Building the First Solana Virtual Machine L2 on Ethereum


Listen Later

Imagine if you could combine the speed of a cheetah with the size of an elephant. Well in this episode, that's exactly what Eclipse Labs and their CEO, Vijay Chetty are trying to do.


In this episode   Ian Andrews (CMO, Chainalysis) speaks to Vijay about where his team got the idea to build Ethereum’s first Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) Layer 2.

Vijay discusses his long standing journey through crypto building and growing projects like Uniswap, dYdX and Ripple, prior to becoming the CEO of Eclipse Labs.

He breaks down Eclipse's strategy of transitioning from app-specific rollup solutions to general-purpose high-performance L2 and the growing demand for 99% of apps on the blockchain demanding higher performance and throughput.

He provides active use cases for the highly demanded  faster transaction per second (TPS) and how developers on both Ethereum and Solana could transition to Eclipse as they get set for their upcoming mainnet launch.
