1/ What is Eclipse? ✨

Eclipse mainnet is one of the most anticipated launches of the year.

Eclipse's advantage is in it's architecture: it combines the best pieces of the modular stack

Eclipse is Ethereum's first SVM Layer 2, meaning it’s powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM)

What does that mean?👇

2/ Unlike the EVM other L2s use, the SVM supports parallel execution, meaning it can process multiple txs at once

It also allows for local fee markets, which make txs cheaper & prevents gas spikes during network congestion

While Eclipse uses ethereum for tx settlement, it posts its data to Celestia👇

3/ This means it can do magnitudes more txs for much cheaper than if it posted data to ethereum 

Using Celestia allows eclipse to reduce the cost of data availability (DA) by up to 95%! 

Additionally, Eclipse uses RISC Zero (a VM) to create Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs of SVM execution

Huh? 👇

4/ State serialization (converting chain state into a format that can be easily stored) is computational expensive

With ZK Proofs, the settlement contract can ensure correctness of txs without having to run the txs themselves onchain, resulting in increased security and performance

Lastly, EVM compatibility👇

5/ Eclipse is EVM compatible thanks to Neon (the first parallelized evm)

Neon EVM is an EVM operating as a smart contract that can be deployed on any SVM chain

This is crucial: it means eth developers can deploy any EVM smart contract on Eclipse!

Eclipse combines the best of all the latest blockchain tech👇

6/ Eclipse testnet is live, with mainnet expected soon! Now's the perfect chance to try it out
