ECLIPSE IS SOLANA ON ETHEREUM Ethereum’s First SVM L2
BUT HOW?
01
How it began:
Monolithic Blockchains
02
WHERE WE ARE NOW:
Single Threaded Layer 2s
03
THE NEXT GEN OF DAPPS:
Parallelized Layer 2s
Blockchains have historically been “Monolithic.”
All the duties of a blockchain are done by the same set of nodes (computers running the network)
L2s have helped SCALE blockchains.
L2s move execution off of Layer 1s like Ethereum. Existing EVM L2s are single threaded and execution constrained.
BUT IT’S NOT enough...
Ethereum needs an L2 CAPABLE of truly massive scale.
Maximally optimize the execution environment by turbo-charging the SVM combined with hardware acceleration, pushing parallel execution to its limits.
While maintaining TRUSTLESS ACCESS to its liquidity and security.
Access the most economically secure, attack-resistant settlement layer, Ethereum, and its vast users and liquidity.
And guaranteeing LOW VERIFIABILITY requirements.
Posting to Celestia, the most secure, consumer hardware verifiable, high throughput and cheap DA layer to enable turbo-low transactions fees.
WHERE DOES
THAT lead us?
Layer 2 future
Superior speed, security, and scalability for powerful apps
Unmatched speeds
Eclipse utilizes the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) as part of its execution environment. This means optimized parallel execution capable of handling hundreds of dapps simultaneously at scale with no noisy neighbor problem.
Security properties from Ethereum
Eclipse nodes look to our bridge contract on Ethereum to determine correct ordering. The canonical 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
Rollup fragmentation across hundreds of L2s and appchains is here, and it’s only going to get worse. Eclipse is a highly scalable L2 that will allow apps to synchronously compose with each other and eventually accrue execution value within one L2 ecosystem, enabling apps to play more positive sum games.
Scalable and verifiable
Celestia’s consumer hardware verifiable and high throughput data availability layer means that users can verify the state of the network themselves while contributing to securely scaling the entire network.
