The majority of Ethereum rollups are based on the EVM, with parallel execution still a distant goal. However, Eclipse integrates the Solana Virtual Machine, offering deterministic parallelism and localized fee markets. Eclipse’s design diverges from traditional rollups, providing a unique approach to scalability and congestion control.

Eclipse utilizes ZK-accelerated fraud proofs with RISC Zero, streamlining dispute resolution in a succinct proof submission. This approach enhances security by placing disputed computations in a zk-proving environment, maintaining the incentive model of optimistic rollups. The system also includes a bond mechanism for challengers, ensuring economic consequences for incorrect challenges.

Eclipse aims to achieve Stage-2 classification, meeting requirements for permissionless fraud proofs and upgrade rules. Recent upgrades, like the ZK data-availability challenge subsystem, enhance data verification on Ethereum. By combining a high-performance SVM runtime with Ethereum settlement assurances, Eclipse explores new possibilities in rollup design, potentially redefining the status quo.
