Why this rank
Why Eclipse ranks #8
Each strength is read from evidence on a 0–10 ladder and weighted as the published methodology states. The 32 objective points these produce (3.8 here) sit inside the score; availability, friction, trust record and measured data add the rest.

What would move the rank
Each line is the ranking run again with one of Eclipse’s criterion scores changed and every other value held: the smallest whole-point change on that criterion that moves its rank, and where the re-run puts it. Up to 4 climbs and 3 falls are listed, smallest change first. Nothing here is a forecast.

Not for readers who put first

Record watch-outs
- The documentation promises fraud proofs and forced inclusion; the deployed contracts have neither, per L2Beat. Until the proof system ships, the 2,900.09 ETH in the Ethereum-side Treasury on 2026-09-28 (2,982.89 in August) is protected by a whitelisted proposer and two multisigs, not by cryptography.
Competitive position
How Eclipse places on each criterion
Rank on every objective dimension among the rows scored on it. A criterion in the top third of its pool is listed as a lead, the bottom third as a trail; the middle is neither. Popularity, size and commercial terms are not dimensions.
Against the leader
78 vs 51 · gap 27.0Why Abstract ranks above Eclipse
The compare workspace's arithmetic applied to these two rows. Each dimension's share of the gap is its weight × the difference, on the displayed scale — it reproduces the displayed gap of 27.0 to within rounding.

Facts
facts, not scoresWhat the record publishes
- Pricing
- Eclipse's homepage advertises "$0.0002" "est. transaction fee" (www.eclipse.xyz, fetched 28 September 2026) — a marketing estimate, not a fee schedule. Its documentation corpus states "ETH is the native token for Eclipse Mainnet. ETH is used to pay for gas." and "Eclipse will settle to Ethereum (i.e., the enshrined validating bridge will be on Ethereum) and use ETH as its gas token" (docs.eclipse.xyz/llms-full.txt, fetched 28 September 2026). Eclipse is an SVM chain and prices compute per signature rather than per EVM gas unit, so the 21,000-gas transfer used to normalise the EVM rows in this table has no equivalent here and no comparable figure is computed; the mainnet RPC answered getVersion with solana-core 2.2.20 at slot 190,795,863 on 28 September 2026. The same documentation now says "tETH is being sunset." and "tUSD is being sunset." — Eclipse's own yield-bearing ETH and dollar tokens can only be redeemed, not minted.Eclipse — official page at www.eclipse.xyz ↗ · 28 September 2026

History
What the record carries
Changes to published ranks are recorded in a ledger; every step and its cause is listed on the rank-history page. The entries below begin with the current verified snapshot, then the methodology versions whose changes applied to this category, newest first.

- 28 September 2026Current verified snapshot · methodology 2026.11.1Score 51, #8 of 9. 4 of 4 criteria scored. History starts here; earlier values are not interpolated.
- 15 October 2026
2026.10.10The live-data rule names the researched market measurements a criterion reads- changed The live-data rule names a second kind of figure a score reads: a researched, dated market measurement a criterion's ladder is built on, read again on the 45-day review. /methodology/live-data lists the 14 criteria that read one; no score, rank or order changes.
- changed A saved decision is checked again on the answers the reader saved. The drift check had merged a priority suggested by the market (price swings, gas) into those answers, so a market reading could move a saved decision's #1; the published ranking never read it.
- added On every build a test reads every criterion's published ladder: one that names a market quantity or a market-data source must be declared, and every scored row of a declared criterion must carry the source and the date its figure was read.

2026.10.8When nothing serves your country, the list shown for reference is the published ranking · platform-wide- fixed The reference list shown when nothing serves your country is the published order with the published scores, and a build check now fails any such list out of that order or with a score the ranking does not publish.
- fixed The explorer prints an overall rank only for a row the published ranking holds; a country entrant such as Coinbase Commerce for US merchants shows no overall rank.
- changed Published orders do not move. Country results change only where nothing serves the country: in India bill pay keeps Bitcoin Well first and now shows Strike second, as published; 35 such runs across all categories and countries now match the published list exactly.
- 10 October 2026
2026.10.6A criterion you require re-scores the rows that meet it · platform-wide- changed The explorer sends each criterion you require, at any band, as fit_required with your other answers; region, licence, chain and fact filters stay filters. On /best, a required criterion joins For you as a marked preference does, which needs your country; Overall stays the published ranking, filtered.
- added Every published criterion has a golden case as the explorer sends it (require:<criterion>), so the order a requirement gives is replayed and gated as the published order is, and a change to it needs an entry here.
