Eclipse to launch Solana-compatible Polygon SVM

Eclipse announced its plans to release Polygon SVM, a Layer 2 blockchain that will allow Solana developers to port their dapps to Polygon without reconfiguring the applications to run on the Ethereum Virtual Machine.

In the words of Neel Somani, founder of Eclipse, “The Polygon SVM assists Solana developers in migrating their apps to Polygon because it can natively run Solana smart contracts. You can keep all of your smart contracts the same and deploy them directly to Polygon SVM.”

Eclipse, a provider of customizable rollups, announced its plans to release Polygon SVM, a Layer 2 blockchain that is compatible with Solana (SOL) smart contracts.

The partnership between Eclipse and Polygon (MATIC) will allow Solana developers to port their dapps to Polygon without reconfiguring the app to run on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). 

According to Somani, developing games and apps on the Ethereum (ETH) network is a tedious and expensive process. Thus, the Eclipse team will create rollups to mitigate the issues associated with scaling dapps on Ethereum. 

“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.”

Somani said Eclipse chose to develop Polygon SVM due to the high demand for interoperability between Solana and Polygon networks. The project will use cross-chain bridges and Avail, Polygon’s scalable blockchain, to allow Solana-based dapps to become easily deployable on Polygon.

Eclipse will launch the Polygon SVM testnet in Q1 2023. The fully-operational mainnet will be released in the second quarter of the year.
