摘要

摘要: 元宇宙是一种新型互联网社会生态，旨在促进用户交流、提供虚拟服务和数字资产交易。区块链作为元宇宙的底层技术，支持非同质化通证(NFT)等数字资产在元宇宙内流通。然而，随着共识节点的增加，数字资产的交易共识效率会降低。因此，该文设计了基于边缘计算和跨链技术的多子元宇宙数字资产交易管理框架，首先，利用跨链技术将多个子元宇宙连接成多子元宇宙系统；其次，将边缘设备以矿工的身份分配到各个子元宇宙中，并利用其空闲的计算资源来提高数字资产交易的效率；此外，将边缘设备分配问题建模为一个多背包问题，并设计了一套矿工选择方案。针对环境动态变化的分配问题，采用深度强化学习中的近端策略优化(DRL-PPO)算法，有效解决多子元宇宙中子元宇宙的矿工分配问题。仿真结果验证了所提方法的有效性，能够以安全、高效和灵活的方式实现跨链NFT交易和子元宇宙管理。

Abstract: Metaverses is a new type of internet social ecosystem that promotes user interaction, provides virtual services, and enables digital asset transactions. Blockchain, as the underlying technology of metaverses, supports the circulation of digital assets such as Non-Fungible Token (NFT) within the metaverse. However, the increase in consensus nodes can decrease the consensus efficiency of digital asset transactions. Therefore, a multi-metaverse digital assets transaction management framework based on edge computing and cross-chain technology is proposed. Firstly, cross-chain technology is utilized to connect multiple sub-metaverses into a multi sub-metaverse system. Secondly, edge devices are allocated as miners in various sub-metaverses, contributing idle computational resources to enhance the efficiency of digital asset transactions. Additionally, the paper models the edge device allocation problem as a multi-knapsack problem and designs a miner selection approach. To address the dynamic allocation problem caused by environmental changes, the Deep Reinforcement Learning Proximal Policy Optimization (DRL-PPO) algorithm from deep reinforcement learning is employed. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in achieving secure, efficient, and flexible cross-chain NFT transactions and sub-metaverse management.
