The Eclipse Foundation announced on November 7 that Eclipse, a Layer 2 powered by a Solana virtual machine on ethereum, had launched its public mainnet.
The milestone is a key step in Eclipse's quest to bring the best of ethereum (eth) and Solana (SOL) to users, the Eclipse Foundation said in a ethereum-302298840.html” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>Press release.
Vijay Chetty, CEO of Eclipse, noted that uniting these leading networks for decentralized applications and finance could drive a new wave of ecosystem development. Key areas that are likely to see growth due to increased dApp activity include DeFi, consumer applications, and gaming.
“Eclipse is uniquely positioned as the first solution to bridge the gap between Solana and ethereum, offering a powerful platform that serves both communities. Our goal is to empower developers from both ecosystems to build and scale their dApps like never before, unlocking new opportunities on the industry's largest networks.”

Eclipse's launch of the public Layer 2 mainnet follows its launch of the developer-focused mainnet in October. Since then, the platform has expanded its ecosystem by integrating projects such as Orca, Nucleus and Save.
Eclipse developers can utilize the parallel execution capabilities of Solana and the liquidity and security of ethereum, along with access to ethereum's extensive user community and asset base. The Eclipse architecture allows developers to leverage the Solana virtual machine to scale and improve user experiences.
As a result, Eclipse aims to eliminate the previous fragmentation that required developers to choose between the two ecosystems.
