Eclipse LabsIntroducing Eclipse Mainnet: The Ethereum SVM L2
TL;DR: We’re excited to finally announce the architecture for Eclipse Mainnet: Ethereum’s fastest L2, powered by the SVM. Eclipse Mainnet is a general-purpose L2 that combines the best pieces of the modular stack:Settlement: Ethereum - Eclipse will settle to Ethereum (i.e., the enshrined validating bridge will be on Ethereum) and use ETH as its gas token.Execution: Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) - Eclipse will run the highly performant SVM as its execution environment.Data Availability: Celesti...
Eclipse LabsExploring Eclipse's Canonical Ethereum Bridge and Proving System
Eclipse is Ethereum's fastest Layer 2, powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). As mentioned in our initial architecture post, Eclipse combines the best pieces of the modular stack: Ethereum as the settlement layer for our enshrined validating bridge, Celestia as the data availability layer, RISC Zero to generate our zero-knowledge fraud proofs, and Solana's SVM as the execution environment. In this article, we will cover Eclipse's canonical bridge and fraud proof design. T...

Thank you to Andrew Fitzgerald, Harsh Patel, Jon Charbonneau, Kevin Galler, Lanre Ige, Mert Mumtaz, Pranav Garimidi, Ryan Chern, Tao Zhu, and Tarun Chitra for feedback and review.IntroductionEclipse is Ethereum's first SVM L2. We’re incredibly excited to bring the existing SVM’s power to more users, but we’re also dedicated to pushing forward ongoing R&D around the SVM itself. We’re focused on ensuring that Eclipse’s development undeniably returns value back to all SVM chains, especially...

Ethereum’s fastest Layer 2 just got closer.
We’re excited to announce the next step toward the mass adoption of the Solana Virtual Machine: Eclipse, the first SVM Ethereum L2, is now live on Ethereum's Sepolia testnet and Celestia's Mocha testnet.
This marks our final milestone on the path to deploying Eclipse Mainnet, which will feature the best parts of the modular stack: Ethereum for settlement, Celestia for data availability, and the SVM for execution.
Developers can now bridge Sepolia ETH and deploy contracts to the final testnet before Eclipse Mainnet. To use the validating bridge, developers can refer to our docs. The steps are roughly as follows:
Create a keypair on Eclipse Testnet
Receive Sepolia ETH using any available faucet
Use the validating bridge to transfer tokens on Eclipse Testnet to your address
Deploy contracts and interact with Eclipse Testnet apps
The first 1000 developers to deploy to Eclipse Testnet will receive a commemorative NFT on Eclipse Mainnet, launching early next year.
Our validating bridge is currently undergoing an audit. Upon its completion, Eclipse will open a bug bounty program for the bridge contracts.
Compared to Eclipse Devnet, Eclipse Testnet additionally publishes transactions to Celestia’s Mocha testnet. This makes it possible for any full node to follow along and ensure the commitments posted to the validating bridge are correct.
Eclipse Testnet features the first deployment of Eclipse's validating bridge. When bridge transactions hit the Ethereum mailbox, Firehose streams transactions to the full node running Eclipse for execution.
Withdrawals from the Eclipse validating bridge are disabled, and there is no user interface for the bridge. Eclipse Testnet should not be used to support any real economic value.
Now that blobs are posted to Mocha, the upcoming mainnet release of Blobstream will allow Celestia's data roots to be relayed to the Eclipse validating bridge on Ethereum.
Additionally, we’ll be upgrading the validating bridge to support ZK fault proofs, which will involve committing additional data to Celestia.
In the future, Eclipse will experiment further with the SVM. This includes work around novel fee markets that more accurately price compute, storage, and account locking. We'll also explore offering alternative bytecodes and custom gas tokens to give developers and users more options.
We welcome all community members to join our Discord to chat with the team and provide any testnet feedback.
