Eclipse pioneers the first Neon Stack integration, bringing EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatibility to SVM (Solana Virtual Machine) networks.
—
Eclipse, driven by the vision of blending Ethereum and Solana’s strengths, aims to redefine the blockchain landscape. By incorporating SVM capabilities, Eclipse seeks to harness Solana’s high transaction throughput within Ethereum’s ecosystem.
At the heart of this transformative endeavor lies Neon Stack—a battle-tested technology suite developed by the core Neon EVM team. Neon Stack standardizes development processes, facilitating seamless EVM compatibility for smart contract developers on SVM-based blockchain networks, as envisaged by Eclipse for its SVM L2.
Neon Stack, comprising Neon EVM smart contracts and Neon Proxy, has already demonstrated its prowess on Solana’s mainnet since July 2023. It has successfully migrated numerous Ethereum-native Solidity dApps to Solana, offering improved scalability and efficiency.
With Eclipse onboard as a strategic partner, this collaboration represents a significant leap forward in enhancing blockchain interoperability and scalability, streamlining infrastructure implementation for developers seeking to leverage SVM capabilities within Ethereum-native dApps.
“With Neon Stack, we are paving the way for high-performance, scalable dApps infrastructure that transcends the limitations of traditional blockchain architectures and redefines computational efficiency. We are pleased to see Eclipse as the first industry partner to utilize the Neon tech stack.”
Davide Menegaldo, CCO Neon EVM
Growing and scaling the blockchain economy cannot be accomplished by any single entity or protocol. Collaboration is critical for longer-term success in creating a multi-chain, decentralized future, and this first-of-its-kind partnership will open many doors. Both partners envision a future marked by unparalleled throughput and scalability.
Neel Somani, Founder of Eclipse Labs, a software firm contributing to the development of the Eclipse network, adds, “Eclipse’s integration with Neon Stack will allow developers to seamlessly deploy their dApps from EVM chains to Eclipse, further strengthening the harmonization between Solana and Ethereum. Solidity developers that want to build on a high-performance L2 that uniquely utilizes the strengths of the SVM can finally do so.”
With over 13,000 dApps on Ethereum, and only a fraction cross-chained to Solana, this collaboration presents a significant opportunity for developers. By leveraging the unique strengths of both Ethereum and Solana ecosystems, developers can build high-quality dApps that capitalize on the best of both worlds.
In the coming months, stakeholders can anticipate deployment, testing, and optimization of this pioneering integration, unlocking unprecedented possibilities for blockchain scalability and interoperability.

About Neon EVM
Neon EVM is an Ethereum Virtual Machine on Solana that allows developers to scale Ethereum dApps using Solana as the settlement layer. It operates as a smart contract on Solana that accepts transaction requests via public RPC endpoints. It gives developers the power to deploy Ethereum dApps directly with minimal reconfiguration to the code while benefiting from Solana’s technical advantages such as parallel processing.

About Eclipse
The Eclipse network is Ethereum’s fastest L2, powered by the Solana Virtual Machine. Eclipse combines the best pieces of the modular stack, utilizing Ethereum for settlement, the Solana Virtual Machine for execution, Celestia for data availability, and RISC Zero for proving. This novel architecture enables a high-performance L2, with access to Ethereum’s liquidity, while maintaining the hard constraint of verifiability. Eclipse gives developers a general-purpose L2 capable of massive scale that can power the next generation of decentralized applications.
