What is Eclipse and how does it work?

‍

Eclipse leverages the power of blockchain technology to make digital transactions easier, faster, and more secure.

‍

Think of it as a bridge that connects the best features of two popular blockchain systems: Ethereum and Solana. Eclipse is one of the only Ethereum L2s to embrace Solana technology in their marketing materials and documentation.

‍

Eclipse executes transactions using Solana parallel processing architecture and batches the transactions before they are sent to Ethereum for final checks and an immutable record on the blockchain.

‍

This system provides lightning fast transaction speeds at a low cost while maintaining the confidence of Ethereum security and decentralization.

‍

The most performant battle-tested execution environment in crypto with a high TPS production system

‍

‍

By combining the strengths of two major blockchain platforms Ethereum and Solana, Eclipse offers a fast and secure way to manage digital transactions.

‍

What is an Ethereum rollup?

‍

An Ethereum rollup processes many transactions together off the main blockchain to save time and money, then sends a summary back to the main blockchain to ensure security.

‍

This makes transactions faster and cheaper.

‍

What does executing transactions on Solana mean?

‍

Executing transactions on Solana means that transactions are processed using Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) tooling which results in high speeds and low costs.

‍

Solana utilizes parallel execution meaning that the blockchain processes multiple transactions simultaneously instead of one after another.

‍

What does settling transactions on Ethereum mean?

‍

Settling transactions on Ethereum means that once the transaction is processed on Solana, the data is shifted to Ethereum to be confirmed and recorded.

‍

Why does Eclipse use both Solana and Ethereum?

‍

Fast transactions and trusted security.

‍

Solana processes transactions at lightning speed (and low cost) while Ethereum has community acceptance as a secure ledger for recording blockchain activity.

‍

Eclipse Network, an Ethereum SVM L2, combines the best of Ethereum and Solana. it’s Where the most Performant execution environment meets unparalleled liquidity.

‍

Is Eclipse secure?

‍

Eclipse smart contracts and blockchain tools have been audited by industry leader auditor OtterSec.

‍

This includes intensive rounds of penetration testing and examinations of code which have resulted in a passing grade from the auditor.

‍

Who uses Eclipse?

‍

Eclipse is primarily used by Ethereum blockchain developers who are either adapting existing programs to be compatible or creating new programs custom built for use with Eclipse.
