RAC-Chain: An Asynchronous Consensus-Based Cross-Chain Approach to Scalable Blockchain for Metaverse [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The metaverse, as an emerging technical term, conceptually aims to construct a virtual digital space that runs parallel to the physical world. Due to humans behaviors and interactions are represented in the virtual world, security in metaverse is a challenging issue in which traditional centralized service model is one of the threat sources. In order to conquer the obstacle caused by centralized computing, blockchain-based solutions are potential problem-solving methods. However, it is difficult for a single blockchain to support large-scale data and business services in the metaverse, due to the scalability restrictions. Moreover, multi-chain settings also encounter the interoperability issues. In this work, we propose a Relay chain and Asynchronous consensus-based Consortium blockchain cross-Chain (RAC-Chain) model, which realizes message transmission and cross-chain transactions in multiple chains by adopting the relay chain and cross-chain gateways. All nodes of the application chains and the relay chain execute cross-chain transactions in sequence and reach a consensus on transactions at any transmission delay. Our experiment evaluations demonstrate that our approach performs well in atomicity, security, and functionality (cross-chain transactions), such that the performance of blockchain scalability in metaverse can be improved, comparing with the traditional relay chain schemes.
