Eclipse Releases Rollup Blockchain for Polygon Network with Solana Compatibility

Customizable scrolling vendor Eclipse announced that the startup is launching a scaling solution compatible with Solana and Polygon. Eclipse revealed that the Layer 2 blockchain can run smart contracts on Solana, and decentralized applications (dapps) will be easily migrated to the Polygon Sealevel Virtual Machine (SVM).

How Eclipse’s L2 scaling concept hopes to improve Blockchain efficiency

On Thursday, rollout vendor Eclipse announced that the startup is partnering with the Polygon team to launch the Polygon Sealevel Virtual Machine (SVM). Eclipse noted that Polygon SVM will add new use cases and traffic to the Polygon ecosystem. Furthermore, the technology will utilize the security of Polygon and aims to provide a faster and more efficient experience.

Eclipse works with customizable rollups, a Layer 2 (L2) scaling concept that combines a large number of transactions to validate them all at once offchain, before committing them back to the blockchain. Abstract concepts aim to improve scalability, reduce fees, and maintain the security and decentralization benefits of the underlying blockchain network.

“Ethereum was obviously still very slow and still very expensive, so it was very obvious that rollups were the way to scale Ethereum,” Neel Somani, the founder of Eclipse explained to Techcrunch. “So we thought, what if we made a highly parallelized digest, but the difference is that we stick to a standard set of tools that already exist like the Solana Virtual Machine or the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).”

Eclipse raised $15 million last year and is backed by Polychain, Tribe Capital, Struck Crypto, Soma Capital, Tabiya and Galileo. The start-up is also a grant recipient from the Solana Foundation and has worked with Celestia, Eigenlayer and Near. Somani, a former Terra blockchain developer, worked on Terranova, a Terra-based Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) project before the Terra ecosystem collapsed.
