A Solana VM-based Ethereum Layer 2 testnet using ECLPS, Eclipse enables high-throughput, low-fee execution via Sealevel parallelization and Celestia data availability for dApp testing.
Eclipse Testnet is a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM)–powered, Ethereum‑settled test network that uses the ECLPS token to let teams trial high‑throughput apps safely. It features parallel Sealevel execution for sub‑second blocks, bursts of 1k+ TPS, and sub‑cent gas, making it ideal for testing DeFi, gaming, payments, and cross‑chain bridging. Live fees, block times, TPS, and activity can be monitored on the public status/explorer via http://eclipsenet.io.
Eclipse stands out by combining Solana‑style parallel execution with Ethereum settlement and a modular data‑availability layer, delivering Solana‑like speed with L2 security. Compared with typical EVM L2s that have multi‑second blocks and cent‑level fees, Eclipse testnet targets sub‑second block times, sub‑cent gas, and higher sustained TPS, maintaining performance even during activity spikes. Native Ethereum interoperability simplifies liquidity and bridging while proofs verify state back to Ethereum.
Eclipse Testnet uses ECLPS as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ECLPS by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge ECLPS to Eclipse Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Eclipse Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Eclipse Testnet you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Eclipse Testnet to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send ECLPS on Eclipse Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Eclipse Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ECLPS to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
