What’s possible with Eclipse?

Build applications that can coordinate masses of people and scale with your needs. Take the best parts of crypto and build with no limits.
Eclipse is building the fastest Ethereum Layer 2 using the Solana Virtual Machine, so that developers get all the benefits of dedicated throughput with none of the downsides.
But how?
Blockchains have historically been "monolithic."
All of the duties of a blockchain are done by the same set of nodes (computers running the network).

Traditional L2s have helped scale blockchains.
L2s move execution off of Layer 1s like Ethereum. But this still isn't enough to support many apps.

Apps benefit from local fee markets, so one "noisy neighbor" doesn't impact the rest of the chain.

What does this mean?

Superior speed, security, and scalability for powerful apps.
Unmatched speeds

Eclipse runs the highly performant Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) as its execution environment. This means optimized parallel execution capable of handling truly massive scale.

Security properties from Ethereum

Our validating bridge is on Ethereum. The bridge will validate all Eclipse transactions, preventing submission of invalid states. Additionally, it will enforce eventual liveness and censorship resistance under certain failure cases.

Composability across many apps

It’s complicated to maintain accounts across many chains. It’s worse UX to keep bridging and worrying about what gas token you need. Eclipse is a shared general-purpose L2 that can support most (if not all) use cases.

Scalable and verifiable

Celestia’s data availability sampling (DAS) light node support means users can verify for themselves that Eclipse block data has been made available while contributing to securely scaling the entire network.
