Blockchain company Eclipse Labs raised $50 million ahead of its imminent mainnet launch, blending Solana and Ethereum technologies. CEO Neel Somani, silent on the firm’s current valuation, emphasized scaling Ethereum using Solana speed with Ethereum security. The funding will facilitate hiring and research for mainnet development. Eclipse plans to attract Solana-based apps, including Solend, fostering collaboration. The mainnet will initially target developers, with governance decentralization and potential token involvement in the future.
