The Eclipse Foundation announced that the Eclipse mainnet is now open to developers. In the coming days, Eclipse will invite developers to deploy projects on the mainnet and participate in hackathons.
Eclipse is the first SVM Layer2 solution based on Ethereum, combining Solana's high-speed performance with Ethereum's liquidity, providing developers with a unique platform where they can easily and securely deploy their dapps to Eclipse.
The "Total Eclipse Challenge" hackathon will be held from August 7 to 21, with a total prize of nearly $50,000. The event will also provide presentations, workshops, and guidance from world-class judges and mentors.
The Eclipse team said that although the mainnet is still in training mode, they are committed to transitioning to a more decentralized stage as soon as possible and providing permissionless fraud proofs and bridges with minimized trust. Eclipse expects to be the best performing Layer2 solution on Ethereum.
