SVM L2 on Ethereum: Bullish or Bearish SOL? with Neel Somani, Founder, Eclipse
![](/content/images/size/w2000/2023/09/tw.jpg)
Solana on Ethereum? Solana has a virtual machine called the SVM. Proponents say it’s much better than the Ethereum EVM…multi-threaded execution…now it’s coming to Ethereum in the form of an L2.
Today on the show, we brought on CEO & Co-Founder of Eclipse, Neel Somani. Eclipse is not only a new L2 on the scene, it’s also an L2 framework, kind of like the OP Stack. It’s a superchain contender.
This poses some very interesting questions….who wins? Does this kill Solana?
