Eclipse

Last updated: Jan 22, 2025

Eclipse is a San Francisco-based technology company founded in 2022 by Neel Somani and Sam Thapaliya. Eclipse enables developers to deploy their own customizable rollups using the Solana virtual machine, using any chain for security or data storage. Their public testnet will go live in 2023 in the Celestia ecosystem, and will be rolled out across blockchain ecosystems thereafter.

What is Eclipse

Eclipse is a customizable rollup provider that is compatible with multiple layer-1 blockchains. The platform enables developers to deploy their own rollup powered by the Solana operating system, using any chain for security or data storage. Rollups, a category of layer-2s, help blockchains scale by increasing a chain’s throughput, which allows applications to handle more transactions in a given time frame.

Eclipse Mainnet combines the following 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: Celestia - Eclipse will post its data to Celestia for scalable data availability (DA).
Proving: RISC Zero - Eclipse will use RISC Zero for ZK proofs of fraud (without intermediate state serialization).
