"The Eclipse Foundation has now launched the Eclipse mainnet, with multiple top projects already live in the thriving ecosystem of this network, covering users from both the Solana and Ethereum communities."
The Eclipse Foundation has built the SVM Layer-2 chain based on Ethereum, which combines Solana's high-speed parallel execution capabilities with Ethereum's security and extensive liquidity. Developers can build applications on Ethereum while enjoying the vast user community and rich assets of the network, as well as benefiting from the scalability and user experience of the Solana virtual machine. Eclipse eliminates fragmentation in the market, addressing the historical issue of developers and users needing to choose between the two major ecosystem leaders.
The launch of the new mainnet is a significant milestone in the development of the Eclipse ecosystem, which will further strive to become a bridge between the two most influential ecosystems, Ethereum and Solana, serving both communities. Since launching the Eclipse mainnet for developers last month, the Eclipse ecosystem has made significant progress, attracting top projects like Orca, Save, and Nucleus. Additionally, Eclipse launched with sixty decentralized applications and service providers covering various fields such as DeFi, consumer, and gaming. Developers building on Eclipse can take advantage of its high scalability, low transaction costs, and good composability to create innovative on-chain applications.
"The launch of the Eclipse mainnet marks an important moment for developers in the blockchain space," said Eclipse CEO Vijay Chetty. "Eclipse uniquely becomes the first solution that connects Solana and Ethereum by providing a powerful platform that meets the needs of both communities. Our goal is to empower the developers of these two ecosystems to build and scale their decentralized applications like never before, unlocking new opportunities within the industry's largest network framework."
Ethereum faces multiple challenges, including scalability, state and liquidity fragmentation, and a lack of interoperability solutions, which leads to decentralization of Ethereum, forcing developers and users to make trade-offs when choosing networks. Eclipse addresses this issue by providing a Layer-2 solution that combines the advantages of both, reintegrating Ethereum's users and liquidity onto a scalable blockchain. Eclipse enables decentralized application (dApp) developers to efficiently scale their applications while leveraging Ethereum's liquidity, providing a stronger and more interconnected future for both ecosystems.
The launch of the Eclipse public mainnet is just the beginning of its grand vision. As the network continues to expand, Eclipse plans to further enhance network performance through research on the core virtual machine, establishing its position as a key bridge between Ethereum and Solana. With a rapidly expanding suite of decentralized applications and an increasing number of partnerships, Eclipse is poised to become a key player in the future of Ethereum scalability and the Solana virtual machine ecosystem.
About Eclipse
Eclipse is the first Ethereum Layer-2 network to use the Solana virtual machine, combining Solana's speed with Ethereum's liquidity. This novel architecture achieves high-performance L2 while maintaining verifiable hard constraints and can leverage Ethereum's liquidity. Our mission is to become the best platform for decentralized applications (dApps), thereby accelerating the future development of crypto-driven products. Eclipse provides developers with a generalized L2 that supports massive scalability, empowering the next generation of decentralized applications.
