How to Bridge to Eclipse

Can I Bridge to Eclipse?

Yes, you can bridge assets to Eclipse using Ethereum-compatible cross-chain bridges. Eclipse, a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) based on Layer 2 on Ethereum, supports transfers of assets like ETH and USDC through wallets such as Backpack or MetaMask.

How to Bridge to Eclipse

The easiest way to bridge assets to Eclipse is with Orbiter Finance, a top cross-chain protocol trusted by thousands of users. Handling over $1.5 billion in monthly volume, it’s one of the most reliable platforms for transferring assets like ETH, USDC, and DAI across 30+ chains, including Eclipse, Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and Solana.

Here is a quick guide to bridging to Eclipse based on our testing:

1. Connect Your Wallet: Open Orbiter Finance and link your Eclipse and EVM wallets.
2. Choose Networks and Tokens: Set your current network as the source and Eclipse as the destination. Select your token.
3. Enter and Approve Amount: Specify the amount to transfer and approve the transaction in your wallet.
4. Confirm the Transfer: Finalize the transaction on Orbiter Finance. Assets typically arrive within minutes.

What are the Fees?

Bridging to Eclipse with Orbiter Finance incurs a flat fee of 0.0005 ETH (around $1–$2), plus gas fees based on the source network:

• Ethereum Mainnet: Gas fees range from $5 to $10 due to higher network usage.
• Layer 2 Networks (e.g., Arbitrum): Gas fees are typically under $1.
• Alternative Layer 1s (e.g., Solana): Gas fees are often less than $1.

Eclipse’s SVM-based architecture keeps fees low and ensures efficient transaction processing.

Alternative Eclipse Bridges

Several secure and efficient options are available for bridging assets to Eclipse:

• Eclipse Canonical Bridge: The safest and most reliable option for bridging assets to Eclipse, offering direct transfers with full integration into Eclipse’s SVM-based infrastructure.
• Relay Bridge: Ideal for Ethereum Layer 2 transfers, Relay Bridge ensures fast and low-cost asset movement with compatibility across multiple chains.

These solutions provide secure, flexible pathways for connecting to Eclipse, leveraging its high-speed SVM execution and Ethereum's robust settlement layer.

About Eclipse

Eclipse is the first Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) Layer 2 on Ethereum, combining Solana’s parallel execution capabilities with Ethereum’s security and liquidity.

It uses Ethereum for settlement, Celestia for scalable data availability, and RISC Zero for efficient ZK fraud proofs. Eclipse supports SVM and EVM environments, enabling high throughput, low fees, and seamless dApp deployment with cross-chain composability.

Bottom Line

Bridging to Eclipse is simple and cost-effective with options like Orbiter Finance, the Eclipse Canonical Bridge, or Relay Bridge. 

Orbiter is best for transfers from non-Ethereum chains, while the Canonical Bridge offers the highest security for Ethereum-to-Eclipse transfers. Both options leverage Eclipse’s SVM design for fast and low-cost transactions.
