Hyperlane is now live on Eclipse, connecting it to Ethereum and Solana. This enables Eclipse to interoperate with two of the largest ecosystems in crypto, and it allows users to bridge assets from these two chains into a bustling ecosystem.

Key Takeaways

  1. Eclipse is now connected to Ethereum and Solana through Hyperlane. The Hyperlane Eclipse bridge will enable USDC, SOL, and WIF to be bridged between Eclipse, Ethereum, and Solana.
  2. More assets will be supported through Hyperlane, including Eclipse’s Unified Restaking Token, tETH.
  3. Hyperlane will enable Eclipse to build an ecosystem that sits at the intersection of Ethereum and Solana assets. 

Hyperlane and the SVM Expansion

Hyperlane is a permissionless interoperability layer that allows smart contract developers to send arbitrary data between blockchains. Today, over 50+ chains are integrated into Hyperlane, and Eclipse core contributors worked closely with Hyperlane to help adapt Hyperlane into the SVM. Through the deep technical efforts from both teams, Hyperlane now supports SVM chains such as Eclipse, also enabling Hyperlane to support Solana. In addition, Hyperlane will add support for permissionless expansion to all future SVM chains.

Powering Assets on Eclipse

Assets are the lifeblood of any crypto ecosystem. Eclipse, Ethereum’s first SVM L2, is building an ecosystem at the intersection of two of the largest and most diverse asset bases in crypto today. 

Eclipse will be the hub between Ethereum and Solana, and more importantly, the assets ETH and SOL. An interoperability solution like Hyperlane enables this future. 

Through Hyperlane, users will be able to bridge the following assets between the following chains at launch.

  1. USDC - Ethereum <> Eclipse
  2. SOL - Solana <> Eclipse
  3. USDC - Solana <> Eclipse
  4. WIF - Solana <> Eclipse. 

More assets will be supported in the future.

The future of DeFi and assets on Eclipse is not only limited to ETH and SOL. It includes assets such as USDC bridged from Ethereum or Solana, memecoins, protocol tokens, LSTs, and LRTs. 

One example of this is tETH, the first Unified Restaking Token being launched by Eclipse. It combines the largest yield-generating protocols on Ethereum into one easy-to-use default yield token without the complexity of fragmented liquidity. tETH is just one of the assets that will be part of Eclipse’s LRT hub being bridged through Hyperlane, with other LRTs and LSTs coming in the near future.

The Future

Eclipse will support more assets  between Ethereum, Solana and Eclipse via Hyperlane, enabling assets to be utilized in turbocharged DeFi dApps that push the frontiers of what is possible onchain. Crypto does not have a blockchain that sits at the intersection of Ethereum and Solana, until today. 

Eclipse

Eclipse is Ethereum's first L2 powered by the Solana Virtual Machine, combining the speed of Solana with the liquidity of Ethereum. This novel architecture enables a high-performance L2, with access to Ethereum's liquidity, while maintaining the hard constraint of verifiability. Eclipse gives developers a general-purpose L2 capable of massive scale that can power the next generation of decentralized applications.
