The staff behind Eclipse — the primary Ethereum layer 2 that makes use of the Solana Digital Machine to execute transactions — is about to launch its mainnet in October.
“Public mainnet will likely be launching towards the tip of October,” revealed Vijay Chetty, CEO of Eclipse Labs, in an interview with Cointelegraph on the Solana Breakpoint convention in Singapore on Sept. 20.
“We’re on developer mainnet proper now, which implies that we’re open for builders and builders, however we haven’t enabled any entrance ends or consumer interfaces but.”
Eclipse goals to carry “Web2 scale to Web3” by combining the very best of Ethereum, Solana and the layer-1 blockchain Celestia, which it’ll use to retailer knowledge.

Chetty mentioned constructing a blockchain by combining the very best elements of every is a “imaginative and prescient that we very a lot subscribe to.”
It might additionally, in concept, imply Eclipse avoids the worst options of these blockchains, too.
Chetty recommended that Solana’s decentralization constraints and Ethereum’s sluggish transaction throughput on the bottom layer have hamstrung each blockchains from reaching widespread success.
Whereas Ethereum layer 2s provide a greater transaction throughput, many blockchains retailer knowledge offchain as a consequence of prices, amongst different issues, Chetty mentioned. Eclipse’s integration of Celestia goals to repair that.

Eclipse will face stiff competitors within the cut-throat Ethereum layer-2 market.
Arbitrum One, Base and OP Mainnet are the three largest Ethereum layer-2 options with $13.7 billion, $6.5 billion and $6 billion in whole worth locked, respectively, L2Beat knowledge reveals.
Chetty mentioned that to compensate for misplaced floor, Eclipse will combine a number of present “Solana blue chip apps” and create a number of native apps.
Solana apps that will develop to Eclipse will embody decentralized exchanges Mango and Orca, in addition to lending and borrowing platform Solend. A few of these apps will likely be rebranded with totally different names, he famous.
