"Eclipse is built to be Ethereum's fastest layer-2, leveraging the best pieces of the modular stack available today," said Neel Somani, Founder of Eclipse Labs. "Ethereum needs a single, scalable, composable layer-2 capable of handling the 99% of use cases. Other L2 ecosystems have only optimized for full EVM compatibility, resulting in a highly fragmented, slow and undifferentiated L2 landscape. Eclipse integrates the high-performance SVM with the deep pools of liquidity on Ethereum, while maintaining the hard constraint of verifiability.”
Eclipse Labs 创始人 Neel Somani 表示：“Eclipse 旨在成为以太坊最快的第 2 层，利用当今可用的模块化堆栈中最好的部分。“以太坊需要一个单一的、可扩展的、可组合的第 2 层，能够处理 99% 的用例。其他 L2 生态系统仅针对完整的 EVM 兼容性进行了优化，导致高度分散、缓慢且无差异的 L2 格局。Eclipse 将高性能 SVM 与以太坊上的深厚流动性池集成在一起，同时保持了可验证性的硬约束。

"Eclipse's launch will be the first of many harmonizations between Solana and Ethereum," says Tarun Chitra, Founder of Gauntlet and GP at Robot Ventures, an investor in Eclipse. "Neel and the team have spent a lot of time researching all of the technological and economic ways to try to get the best of both worlds when it comes to utilizing succinct proofs and fees.”
“Eclipse 的推出将是 Solana 和以太坊之间众多协调中的第一次，”Eclipse 的投资者 Robot Ventures 的 Gauntlet 创始人兼 GP Tarun Chitra 说。“Neel 和团队花了很多时间研究所有技术和经济方法，试图在使用简洁的证明和费用时两全其美。”
Since its mainnet architecture announcement in September 2023, Eclipse Labs has released Devnet and Testnet versions of the Eclipse protocol. Leading dApps from the Solana and Ethereum ecosystems are anticipated to deploy to Eclipse Mainnet, once publicly available, including NFT marketplace Rarible, oracle infrastructure Pyth Network, and Solana borrow-lend protocol Solend.
自 2023 年 9 月宣布主网架构以来，Eclipse Labs 发布了 Eclipse 协议的 Devnet 和 Testnet 版本。来自 Solana 和以太坊生态系统的领先 dApp 预计将部署到 Eclipse 主网，一旦公开发布，包括 NFT 市场 Rarible、预言机基础设施 Pyth Network 和 Solana 借贷协议 Solend。
