Eclipse is the crypto intersection. It is the connection between Solana, Ethereum, and Celestia.
The top ecosystems and currency assets of cryptocurrencies are converging on Eclipse, including ETH and SOL, as well as the up-and-coming TIA. Eclipse bridges Ethereum's Canonical Bridge and bridges Solana, Celestia, Stride, and Ethereum's Hyperlane Nexus Bridge, which greatly promotes interoperability.
The total value of assets bridged to Eclipse has grown to $171.2 million. Overall, 22.6% comes from Canonical Bridge, 71.7% from Hyperlane Nexus, and the remaining 5.7% comes from various bridges compatible with EVM Layer-2s, such as Relay, Owlto, and Orbiter.
Eclipse Ecosystem Overview:
Eclipse is aligned with Solana.Eclipse is a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) 2-layer network that uses ETH to pay transaction fees while leveraging the SVM's local fee market. The network optimistically settles to Ethereum while publishing data to Celestia. Similar to Ethereum's MegaETH, Eclipse's technical strategy is to optimize only for execution performance.
What is the long-term goal of Eclipse?Provide abundant high-performance block space and redistribute value (transaction fees and MEV) to applications. The model aims to provide a network where all applications can efficiently serve users simultaneously while being rewarded for the activity they generate. This eliminates the need to launch dedicated application chains, as has happened on Ethereum and Cosmos.
An ecosystem is emerging.
Similar to Sanctum’s INF token, Eclipse is developing tETH, Eclipse’s native re-collateralized token backed by six assets.
Eclipse native DeFi applications like Solar DEX and Astrol are gaining traction.
The community has rallied behind NFT projects deployed via Scope like After School Club, a 10k pfp that is receiving attention from the entire core team.
Recently, Turbo Tap was deployed to highlight the performance of Eclipse. With an average transaction fee of $0.0003, people are using it in large numbers. Turbo Tap has become the largest application on Eclipse by active addresses and transaction volume, while helping Eclipse maintain an average TPS metric of over 1,845 over the past five days.
