Eclipse Airdrop

Updated November 21, 2024

About Eclipse

Eclipse is an Ethereum Layer 2 solution powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), aimed to merge Ethereum’s liquidity with Solana’s high-performance execution. Using a modular stack, Eclipse settles transactions on Ethereum with a validating bridge while executes transactions on Solana’s Virtual Machine for scalability. Eclipse design ensures the network’s data availability through Celestia, while utilizing RISC Zero for ZK proofs of fraud without intermediate state serialization.

Why we choose Eclipse?

Eclipse is an innovative Layer 2 that combines the advantages of Ethereum and Solana. They have raised an impressive $65M funding from various capitals, including Polychain Capital, Delphi Ventures, and P2 Ventures.

Recently, Eclipse has launched their Mainnet and official bridge, allowing users to bridge funds into and interact with the network. This presents an exciting opportunity to begin farming Eclipse to secure potential airdrops.

Eclipse Airdrop Guide

Airdrop Eligibility

  • Interact with Eclipse ecosystem
  • Mint tETH
  • Complete Eclipse Intract tasks

How to get Eclipse Airdrop?

To qualify for the potential Eclipse airdrop, you will need to interact with their network in multiple ways:

  • Interact with Eclipse ecosystem
  • Mint tETH (from Ethereum Mainnet)
  • Hold NFTs on Eclipse (optional)
  • Complete Eclipse Intract tasks

Note: Eclipse has not announced any airdrop or token details, so this guide is purely speculation and might not guarantee airdrop. Proceed at your own risk.

Deadline: TBD.

How to earn Eclipse Airdrop: Interact with Eclipse ecosystem + Mint tETH + Hold NFTs on Eclipse (optional) + Complete Eclipse Intract tasks.

The Eclipse Network uses Solana-based addresses, but utilizes ETH as their gas token. This guide will walk you through various interactions with Eclipse ecosystem projects, with the main goal to increase your on-chain footprint.

Before starting, make sure to prepare at least 50-100$ in ETH on the Ethereum Mainnet. The more funds you use, the better.

#1: Set up wallet:

To begin, you will need a wallet that supports the Eclipse Network. We recommend using Backpack Wallet since they offer support for both Solana and EVM addresses.

Visit the Backpack Wallet Extension page and install it. Create a new account or import your seed phrase (from a Solana wallet like Phantom or Magic Eden Wallet).

Next, open your Backpack Wallet, click on the network icon and choose Eclipse. If Eclipse is not visible on the menu, simply click on Add Network and add it.

#2: Bridge to Eclipse:

There are 3 main ways to get funds into the Eclipse Network:

  • Eclipse’s Official Bridge: from Ethereum (recommended).
  • UseNexus bridge: from Solana, Celestia, and Stride.
  • Relay Bridge: from many popular Layer 2s (cheapest). 

We recommend using the official bridge if this is your first time bridging into Eclipse, as this might be a criterion in the future Eclipse airdrop. 

For smaller or latter transfers, use the Relay Bridge for minimum network fees.

Official Eclipse Bridge (Ethereum only):

Visit the Eclipse Bridge to connect your wallets: an EVM wallet as bridge origin, and the Backpack Wallet as bridge destination. Enter the bridge amount and click on Deposit.

Each transfer using the Official Eclipse Bridge will cost 2$ at 10 gWei. You can check Ethereum gas price here

UseNexus bridge (Solana, Celestia, Stride):

Note: Bridge in other assets (not ETH) might leave you with no gas on Eclipse.

Visit UseNexus, connect your wallets, and choose bridge origin. Enter your desired amount, click on Self, and click on Continue.

Relay Bridge (cheapest):

We recommend using the Relay Bridge since it offer very cheap transfers to Eclipse.

Visit Relay Bridge and connect both your EVM and Backpack wallet. Choose your bridge origin, enter the amount, and click on Trade.

Each transfer using Relay Bridge should cost around $0.1-0.3.

#3: Interact with Eclipse ecosystem:

There are various ecosystem projects on Eclipse that you can interact with.

The more funds you use interacting with these projects, the higher your chances in the potential Eclipse airdrop.

DEXs:

  • Orca: Swap between tokens, provide liquidity.
  • SolarDex: Swap between tokens, provide liquidity.
  • Invariant: Swap between tokens, provide liquidity.
  • Lifinity: Swap between tokens.

#4: Bridge out from Eclipse:

Currently, Eclipse’s official bridge does not support withdrawal. However, you can use these 3rd party bridges:

Turbo ETH (tETH) is Eclipse’s Unified Restaking Token, which allows holders to earn a unified yield from various LRT protocol rewards. Minting and holding tETH might be beneficial in the future Eclipse airdrop. 

Currently, you can get tETH by minting from the Ethereum Mainnet (using the official website), or swap using DEXs on Eclipse.
Note that minting tETH from the Ethereum Mainnet will not provide you with gas fees on Eclipse. You will need to also bridge some ETH over following step II.2.

#1: Mint tETH from Ethereum Mainnet (recommended):

To mint tETH using the official website, you will need one of the following assets:

  • wETH
  • weETH
  • ezETH
  • apxETH
  • rswETH
  • pufETH

Visit Jumper Exchange and connect your wallet. Swap your funds to any of the required tokens on the Ethereum Mainnet. We recommend swapping to wETH (wrapped Ethereum).

Next, head to the tETH website to connect both your EVM and Backpack wallet. Choose your desired asset to deposit, enter the amount, and click on Mint. Minted tETH will appear on your Backpack Wallet after 5 minutes.

Minting tETH from the Ethereum Mainnet will cost around 12$ for 2 transactions (Approve and Deposit) at 10 gWei. You can check Ethereum gas prices here.

#2: Swap tETH on Orca:

Another way to obtain tETH is to swap on Orca, a DEX on the Eclipse Network.

Make sure that you have already funds on Eclipse and visit Orca to connect your wallet. Enter the amount to swap and click on Trade.

#3: Provide Liquidity using tETH (optional):

You can hold tETH in your wallet, or provide liquidity on Orca. This is entirely optional.

Visit the Orca Pools page and click on the tETH/ETH pair. Enter your desired deposit amount and click on Deposit.

#4: Withdraw tETH:

Currently, Eclipse does not allow Redeeming tETH to the Ethereum Mainnet. 

Instead, you can visit Orca, swap tETH to ETH, then use Relay Bridge and bridge to other networks. 

There are some Eclipse Intract tasks available. Complete these tasks to maximize your chances in the Eclipse airdrop:

Explore Eclipse on Intract (ends November 30th)

Eclipse has some roles available on their Discord server. You can claim these roles to maximize chances in the future Eclipse airdrop.

Join the Eclipse Discord and head to the |opt-in-roles channel. React on the messages to claim your roles.
