- Eclipse has launched a Rollups-powered scaling protocol to drive interoperability between Solana and Polygon.
- This new infrastructure is bound to complement the growth of both protocol’s native tokens.
Web3.0 startup Eclipse is launching a new functional Rollup-based scaling tool that will enable Solana (SOL) based projects to be interoperable with Polygon (MATIC) layer-2 protocol. According to a TechCrunch report, the Polygon Solana bridge, dubbed the Sealevel Virtual Machine (SVM), is designed to increase the speed and throughput of transactions across both chains.
Insight into the Eclipse Solution
The blockchain ecosystem has evolved a great deal over the past decade and one of the key features it showcases is the ability to interoperate. While fundamentally different from Solana being a Layer-1 protocol while Polygon is a Layer-2 built on Ethereum, both have a high-growth ecosystem filled with developers helping to push their boundaries.
With the interoperability feature from other chains to Ethereum well defined and adopted through the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) tool, Eclipse believes the chain-specific SVM can be a game changer for both communities. This will particularly benefit users who still need help with the slow speed and high cost of transactions on Ethereum.
Ethereum was obviously still really slow and still very expensive, so it was very obvious rollups were the path to scaling Ethereum.
said Neel Somani, founder of Eclipse.
So we were thinking, what if we made a highly parallelized rollup, but the difference is that we stick to a standard set of tooling that already exists like the Solana Virtual Machine or Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
The Rollup infrastructure being introduced will even offer a more advanced opportunity in that it will enable developers to make unique customizations that can offer additional functionalities for all users. Per the operational capabilities of the infrastructure, gamers and DeFi users will find it more useful.
According to Somani, gaming and other areas of blockchain innovations accounts for “the big areas we’ve been seeing demand for and it’s the areas where Polygon and Solana have been going after lately.”
He also noted that the current launch of the interoperability feature for Solana and Polygon is going to usher in additional scaling opportunities in the near future. Somani said
I think this hinges toward a future proliferation of all kinds of virtual machines across all these different base layers,[…]This might be one example of an SVM rollup, but we are likely to see SVM on Ethereum mainnet or SVM on other base layers.
Implication for SOL and MATIC
Solana (SOL) and MATIC are two of the biggest digital currencies by market capitalization and with the upcoming Eclipse solution, they will be among the biggest beneficiaries. When users can easily move assets around from one protocol to the other, there is bound to be an increased embrace of the native tokens which will be used as gas for some of the transactions.
This is a major selling point that might make the tokens explode especially when the Rollup scaling solution has grown to the point where it is now massively embraced by the public.
