Eclipse
#8 overall across 9 scored appchains / l3s. 29 points behind #1 Abstract. Scored 50 on the published 41–99 scale under methodology 2026.09.15, from the evidence read in August 2026.
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 (4.5 here) sit inside the score; availability, friction, trust record and measured data add the rest.
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.
Smallest climb: security inherited from settlement layer 1 → 4 passes Immutable zkEVM, #7.
Where it leads
- Operators running the chain today — 2/10
- Measured liquidity on arrival — 2/10
Where it trails
- The documentation promises fraud proofs and forced inclusion; the deployed contracts have neither, per L2Beat. Until the proof system ships, the 2,982.89 ETH in the Ethereum-side Treasury is protected by a whitelisted proposer and two multisigs, not by cryptography.
Where Eclipse leads and where it trails
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.

The 3 nearest rows by score
Nearest by published score in either direction. Each card states the criteria on which the two rows differ and the cost difference under the same scenario inputs; the compare arithmetic below shows why the higher one ranks higher.

Why 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 29.0 to within rounding.

Eclipse is not priced for this scenario
Metered usage beyond whatever the plan includes, for a year. Excludes egress, support tiers and enterprise minimums. Change an input and every figure recomputes from the published rate; the published rank does not move.

What the record publishes
- Pricing
- "ETH is the native token for Eclipse Mainnet. ETH is used to pay for gas." (fetched 2026-08-07); the same corpus states "Eclipse will settle to Ethereum (i.e., the enshrined validating bridge will be on Ethereum) and use ETH as its gas token". 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 every other row in this table has no equivalent here and no comparable figure is asserted; the mainnet RPC answered getVersion with solana-core 2.2.20 at slot 178,169,160 on 2026-08-07Eclipse — official pricing page ↗ · 11 Aug 2026

What the record carries
Changes to published ranks and scores are recorded in a ledger, but this page does not chart that record yet, so no score line is drawn: history begins with the current verified snapshot. Below it, the methodology versions whose changes applied to this category, newest first.
- 7 Aug 2026Current verified snapshot · methodology 2026.09.15Score 50, #8 of 9. 4 of 4 criteria scored. History starts here; earlier values are not interpolated.

2026.09.15Dimension scores carry tenths, and eleven more categories are re-read from primary sources · platform-wide- changed Dimension scores resolve to tenths of a point (O-04b), and weightedTotal is rounded to six decimal places before the order is read. 518 published scores move across 107 categories that were not re-read; none of them moves by more than 4 points, and most move by 1.
- fixed 66 published scores change in the eleven re-read categories, against a verbatim source each. The largest moves are Reflexer RAI (−16), Beefy and Unrekt (−11), Aztec (−10) and Golem (+9) — all of them rows whose sources had moved since their last read.
- changed Published order moves in 38 of 119 categories and three #1s change: smart_contract_audits (Zellic → Certora) and travel_rule_compliance (Sumsub Travel Rule → CodeVASP) on the finer resolution, kyc_compliance (Veriff → Sumsub) on the re-read.
- added availabilitySource (O-04g): for a reader who states a country, a row whose availability in that country rests on a region tag its record gives no source for sorts below every sourced row. It is inert in every order published here, which states no country.

2026.09.5The published review cadence is now one the work actually keeps · platform-wide- changed reviewCadenceDays 30 → 45 across all 119 category specs, and the two prose sites that quoted "the 30-day review cadence" in tokenised_bonds.
- changed check-review-cadence-is-kept ceiling 7 → 3, negative-tested: restoring a single 30-day promise over 49-day evidence takes it to 4 and fails the build.
- fixed Measured by regenerating rankings.json: no category changed order and no score moved, and the golden suite confirms it independently — across all 119 fixtures and 2,217 cases the only fields that differ are methodologyVersion and contentHash. A cadence is a claim about freshness, not an input to any ranking.

2026.09.2Twenty points that ordered nothing leave the total · platform-wide- removed profileFit removed from the weighting. The published composite is now availability 20, objectiveFit 30, frictionFit 10, trustBonus 8 and quantitative 18 — 86 points, down from 106.
- fixed A stated priority for support raised profileFit, routing a visitor's answer into a dimension that could not move a result. It now raises frictionFit, where getting started and getting help are scored.
- changed Measured effect: 15 of 114 categories reordered and 3 changed leader (institutional_custody, payment_gateway, business_banking). Every one of the 36 swapped pairs sits within 0.02 points of 86 of its partner — products that were numerically tied before and after.
- changed The sensitivity analysis and the per-dimension breakdown no longer offer profileFit as a lever, since re-weighting a term that carries no weight cannot change an outcome. The breakdown still shows the number, labelled "shown, not scored".
