Imagine if you could combine the speed of a cheetah with the size of an elephant. Well in this episode, that’s exactly what Eclipse Labs ( and their CEO, Vijay Chetty ( are trying to do.
In this episode Ian Andrews ( (CMO, Chainalysis) speaks to Vijay about where his team got the idea to build Ethereum’s first Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) Layer 2.
Vijay discusses his long standing journey through crypto building and growing projects like Uniswap, dYdX and Ripple, prior to becoming the CEO of Eclipse Labs.
He breaks down Eclipse’s strategy of transitioning from app-specific rollup solutions to general-purpose high-performance L2 and the growing demand for 99% of apps on the blockchain demanding higher performance and throughput.
He provides active use cases for the highly demanded faster transaction per second (TPS) and how developers on both Ethereum and Solana could transition to Eclipse as they get set for their upcoming mainnet launch.

I’d like to add that Vijay’s background in building and growing projects like Uniswap, dYdX, and Ripple is impressive. Did you know that Ripple, a decentralized payments network, was founded in 2012 by Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb? Early this year, they celebrated a major milestone – processing over $10 trillion in transactions! It’s amazing to think about the impact Ripple has had on the global financial system.
Regarding the episode topic, I was thrilled to hear Vijay discuss Eclipse’s strategy and the growing demand for high-performance L2 solutions. The idea of combining the speed of a cheetah with the size of an elephant is indeed intriguing. It’ll be exciting to see how Eclipse’s Solana Virtual Machine L2 impacts the space.
Overall, this episode provided valuable insights into the minds of our industry leaders and the future of blockchain and crypto. Keep up the fantastic work, and I’m looking forward to hearing more stories like Vijay’s!

What I found most impressive was Vijay’s discussion of the growing demand for 99% of apps on the blockchain demanding higher performance and throughput. It’s clear that Eclipse Labs is committed to meeting this demand and providing a solution that can scale with the rapidly growing appetite for blockchain technology.
I look forward to hearing more about Eclipse’s journey and seeing the impact they have on the blockchain space!

I’d like to share a fascinating story about one of the subjects of the context – Ripple, a decentralized payments network founded in 2012 by Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb. Did you know that Ripple has been quietly processing over $10 trillion in transactions since its inception? That’s a staggering number, and a testament to the power of blockchain technology!
Imagine, if you will, a world where international financial transactions are as seamless as sending a text message. That’s what Ripple aims to achieve, and I believe Eclipse Labs’ Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) Layer 2 will play a significant role in making this vision a reality.
Kudos to Vijay and his team for their innovation and dedication to pushing the boundaries of blockchain technology! I’m excited to see the impact their work will have on the industry.
