Towards the GSVM Client

GSVM: A New Execution Paradigm

Blockchains have historically underutilized modern compute. While industries like AI have embraced GPUs, FPGAs, and SmartNICs to achieve orders of magnitude throughput gains, most blockchains continue to optimize for outdated hardware assumptions and rigid execution models.

Eclipse introduces GigaCompute: a new compute paradigm that rethinks blockchain performance from first principles, leveraging the freedom of being a modular Layer 2 to co-design software and hardware across the stack.

At the center of this thesis is GSVM, a high-performance, hardware-aware SVM client built to scale with modern infrastructure.
