Like other Layer 2 Ethereum rollups, Eclipse allows people to transact on Ethereum faster and with lower fees. To accomplish this, it operates as its own network written using Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) is a fast and cheap execution architecture led by Solana, Ethereum's biggest competitor. Like other Layer 2s, Eclipse bundles transactions from users and periodically passes them to the underlying Ethereum chain, where they are permanently fixed on the chain's ledger.
