MetaShard: A Novel Sharding Blockchain Platform for Metaverse Applications. (arXiv:2305.00367v1 [cs.CR])

Due to its security, transparency, and flexibility in verifying virtual
assets, blockchain has been identified as one of the key technologies for
Metaverse. Unfortunately, blockchain-based Metaverse faces serious challenges
such as massive resource demands, scalability, and security concerns. To
address these issues, this paper proposes a novel sharding-based blockchain
framework, namely MetaShard, for Metaverse applications. Particularly, we first
develop an effective consensus mechanism, namely Proof-of-Engagement, that can
incentivize MUs' data and computing resource contribution. Moreover, to improve
the scalability of …
