Eclipse launches as the first hybrid Ethereum L2 on the Solana mainnet
Today is the launch of Eclipse, the very first Layer-2 solution that unites Ethereum and Solana on a single blockchain. This eagerly anticipated network launch marks a groundbreaking step in blockchain technology, attracting over $65 million in funding prior to its launch on November 7.
Eclipse makes ethereum transactions faster and cheaper
With Eclipse, users can complete transactions on Ethereum quickly and affordably by harnessing the power of the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). Like other Ethereum L2 networks, Eclipse batches transactions and settles them on the Ethereum mainnet, ensuring faster processing and lower costs.
More than 60 decentralized applications on eclipse
The launch of Eclipse provides a platform for over 60 decentralized applications (DApps) and services, spanning multiple sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi), consumer applications, and gaming. Key projects on the network include the automated market maker Orca and the lending protocol Save.
innovative collaboration between ethereum and solana ecosystems
The goal of Eclipse is to bring together developers from both ecosystems – Ethereum and Solana – enabling them to build and scale their DApps like never before. By bridging two leading blockchain networks, Eclipse offers a powerful solution for both communities, creating new opportunities in the blockchain sector.
The advantages of eclipse: ethereum‘s liquidity and solana‘s speed
Ethereum is globally recognized for its robust decentralization and holds over $500 billion in on-chain assets, while Solana is celebrated for its speed and low transaction costs. Eclipse combines the best of both worlds: Ethereum‘s liquidity and security with Solana‘s speed. Users and developers benefit from seamless communication between DApps on Ethereum L2 and native Solana apps, uniting both networks on one platform.
Significant investments strengthen eclipse‘s position in the blockchain industry
Eclipse‘s strong position within the industry is made possible by substantial investments, including a $50 million funding round in March led by Placeholder and Hack VC. Investors also include prominent figures in the blockchain world, such as Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko and Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz.
A new era for blockchain innovation with the launch of eclipse
With the launch of Eclipse, a new era in blockchain innovation begins. We are committed to supporting developers, projects, and communities by providing a reliable platform for growth and new opportunities in the rapidly evolving world of decentralized technology.
