Premise

• Eclipse binaries(except eclipse-validator) and RPC method are compatible with solana.
• eclipse-validator
  • eclipse-validator build from https://github.com/Eclipse-Laboratories-Inc/solar-eclipse. We are currently using
    • Version: v2.1.21.0
    • Commit hash: 9427e00b64c313a0c7ed2bf4990e6136bbb9c23f
    • Feature set: 1511861724
  • eclipse-validator is incompatible with solana-validator. it will panic due to different bankhash if using solana-validator to sync eclipse chain data.
  • Currently, eclipse-validator parameters are used in the same way as solana-validator.
