Eclipse is a layer 2 blockchain that settles on Ethereum but executes transactions with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). In practice, that means apps are built in the Solana style, not as EVM smart contracts, while Ethereum provides the settlement layer. The aim is to offer Solana-like execution with a different security and scaling setup. Wallets and tools made for Solana are the natural fit here, not Ethereum-only ones.
Our data lists ES as the native token. Eclipse has also been described as using ETH to pay transaction fees, so check which token your wallet asks for before you send anything. DeFi activity is small: total value locked is about $39,001 at the time of writing, and that figure changes daily. Expect thin liquidity and be careful with larger trades.
The 11 dApps we track on Eclipse are mostly multichain projects that deploy here alongside Solana. Invariant, a concentrated-liquidity DEX, and Orca Defi, a Solana DEX, cover trading and liquidity provision. Save, formerly Solend, is a lending and borrowing protocol. Dscvr is a Web3 social platform, and Skate AMM aims to share liquidity across chains. Backpack, an exchange and wallet app, also appears on the list, though its large TVL comes mostly from outside Eclipse.

Blockchain for Data: Uses, Limits and How It WorksBlockchains can create shared records that are difficult to alter, but they are not a general-purpose replacement for databases or file storage. Learn what belongs on-chain, how blockchains connect to outside data, and when the trade-offs make sense.

How the Bitcoin Lightning Network WorksThe Bitcoin Lightning Network moves payments through channels that sit on top of Bitcoin, so most transfers do not need their own blockchain transaction. Learn how channels, routing, fees and liquidity work, and what to consider before using Lightning.

How to Mine Cryptocurrency on Android in 2026Android phones can run mining software, but their limited processing power, battery drain and heat make profitable mining unlikely. Learn how to assess the risks, try a small proof-of-work experiment safely, and spot apps that only simulate mining or sell cloud contracts.
Eclipse FAQs
What is Eclipse?
Eclipse is a layer 2 network that settles to Ethereum but runs programs with the Solana Virtual Machine. Developers can use Solana-style tooling while the chain borrows security from Ethereum. It is not an EVM chain.
Is Eclipse an EVM chain?
Eclipse is not EVM-compatible. It uses the Solana Virtual Machine, so apps are written for Solana's programming model. Ethereum-style wallets and contracts do not work there without extra tooling.
What token do I need to pay fees on Eclipse?
Eclipse has been described as using ETH to pay gas fees, while ES is the network's native token in our data. Check the current fee token and fee level in your wallet before you transact. Fees can change with network conditions.
How much value is locked on Eclipse?
Our data shows Eclipse DeFi TVL of about $39,001 at the time of writing, which is very small. The figure moves daily, and several apps listed here hold most of their funds on other chains. Treat the low number as a sign of thin liquidity.
Which dApps are available on Eclipse?
Our list includes Backpack, Save, Skate AMM, Invariant, Orca Defi and Dscvr. They cover exchange and wallet services, lending, DEX trading and social content. Many also run on Solana or other chains, so check which network you are connected to.
What are the main risks of using Eclipse dApps?
Smart contracts can have bugs, and thin liquidity can mean wide spreads and price slippage on swaps. Bridges between chains add risk too. Start with small amounts, confirm the network and contract before you sign, and only use funds you can afford to lose.
