Thread168 words
Breaks down Eclipse as a modular SVM rollup combining Solana's parallel execution, Ethereum-based state validation and Celestia's cheap DA. Cites a $65M raise and a 38% share of all data posted to Celestia before mainnet.
Key claims
Eclipse raised $65M, with a Series A led by Hack VC and Placeholder accounting for $50M
Eclipse accounts for 38% of all data posted to Celestia (over 36GB)
Mainnet expected in October
Eclipse Mainnet: Everything in October. 🌑 ✨
@EclipseFND is a modular SVM rollup on Ethereum with @CelestiaOrg underneath.
Its unique architecture combines:
✦ Speed of @solana's parallel SVM
✦ Security of Ethereum-based state validation
✦ Low fees of @CelestiaOrg's DA layer
Eclipse raised a total $65M with a recent Series A round led by @hack_vc and @placeholdervc alone accounting for $50M in funding.
Other prominent investors include @dba_crypto, @Delphi_Digital, @polychaincap, @PolygonVentures, @tribecap and more.
Already before public mainnet, it accounts for 38% of all data posted to Celestia (over 36GB). For more details, see the @celenium_io screenshot below.
Being able to leverage the already existing SVM mindshare and expanding that into the Celestia / Ethereum space, @EclipseFND managed to successfully bootstrap a vibrant ecosystems of apps and builders.
Have a look at the below ecosystem map for more info.
Mainnet (very) soon.
Alfa was promised to drop within the next hours too.
Stay tuned.
DYOR.
