Eclipse Bridge Review 2026: Moving ETH to an SVM Layer 2

Eclipse Bridge is the canonical route for moving assets from Ethereum to Eclipse, an Ethereum layer 2 that runs the Solana Virtual Machine. TVL is about $5.1 million and no audits are listed, so treat it as an early-stage bridge.

Our verdict on Eclipse Bridge

6.0/10

Eclipse Bridge suits users and developers who want to reach the Eclipse SVM layer 2 from Ethereum and are comfortable with early-stage infrastructure. Its main strength is a clear purpose as the canonical route, backed by a live, regularly updated project. The main caveat is that DefiLlama lists no audits, TVL is only about $5.1 million, and bridge fees and withdrawal times are not published publicly. Test with a small amount first.

What is Eclipse Bridge?

Eclipse Bridge is the canonical bridge for Eclipse, a network that calls itself Ethereum's first SVM layer 2. It lets users move assets from Ethereum onto Eclipse, which runs the Solana Virtual Machine while settling on Ethereum.

DefiLlama lists it in the Canonical Bridge category on Ethereum, with about $5.1 million in TVL, a 3.2% rise over seven days, and a token with the ticker ES. DefiLlama shows no audits for the listing.

The homepage promotes Eclipse for DeFi, gaming and consumer apps. It also lists regular newsletters, a Creator Fund announcement and an updated ES tokenomics post. The site is live and appears actively maintained.

How Eclipse Bridge works

Eclipse is a layer 2 network that settles on Ethereum but executes transactions with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). The idea is to pair Solana-style execution speed with Ethereum's liquidity and security base. The homepage describes it as 'Solana on Ethereum'.

A canonical bridge is the official route for moving assets between Ethereum and a layer 2. You deposit on Ethereum, the bridge contracts hold or lock the assets, and the same value becomes available on the layer 2. Withdrawals reverse the process. Since the bridge contracts hold the deposited assets, their security matters a lot.

On DefiLlama, Eclipse Bridge is tracked on Ethereum with about $5.1 million in TVL. That is the value held by the bridge. It is not a measure of activity on Eclipse itself.

6 features

Key features

Canonical Ethereum bridge

Listed on DefiLlama as a canonical bridge, meaning it is the project's own route for moving assets between Ethereum and Eclipse.

SVM execution layer

Eclipse runs the Solana Virtual Machine, so developers can use Solana-style execution while settling on Ethereum.

Low estimated fees

The homepage cites an estimated transaction fee of $0.0002 on the network.

Ecosystem for apps

The site points to DeFi, gaming and consumer apps, including onchain game frameworks and 2D engines.

Developer resources

The homepage links to developer docs and a 'Start building' path for teams deploying on Eclipse.

Active announcements

The team publishes a regular newsletter called Everything Eclipse and announcements such as the Eclipse Creator Fund.

Pros and cons

What we like

It is the project's canonical route for moving assets from Ethereum to Eclipse.
It combines SVM execution with settlement on Ethereum, which suits teams that want Solana-style tooling.
The homepage estimates very low transaction fees on Eclipse.
The team publishes regular updates, docs, a developer path and ecosystem resources.
The bridge's TVL shows up on a public tracker, so users can check it independently.

Watch out for

DefiLlama lists no audits for the bridge, and the project does not say whether any audits exist elsewhere.
TVL of about $5.1 million is small for a bridge that holds user funds.
Bridge fees and withdrawal times are not stated publicly.
The homepage makes performance claims such as 'fastest layer 2' without supporting benchmarks.
Terms of Service must be accepted before the site can be used, and the site shows a cookie consent banner.
The ES tokenomics announcement on the homepage is described only briefly, so its effect on holders is unclear.

Eclipse Bridge fees

Bridge fees are not published publicly. Moving funds from Ethereum will involve normal Ethereum network gas, which varies with congestion, and the bridge interface should show costs before you confirm.

The homepage estimates a transaction fee of $0.0002 on Eclipse itself. That is a marketing estimate rather than a guaranteed figure. Check the bridge screen and the official docs for the current costs.

Is Eclipse Bridge safe?

DefiLlama lists zero audits for Eclipse Bridge. That does not prove none exist, but the project does not name any auditor or report, so users should look for audit material in the official docs.

Any bridge carries smart-contract risk, because the contracts hold deposited assets. It also carries operational risk from the upgrade keys, sequencer and withdrawal setup of the layer 2. The project does not describe these, so check them in the docs. Bridge TVL of about $5.1 million is modest.

The site requires acceptance of its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before use. The project does not cover regulatory status or past incidents. Only bridge funds you can afford to lose, and start with a small amount.

6 steps

How to get started with Eclipse Bridge

1
Open the official Eclipse site and read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before accepting them.
2
Check that online crypto services are permitted where you live.
3
Use a wallet that supports Ethereum and the Eclipse network, and keep some ETH for gas.
4
Open the Bridge page and pick the asset and amount to move to Eclipse.
5
Review the fees and estimated time shown, then confirm the transaction in your wallet.
6
Start with a small test amount, and check the withdrawal process before moving more.

Who Eclipse Bridge is for

Eclipse Bridge is for Ethereum users who want to try apps on Eclipse and for developers who want SVM tooling alongside Ethereum liquidity. It is less suited to anyone who needs a bridge with a long audit history or a very large TVL.

Eclipse Bridge FAQs

What is Eclipse Bridge?

Eclipse is described as Ethereum's first SVM layer 2, meaning it settles on Ethereum but executes transactions with the Solana Virtual Machine. The bridge is how users move assets from Ethereum onto it.

How much value is locked in Eclipse Bridge?

DefiLlama lists Eclipse Bridge in the Canonical Bridge category on Ethereum, with about $5.1 million in TVL. That figure moves with deposits and prices, so check the live number.

Has Eclipse Bridge been audited?

DefiLlama shows zero audits for the listing. The project does not say whether audits exist outside that data, so check the official docs before depositing.

Does Eclipse have a token?

Public sources name a token with the ticker ES. The homepage mentions an announcement of updated ES tokenomics and calls ES the token for Human API. Read the original announcement for the details.

What does it cost to use Eclipse?

The homepage estimates a transaction fee of $0.0002 on Eclipse. Fees for the bridge itself, such as Ethereum gas on deposits, are not published publicly. The bridge interface should show costs before you confirm.

How long do withdrawals take?

The project does not give withdrawal times. Many layer 2 bridges have delays when moving funds back to Ethereum, so confirm the timing in the official docs before bridging a large amount.
