How to get started on Eclipse
Before you can use Orca on Eclipse you will need to install a compatible wallet and bridge some ETH to Eclipse. For the purpose of this guide we will use Backpack wallet. If you do not already have Backpack installed you can install it for your device here. If you already use a different Solana wallet app you can use your seed phrase to import your existing address to Backpack, you can do that by following an appropriate guide from here.
Bridging assets to Eclipse
Before we can do anything on Eclipse we will need some ETH to use as gas, this will mean bridging some ETH from the Ethereum mainnet to your Eclipse address. If you do not already hold some ETH on Ethereum mainnet there are several ways you can get some:
Purchase some ETH on a CEX and transfer it to your Ethereum Mainnet wallet.
Bridge some wrapped ETH from Solana to Ethereum Mainnet using a bridge such as Portal, deBridge. or a bridge/cross chain trade tool built into a wallet app.
Bridge some ETH from an Ethereum L2 to Ethereum Mainnet.
Once you hold some ETH on Ethereum Mainnet you can bridge it to Eclipse to use as gas, this can be achieved easily using the Eclipse Canonical Bridge, you can find our guide here.
