BOB endpoints are now available in Blast! Our advanced and distributed infrastructure services are designed to enhance the capabilities of BOB developers by offering instant access to crucial blockchain data. With Blast’s custom and public APIs, you can seamlessly build on the powerful intersection of Bitcoin and Ethereum, whether you’re focused on rollups, AI, DAOs, DeFi, NFTs, or entertainment.

What is BOB?

BOB, short for “Build on Bitcoin,” is an innovative hybrid Layer 2 solution that seamlessly combines the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) with Bitcoin’s robust infrastructure. This unique blend allows developers to leverage the best of both worlds: the security, liquidity, and widespread adoption of Bitcoin, along with the innovative capabilities of Ethereum’s ecosystem. With BOB, developers can deploy EVM smart contracts while enjoying Bitcoin’s security, enabling access to dApps, stablecoins, NFTs, and DeFi applications.

Benefits of Building on BOB

Building on BOB offers a multitude of benefits that can supercharge your blockchain projects. By merging Bitcoin’s strengths – such as its extensive user base, high liquidity, substantial market cap, and proof-of-work security – with Ethereum’s advanced development environment, BOB enables Bitcoin users to tap into Ethereum’s innovative ecosystem without leaving the Bitcoin network. 

In addition, its dual liquidity model allows BOB to source liquidity from both Bitcoin and Ethereum, enhancing the flexibility and reach of your applications. 

BOB utilizes EVM to create and execute smart contracts, ensuring compatibility with existing developer tools, wallets, multisig solutions, and infrastructure providers like block explorers and data analytics platforms. 

Whether you’re building dApps that handle NFTs or financial services (DeFi), BOB’s powerful and secure foundation empowers you to push the boundaries of blockchain innovation.
