase, allowing a single transaction to:

• Trigger an off-chain service (e.g. API call, AI model, custom logic)

• Cache the response securely on-chain

• Execute the final smart contract logic using the off-chain result—atomically and trustlessly

This is a paradigm shift: smart contracts no longer have to operate in isolation. They can now think, react, and evolve using real-world data and intelligence.

2.2 What It Means for OpenPad AI

For OpenPad AI, integrating Hybrid Compute is a foundational upgrade that enhances every layer of our protocol, from data processing to user experience. Here’s how:

🔸 AI-Native Smart Contracts: Our contracts can now connect directly to AI models, machine learning engines, and data pipelines, enabling real-time risk assessments, scoring algorithms, portfolio strategies, and more.

🔸 Frictionless, One-Click UX: Hybrid Compute allows for single-transaction workflows that feel intuitive and immediate, removing the need for multiple steps or waiting periods typical of on-chain/off-chain communication.

🔸 Scalable Intelligence, Lower Costs: Heavy computation is handled off-chain, freeing the blockchain for what it does best, ensuring trust, security, and verifiability. This dramatically reduces gas costs while preserving full transparency.

🔸 Composability with Real-World Signals: From live market feeds and sentiment analysis to regulatory data or identity verification. OpenPad AI can now compose more adaptive and intelligent investment dApps powered by real-time inputs.

Together, these capabilities position OpenPad AI as a trailblazer in the AI-powered DeFi space, offering smarter automation, richer insights, and next-level utility for both developers and users. By embracing Hybrid Compute, we’re unlocking the full spectrum of what AI and blockchain can achieve when they work in tandem.

3. Unlocking a New Era of Intelligent Web3

The integration of Hybrid Compute Technology marks more than just a technical upgrade for OpenPad AI - it’s a bold step toward realizing a smarter, more connected blockchain ecosystem. By combining Boba Network’s off-chain computation capabilities with OpenPad’s AI-native infrastructure, we’re ushering in a new generation of decentralized applications - ones that can think, respond, and evolve with real-world data and intelligence.

This collaboration empowers OpenPad AI to go beyond traditional DeFi, unlocking powerful new use cases where smart contracts can dynamically react to user behavior, market sentiment, or AI-generated insights - all in real time, and all on-chain.

But this is only the beginning. To celebrate this strategic alliance, OpenPad AI and Boba Network will soon host a joint event featuring key voices from both ecosystems. We’ll explore what this partnership means for the future of AI, smart contracts, and next-gen investment tools - while giving the community a front-row seat to what’s coming next. The future of Web3 isn’t just decentralized. It’s intelligent. And it starts here.
