Eclipse is the team behind the Ethereum SVM L2 project described on its official site as "Solana on Ethereum" and Ethereum's first SVM L2. The account operates as the hub for Eclipse ecosystem and community updates, run by the Eclipse Foundation, which was announced on January 20, 2025 and is responsible for growth and governance decentralization of the Eclipse protocol. Eclipse's TwitterScore is 267 out of 1000.
Eclipse was founded by Neel Somani, who started the project after leaving Citadel in 2022 and later pivoted it from rollup-as-a-service toward a single scalable L2 blockchain. The Eclipse Mainnet architecture uses Ethereum for settlement, the Solana Virtual Machine for execution, Celestia for data availability, RISC Zero for proving, and ETH as the gas token. Eclipse Mainnet opened to all users on November 7, 2024 with 60+ dApps and service providers available on day one. Eclipse is affiliated with the Eclipse Foundation, Eclipse Labs, and Human API, and is backed by Polychain, DBA, Maven11, Fenbushi, Tribe Capital, and Placeholder.
Somani led Eclipse to close a $50 million Series A fundraise in 2024, stepped back from CEO into Executive Chairman in a pre-planned transition, appointed Vijay Chetty to lead day-to-day operations, later appointed Sydney Huang as CEO, and departed as Executive Chairman at the end of 2025. Eclipse connected to Ethereum and Solana through Hyperlane in September 2024, enabling bridging of USDC, SOL and WIF between Eclipse, Ethereum and Solana at launch. Eclipse launched an Immunefi bug bounty program on September 18, 2024 with a maximum bounty of $1,000,000, with payouts denominated in USDC on Ethereum. The Eclipse Foundation announced on June 9, 2026 that there will be no new token for Human API and that $ES is the only token, with total supply fixed at 1,000,000,000 ES. The Foundation sold a portion of its treasury to fund ongoing operations and extend runway, and Human API's mobile app had grown to 100,000+ users who are net new to crypto.
