Eclipse: Combining Ethereum's Security with Solana's High Performance

Eclipse is a modular blockchain platform that combines Ethereum‘s security with Solana’s high performance, offering a scalable environment for decentralized applications (dApps) and potential airdrops for early users.

Eclipse is a modular blockchain platform that combines the security of Ethereum with the high performance of Solana, aiming to provide a scalable environment for decentralized applications (dApps) and potential airdrops for early users.

This article will guide you through the steps to start using Eclipse, exploring its unique features and engaging with the ecosystem to maximize your chances of collecting Grass Points for future airdrop eligibility.

What is Eclipse? Key Features

Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) Execution: Utilizing the SVM, Eclipse ensures rapid transaction processing, enabling developers to port Solana applications with minimal changes, expanding the available dApps on the network.

Ethereum Settlement Layer: By leveraging Ethereum’s robust security and established infrastructure, Eclipse provides a reliable settlement layer for transaction finalization, offering a high degree of trust and safety.

Scalable Data Availability: Eclipse employs Celestia for efficient data management, reducing storage costs and facilitating easier verification of transactions and state changes.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Incorporating RISC Zero’s zero-knowledge proving mechanism, adds an additional security layer by generating cryptographic proofs to verify the validity of transactions and state transitions.

Get Ready to Use Eclipse

To start using Eclipse, you need to set up a Backpack wallet:

Once you have your Backpack wallet, you can transfer assets from other blockchains using Hyperlane:

Minting tETH on Eclipse

Turbo Ethereum (tETH) is a restaking token native to the Eclipse network. Here’s how to mint tETH:

Lending and Borrowing on Eclipse

Astrol Finance

The first native lending protocol on Eclipse, having surpassed $15 million in total value locked and 80,000 users. Supply assets such as ETH, stETH, or A tokens to earn interest or borrow against your collateral.

EnsoFi

A cross-chain lending protocol that allows you to supply assets to earn yield and borrow against collateral across Solana, Sui, and Eclipse. You can also use EnsoFi to perform cross-chain arbitrage.

Earning Grass Points with Turbo Tap

Turbo Tap is a gamified platform where you can earn Grass Points through interactive participation in mini-games and activities designed to introduce the Eclipse ecosystem.

Here’s how to earn Grass Points passively:

You can also earn Grass Points actively by interacting with dApps and participating in community initiatives.

By actively engaging with the Eclipse ecosystem and its diverse dApps, you can not only enhance your blockchain experience but also maximize your chances of collecting Grass Points and potentially qualify for future airdrops.
