The Ethereum Layer 2 network ecosystem welcomes an important personnel change. Neel Somani, founder of Eclipse, recently announced his resignation to fully dedicate himself to the field of machine learning research. This change signifies that Eclipse Labs is entering a new development stage. It is reported that Eclipse Labs completed a $50 million Series A funding round in 2024, which also laid a solid foundation for the project's subsequent development. As the founding team shifts its strategic focus, the outside world is paying attention to Eclipse's future plans in the Layer 2 scaling field and the impact of the new leadership on the ecosystem.

The founder has gone to play ML. Can the 50 million funding hold up?

ngl, neel pivoting to ml research feels like classic founder burnout disguised as "strategic vision"... $50m a round doesn't exactly scream stability when the architect just dips, does it?

The founder went to do ML? He doesn't want to play this game anymore.

The founder turning to ML research? At first glance, it's quite surprising, but to be honest, this has long been common in the crypto circle. With $50 million in funding on the table, it's hard to tell right away whether the team is reliable or not.
