View your transactions in the Eclipse Block Explorer.
As a user, you can use Sepolia ETH to explore the Eclipse testnet and dApps deployed on the network. Sepolia ETH is not meant to be traded, and is only used to test applications. Sepolia ETH can be claimed from a number of faucets: Alchemy, QuickNode, and Infura.
Here are instructions on how to claim Sepolia ETH on .

The Modular Cloud block explorer will eventually include visibility into Celestia DA blobs and the Ethereum validating bridge.
Eclipse Testnet is a realistic simulation of the rollup client that will run for Eclipse Mainnet. This includes posting blobs to Celestia, a canonical bridge contract on the Ethereum Sepolia testnet, and all related relayers. The tooling and user experience of the Eclipse Testnet will reflect Eclipse Mainnet Beta, except we have not deployed frontends for certain functionality such as the canonical bridge. This means that developers and power users will have to follow instructions in these docs to interact with the Eclipse Testnet.
Eclipse Devnet is a Solana VM environment that mimics the developer experience in deploying SVM programs. It is a single node Solana cluster, but does not include surrounding infrastructure.
The Eclipse Testnet differs from Eclipse Mainnet Beta because Testnet must not be used to support real economic value. Eclipse Testnet is still undergoing multiple audits and a bug bounty program. It should not be used in production under any circumstances. It is intended to give developers a realistic environment to try out code they intend to migrate to Mainnet.

You can view your transactions with any block explorer compatible with Eclipse. The Modular Cloud team previously built CelestiaScan, and they are supporting Eclipse Mainnet with a dedicated block explorer: .
There are other block explorers which also support Eclipse:
