Differences Between Eclipse and Solana
For the most part, developing and interacting with dApps on Eclipse is the same as Solana. However, there are some minor differences.

The native token on Eclipse is ETH. It uses 9 decimal places, unlike Ethereum. You can get this token by bridging over ETH from mainnet Ethereum or from bridging over SOL or USDC from Solana. See our guide on how to do this .
Similar to Solana, there are also wrapped versions of the native token for both the SPL Token and SPL Token 2022, both with 9 decimals as well. You can read more about the reasoning behind this .
The addresses for these wrapped native tokens are the same as Solana:
SPL Token: So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112
SPL Token 2022: 9pan9bMn5HatX4EJdBwg9VgCa7Uz5HL8N1m5D3NdXejP
Priority fees are paid using our native token ETH but . When calculating them with libraries like @solana/web3.js, it will still say micro-lamports since the libraries are made for Solana. However, it still uses your ETH balance and calculates it using the same precision micro-lamports have relative to SOL, i.e. 10^-15 ETH or 1 Kwei (1 micro-lamport == 10^-6 lamports == 10^-15 SOL).
We reccomend using getRecentPriorityFees to ensure you pay the lowest possible fee instead of using any default value due to the difference in USD pricing of 1 micro lamport vs 1 kwei.

Building dApps and deploying programs to Eclipse is the same process as with Solana. Just ensure any hardcoded program addresses exist on Eclipse. Please check out for an example.
