Eclipse Token Airdrop: Complete Guide

If you’ve been keeping an eye on emerging blockchains, you’ve likely heard of Eclipse — an Ethereum Layer-2 (L2) solution powered by Solana’s Virtual Machine (SVM). This dual-powered approach combines Ethereum’s robust security and decentralized infrastructure with the lightning-fast throughput of Solana.

Speculation about a potential Eclipse airdrop continues to grow. In this guide, you’ll learn how to position yourself for a possible airdrop, set up your wallet, bridge assets, explore tETH, dive into DeFi, and purchase NFTs that might bolster your on-chain footprint.

What is Eclipse?

Eclipse is an Ethereum L2 scaling solution, uniquely powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM). By harnessing Solana’s speed and local fee market design, Eclipse aims to process transactions more efficiently than standard Ethereum L2s — while still enjoying the security and ecosystem benefits of Ethereum.

• High Throughput: Leveraging Solana’s technical architecture to offer faster transaction finality.
• Compatible with Ethereum: Users can bridge and deploy dApps using the familiar EVM environment, but with SVM under the hood.

Why Eclipse Airdrop Speculation is High

Historically, many innovative L2s or new blockchains have introduced native tokens and offered airdrops to early users. Given Eclipse’s well-funded approach and forward-looking technology, community members theorize that:

• A token is likely to govern or fuel the network.
• Early, active ecosystem participants (swappers, liquidity providers, NFT minters, etc.) might be the first in line for an airdrop.

Although this remains speculative, engaging meaningfully with Eclipse’s ecosystem could offer you a potential upside if a token event does occur.

Step-by-Step Guide to Farm Eclipse Airdrop

To enhance your on-chain footprint and potentially qualify for any future airdrop, consider completing the following tasks. The more you interact with Eclipse, the higher your chances (historically speaking) of being rewarded if a token event occurs.

Step 1: Participate in Tasks on Eclipse

✅ Free
✅ One Tiem Task
✅ 3–7 Minutes

1. Visit tap.eclipse.xyz
2. Connect your Eclipse-compatible wallet (Backpack is recommended).
3. Complete and participate in available on-chain activities.

These tasks might include testnet interactions or small “quests” that demonstrate you’re an active user.

Step 2: Provide Liquidity on Eclipse LST

✅ Capital Required
✅ Recurring Task
✅ 3–5 Minutes

1. Visit teth.eclipse.xyz
2. Connect your wallet (Backpack)
3. Mint $tETH (Eclipse’s liquid staking token for ETH)

Providing liquidity or participating in yield-generation strategies is often a key indicator of active and engaged users, which can be beneficial for airdrop eligibility.

Step 3: Stake TIA on Keplr Wallet

✅ Capital Required
✅ Recurring Task
✅ 3–4 Minutes

Even though this step involves Celestia rather than Eclipse directly, many ecosystems are interconnected. Cross-chain activity might be an extra signal of network support:

1. Visit Keplr’s Celestia dashboard
2. Connect your wallet
3. Stake $TIA

Sometimes, airdrop criteria span multiple ecosystems. If Celestia is part of Eclipse’s broader environment or partnerships, staking TIA could help.

Step 4: Deploy a Rust Smart Contract on Eclipse Testnet

✅ Free
✅ One Time Task
✅ 15–20 Minutes

For developers or technically curious users, deploying a contract is one of the strongest indicators of on-chain activity:

1. Review the complete guidelines at Eclipse Docs: Quick Start
2. Generate a new Solana wallet (pubkey = wallet address). Save the 12-word seed phrase in a safe place.
3. Create a Deposit (essentially bridging your Sepolia ETH to Eclipse Testnet). You can do this in the UI, rather than via command line.
4. When bridging ETH across, it’s converted 1:1 into SOL on Eclipse Testnet. You may want to bridge around 0.1 ETH to have enough for gas (deployment costs ~0.07 SOL).
5. Check if tokens were bridged using solana balance.
6. Continue with compiling and deploying the “Hello World” contract on Eclipse Testnet.

Step 5: (Optional) Mint an Eclipse Network NFT

✅ Capital Required
✅ One Time Task
✅ 3–9 Minutes

Engaging with the NFT side of Eclipse can further demonstrate active participation.

1. Visit owlto.finance
2. Connect a wallet
3. Bridge ETH from another chain to the Eclipse Network
4. Upon successful transfer of assets:
5. Visit scopenft.xyz
6. Connect a wallet
7. Click “Mint for free” button (requires ~0.0000818 $ETH for gas)

Minting NFTs is often another factor airdrop creators look at when deciding who is an “active” user.

Step 6: Mint a Domain on Eclipse

✅ Capital Required
✅ Recurring Task
✅ 2–5 Minutes

Owning a domain is both fun and demonstrates further investment in an ecosystem.

1. Visit eclipse.alldomains.id
2. Connect a wallet
3. Connect a Twitter Account (if required)
4. Mint a domain

Note: You need to have an Eclipse Wallet to mint a domain successfully.

Conclusion

While no official token or airdrop is confirmed, Eclipse’s VC backing, ongoing development, and innovative approach suggest a strong likelihood of future token incentives. Engaging early often pays off in crypto, particularly if a governance or utility token emerges.

• Stay Informed: Follow Eclipse Twitter and Discord for real-time updates.
• Diversify On-Chain Activities: Don’t just bridge and wait — explore the ecosystem.
• Manage Risk: Only commit what you can afford to lock up, especially since some bridges have longer withdrawal windows.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is Eclipse guaranteed to have an airdrop?
No. There is no official confirmation. The community speculates there will be a token down the road, but it’s purely speculative at this point.

2. What is tETH?
tETH is a Unified Restaking Token on Eclipse that automatically aggregates yield from multiple ETH restaking protocols (EtherFi, Renzo, Swell, Dinero, Puffer). By minting tETH, you maintain ETH exposure while accruing potential additional rewards.

3. Which wallet should I use for Eclipse?
Currently, Backpack is the best wallet for Eclipse. Other popular wallets like Phantom do not support Eclipse.

4. What are the best ways to qualify for a potential Eclipse airdrop?
The best strategy is to actively use Eclipse. This can include bridging funds, minting NFTs, swapping on DEXs, and lending/borrowing on protocols like Save Finance. Real usage tends to be rewarded if a token emerges.

5. Can I withdraw my tETH?
At the moment, withdrawals are not available. Eclipse has indicated that a withdrawal mechanism is coming soon.
