Episode notes

The chapter dives into the Eclipse project and its implementation of SVM L2 on Ethereum, explaining the advantages of using the Solana virtual machine over the EVM in terms of speed, performance, and execution environment design. It discusses the key differences between SVM and EVM, the benefits of Layer 2 solutions over Layer 1, and the technology stack being utilized. Additionally, it explores the user experience, integration with wallets, bridging capabilities, value proposition for developers, and strategies for competing in the roll-ups space.

In this episode, Terry and Ren from Eclipse joined us to discuss how they are building Ethereum’s first SVM L2. We covered why they chose to bring the SVM to Ethereum, design decisions made along the way, and how they plan to onboard developers. Finally, we dive into sequencer design, and the future of rollups.
