0/ the era of monolithic blockchains is ending and the future is modular 🧱

the @EclipseFND x @nautilus_chain zkEVM partnership is a great example of why YOU should be excited about the modular thesis 🚀

a 🧵 featuring @CelestiaOrg, @RiscZero and @NeonLabsOrg ✨

(0/18) 👇

1/ introducting @EclipseFND 🧪

@EclipseFND is a framework that lets you build customizable, modular rollups using the #Solana VM (Sealevel VM) on any chain. While that allows for running programs written for Solana on the VM, #Eclipse isn’t using @solana for security

2/ instead, settlement happens on the #Eclipse settlement rollup, while the DA solution can be customized and can e.g. be @CelestiaOrg, @AvailProject or @eigenlayer

3/ introducing @nautilus_chain 🐚

Nautilus is an optimistic, sovereign EVM rollup deployed using @EclipseFND. dApps on @nautilus_chain include payment streaming protocol @Zebec_HQ with 20,000+ daily active users, Poseidon Swap (DEX) & more

4/ introducing @CelestiaOrg 🧱

#Celestia is a modular, chain-agnostic data availability layer that provides rollups a highly scalable, decentralized & cheap DA solution with high security guarantees to #rollups

5/ I have covered @CelestiaOrg in-depth in the past already, so refer to the below thread for more info 👇

5/ introducing @RiscZero

@RiscZero is designing a zero knowledge proof enabled VM, that runs the popular ISA known as RISC V. This is exciting because it means that @RiscZero' virtual zk computer (the zkVM) can support a wide range of programming languages...

6/ ...as the most popular languages (e.g. C++ and Rust) and interpreted languages like Python, can be easily compiled to target the RISC V instruction set

7/ introducing @NeonLabsOrg

@NeonLabsOrg is building the Neon EVM, which creates a compatibility layer for #Ethereum on #Solana, allowing anyone to run Solidity contracts on @solana

8/ incentivized Neon #EVM operators on Solana facilitate transactions on behalf of #Ethereum dApps. The operators receive $ETH-like transactions from dApps that use the Neon EVM. These transactions are then wrapped into @solana transactions and executed in the #Solana VM

9/ @EclipseFND x @nautilus_chain

okay, but let's put the pieces together 🧱

being built on @EclipseFND, @nautilus_chain is plugged into the #Eclipse settlement layer (a Celestia sovereign rollup).

10/ the settlement #rollup does not have the capability to execute arbitrary smart contracts and instead is only used for bridging and passing proofs. All arbitrary execution occurs on separate execution chains like @nautilus_chain

11/ while it currently supports optimistic settlement, the @RiscZero zk proof system will also be integrated in the near future

12/ after execution on @nautilus_chain, blocks are posted to
@CelestiaOrg for data availability

13/ as mentioned earlier, being built on @EclipseFND allows @nautilus_chain to run the powerful Sealevel VM that enables thousands of TPS on @solana

14/ however, @nautilus_chain will also utilize @NeonLabsOrg's EVM to allow EVM transactions to run on the rollup, while still benefiting from the parallelism of the Sealevel VM

15/ but that's not all, in the future, @nautilus_chain aims to switch to the above-mentioned @RiscZero zero knowledge proof system, turning into a cutting-edge #zkVM rollup

16/ the @nautilus_chain's current optimistic rollup implementation already has a throughput capacity of 2,000+ TPS, which will only increase in the future

17/ the @nautilus_chain's modular architecture provides the community with optimal versatility and adaptability as it expands. Utilizing @EclipseFND enabled #Nautilus to save significant development time, amounting to several months
