$SOL It’s so popular, while commenting on memes, you should also pay attention to value investing~
@EclipseFND, which has raised a total of US$65 million in financing, is the first SVM Layer2 that combines the security of Ethereum, the high performance of Solana and the narrative of Celestia DA. How to interact with the testnet?
1. Project introduction
Eclipse is the first SVM (Solana Virtual Machine) Layer 2 of Ethereum. The goal is to become the fastest and universal Layer 2 of Ethereum powered by SVM. The network architecture of Eclipse is as follows:
1. Ethereum as a settlement layer
2.Official embedded verification bridge
3.Celestia as a data availability layer
4.RISC Zero is used to generate zero-knowledge fraud proofs
5.Solana’s SVM is implemented as a modular Layer 2 as a whole
Eclipse will launch its mainnet in the second quarter of 2024, and has currently released development network and testnet versions of its protocol.
2. Financing information
In August 2022, Eclipse completed a $6 million Pre-Seed round of financing led by Polychain.
On September 26, 2022, it completed a US$9 million seed round of financing co-led by Tribe Capital and Tabiya. In addition, Eclipse also received a development grant from the Solana Foundation to support Solana Virtual Machine-driven Rollup.
On March 10, 2024, Eclipse completed a $50 million Series A financing co-led by Placeholder and Hack VC, bringing its total public financing to $65 million.
3. How to interact with the testnet
1. Get Sepolia ETH from the faucet: https://sepoliafaucet.com
