Boba Network is an OP-Stack EVM L2 on Ethereum (chain 288) focusing on reducing gas costs for computationally intensive applications, BOBA governance token, operated by the Boba Foundation. The official endpoint at mainnet.boba.network and dRPC provide keyless access probed every 60 seconds from three regions.
Methodology
Per-chain member of the RPC latency cluster, extended to Boba Network. We measure the round-trip latency of a single, identical RPC call (`eth_getBlockByNumber`) against every no-key public Boba Network endpoint that sustains continuous probing, 2 providers at launch, every 60 seconds, from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The harness classifies every response (ok / http_err / jsonrpc_err / stale / timeout) so the leaderboard rewards sustained availability rather than fast error messages. The cross-chain view lives on the parent `rpc-capabilities` benchmark; this page is the Boba Network-scoped answer with per-region breakdowns as a first-class dimension.
Frequently asked
What is the fastest free Boba Network RPC right now?
Boba Foundation currently leads at 258 ms (`eth_getBlockByNumber` p50 over the last 24h), measured against 2 no-key providers probed every 60 seconds from us-east, eu-west and Singapore. The leaderboard re-sorts continuously against fresh Prometheus samples.
Which Boba Network RPCs work without an API key?
2 endpoints sustain continuous keyless probing: Boba Foundation (mainnet.boba.network) and dRPC. Every listed endpoint was live-verified before inclusion.
Does the fastest Boba Network RPC change by region?
Often. The region tabs at the top of the page re-scope every number to a single origin; pick the one closest to where your requests originate.
How is Boba Network RPC latency measured here?
One identical JSON-RPC POST (`eth_getBlockByNumber`) every 60 seconds against each provider from each of 3 regions. Responses are classified so an endpoint stuck on an old head or returning errors is never ranked as fastest.
