What is Eclipse?

Eclipse is Ethereum’s first Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) L2 blockchain and combines the best features of modular stacking.
It will be settled on Ethereum and use ETH as the Gas token; and the execution side uses Solana (SVM) as a high-performance execution environment.

Financing situation

The financing lineup can be said to be quite promising. It is led by well-known Polychain, Hack VC, Placeholder and Tribe Capital. Its scale reaches US$59 million, and its valuation has reached the US$1 billion mark.

Airdrop teaching

We are now in the development stage of the mainnet. We need to ambush the card position before the mainnet is officially launched. Especially if there is an officially supported free NFT, it must be there.

Install wallet

It is recommended to use the Backpack wallet as the main wallet for all subsequent operations.

  1. Install the Backpack wallet plug-in: https://backpack.app

  2. Unless you have done a testnet, it is recommended to create a new mnemonic wallet. (Although it is more troublesome, it is also safer)

  3. The wallet switches to Eclipse, or is created using the Eclipse network directly.

Cross-chain

Here we only talk about two cross-chain bridges, one is the official one, and the other is the cross-chain bridge developed by the Validators team.

  • Official cross-chain bridge: https://bridge.eclipse.xyz/

    1. One side is connected to the EVM wallet, and the other side is connected to the Backpack wallet.

    2. It is recommended to transfer around 0.1 and leave at least 0.05 balance online after the interaction.

PS: Currently, it only supports one-way transfer from the Ethereum main network to Eclipse. There is no way to cross back from the original place for the time being, but there is still a method, which I will teach you in a later article.

Eclipse official bridge

  • Validators cross-chain bridge: https://bridge.validators.wtf/

    1. The left side is connected to the EVM wallet, and the right side is connected to the Backpack wallet.

    2. Transfer money.

PS: In fact, you don’t need to do this. As for the reason why I still introduce it, it is because Validators is the first team to develop Eclipse bridging services. Validators are very active and have even been praised by Eclipse supervisors before. There may be airdrops in the future.

Official support for NFT

  • Official website: https://scopenft.xyz

  • Time: Deadline at 22:00 on October 24, 2024.

This NFT is free to mint and only requires Gas. It should be noted that this NFT can be minted all the time, which may dilute the total amount and make it worthless. It is recommended to only hold 1.

Bridge Eclipse funds back

The Eclipse bridge mentioned just now can be completed using the Lifinity + Hyperlane protocols to bridge back to other networks.

  1. Wallet link Lifinity.

    • https://eclipse.lifinity.io/swap

  2. Swap ETH to USDC. (It is currently not possible to switch to SOL, and the price slip is a bit obvious, so it is recommended not to use too much)

  1. Wallet link Hyperlane.

    • https://www.usenexus.org/

    • You need to connect two, one is Eclipse and the other is connected to Solana. You can use the Backpack wallet for both. (The addresses of the Eclipse and Solana chains are the same)

  2. While selecting Eclipse.

  3. On the other side is Solana.

  4. Select USDC.

  5. Enter the amount to be transferred.

  6. Confirm the receiving address.

  7. send.

Use the newly created Backpack wallet. At this time, there are no Gas tokens on the Solana chain. Remember to transfer some SOL to it. This problem does not occur if you connect your commonly used Solana wallet.

This can also be counted among the interactive tasks, but it is recommended to do it only once in a while.

risk

Eclipse is now in the mainnet development stage. Although it is not an official mainnet, from the perspective of users, it is not much different from the mainnet in terms of practicality. They are all done with real money. Just control the allocation of funds a little and don’t spend money. Too much cost is spent on unnecessary interactions.

Many of the above projects are still in their early stages. Here are some Dapps that look good and are available to you. Please pay attention to your own safety on all relevant links, especially you still need to do enough research before participating.

Eclipse currently has no incentive tasks to complete, and the official has not made it clear that there will be airdrops in the future. You still need to pay attention to this.

Summarize

The current interactions are quite simple. After all, there are not many projects to participate in now. However, you can pay more attention to the ecology mentioned above, and you may be able to discover some early opportunities.
More news about Eclipse in the future will also be placed on my X. Interested partners can follow it and discuss it together.
