On November 7, 2024, Eclipse officially launched its mainnet, marking an important milestone in the evolution of blockchain technologies. Eclipse is the first layer 2 (L2) network that combines the features of Ethereum and Solana into a single blockchain. This innovation allows crypto users to conduct transactions on Ethereum more quickly and at a lower cost by using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to execute transactions.
Eclipse launches its L2 mainnet: the alliance of Ethereum and Solana
According to Vijay Chetty, CEO of Eclipse, “Our aim is to enable developers from both ecosystems to build and scale their decentralized applications (dApps) like never before, unlocking new opportunities across the largest networks in the industry.” Eclipse thus positions itself as the first solution to bridge the gap between Solana and Ethereum, offering a powerful platform that meets the needs of both crypto communities.
The best of both worlds in a single crypto system
Eclipse offers users the speed of Solana with the liquidity of Ethereum, allowing dApps on Ethereum L2 to communicate with Solana native applications. This unique combination aims to solve the issues of fragmentation and lack of interoperability that have historically affected crypto developers and Ethereum users.
