Solana Virtual Machines and How it Works with Eclipse, Lumio, Mantis and ABK Labs

Why are developers choosing to build on the Solana Virtual Machine? In this week's episode of The Index, we explore this question with an exclusive conversation from a recent livestream hosted by Alex Kehaya, Co-founder & CEO of ABK Labs, and Omar Zaki, Co-founder & CEO of Mantis. They're joined by Terry Chung, Head of Strategy at Eclipse, and Alejo Pinto, Co-founder at Pontem, to discuss the benefits and challenges of building on the SVM ecosystem.

Our expert panel explains why SVM chains are gaining traction among developers, focusing on their high throughput, scalability, and potential for interoperability with other blockchains. They also highlight the importance of creating a sustainable competitive advantage and ensuring a user-friendly experience to attract both developers and users to the SVM ecosystem.

Tune in to hear insightful conversations about the future of Layer 2 solutions, the evolving role of app chains, and innovative concepts like pre-confirmations and DeFi-specific environments within SVMs. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just curious about the Solana ecosystem, this episode is packed with valuable insights you won’t want to miss!
