Welcome to the developer documentation for implementing a basic example with our system and API. This guide will walk you through the necessary steps to get started and provide you with the information you need to successfully integrate our system into your project. Additionally, you can view a full example on our Github.
Hybrid Compute in the Boba Network allows smart contracts to interact with external data and services. Typically, smart contracts on blockchains like Ethereum are limited to the data available on the blockchain, unable to access outside information directly. Hybrid Compute changes this by enabling smart contracts to make API calls to external services. This interaction allows smart contracts to both access data and perform complex computations off-chain. The results of these computations can then be used on-chain, enhancing the functionality and efficiency of smart contracts. By doing so, Hybrid Compute reduces gas costs associated with complex computations and broadens the scope of what decentralized applications (dApps) can achieve. In essence, it bridges the gap between the blockchain and the real world, allowing for more sophisticated and dynamic applications.
An account abstraction bundler is a component of a blockchain system designed to enhance the functionality and flexibility of smart contract accounts. It facilitates the direct control of accounts by translating user intents, removing the traditional division between externally owned accounts and their dependencies for contract accounts. This abstraction allows users to interact more seamlessly and manage smart contract accounts directly. Additionally, the bundler aspect optimizes transaction packaging by grouping multiple transactions together before adding them to a block. This optimization can lead to more efficient use of block space and potentially lower transaction fees. Overall, account abstraction bundlers enable the development of more sophisticated decentralized applications (dApps) by empowering smart contracts with greater control and functionality within the blockchain network.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites in place:
Typescript or Python
Docker
You also need to install the Hybrid Compute SDK:
If you intend to integrate a UI with your project, you'll also need to install the client-specific SDK (written in TypeScript, regardless of which language you intend to use):
Once your environment is ready, proceed through the following steps to implement your Hybrid Compute examples.
