Eclipse: The Fusion of Solana and Ethereum

Eclipse, a rollup that is currently under development, is one that aims to leverage the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to scale Ethereum’s throughput. SVM uses Sealevel to process transactions, which allows for parallel processing of transactions instead of the sequential processing that the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) uses. Additionally, Eclipse intends to utilize Celestia for data availability and incorporate RISC Zero for generating validity proofs to confer finality.

As Eclipse is still under development, there can still be material changes to its design. In this research piece, we will refer to Eclipse’s proposed architecture and existing documentation for analysis.
