🚀 Eclipse Labs has raised $50 million in funding and is counting the days to open the mainnet to developers! 😂 This will be a “net boost” for both ecosystems, according to CEO Neel Somani, who declined to share the valuation of the company that is building a blockchain using Solana parts to scale Ethereum. 🌐

🔜 Eclipse aims to deliver speed and security by combining the best of Solana and Ethereum. Applications built for Solana will be able to run in Eclipse, with SOL being the token for the region. 🚅💪

🤝 In launching its mainnet, Eclipse said Solana protocols have agreed to operate on Eclipse, including its lending platform Solend. “I think it's a good bet,” said Rooter, the anonymous developer behind Solend. 🎉

👩‍💻 The mainnet launch will be for developers only, which means Eclipse will not initially build a user-friendly bridge where users can easily move money. However, Somani said Eclipse is committed to decentralizing its management over time and leaving big decisions to stakeholders. 🔮

🤔 He remained mum on whether Eclipse would airdrop a token, but acknowledged that tokens are an accepted part of decentralizing governance in crypto projects. 🤐

So what do you think? Will Eclipse Labs succeed by bringing together the Ethereum and Solana ecosystems? We are waiting your comments! 🗣️
