Eclipse Labs Unveils Hybrid Layer 2 Solution Combining Ethereum and Solana

Eclipse Labs is preparing to launch its mainnet in October, marking a significant development in blockchain interoperability. The project combines elements from Ethereum, Solana, and Celestia blockchains to address scalability issues in Web3.

Vijay Chetty, CEO of Eclipse Labs, confirmed that the public mainnet will be launched by the end of October, following the current developer mainnet phase.

Eclipse utilizes the Solana Virtual Machine for transaction execution and operates as an Ethereum layer 2 solution. The project incorporates Celestia's data storage capabilities to bring 'Web2 scale to Web3'.

The team aims to avoid perceived weaknesses of its component blockchains, such as Solana's decentralization issues and Ethereum's slow base-layer transactions.
