Abstract

This article explores the role of blockchains in the development of Web 3.0 and the Metaverse. The success of these technologies is dependent on the utilization of decentralized systems like blockchains, which can store and validate data on identities and reputations and facilitate the exchange of virtual assets. Full nodes, which store the entire blockchain state and validate all transactions, are essential for the decentralization and reliability of the network. However, operating a full node is resource-intensive and can be expensive. To tackle this challenge, we propose an incentive mechanism that utilizes contract-theoretic methods to economically motivate users to support the sustainability and growth of the blockchain network. Our contract design addresses the problem of information asymmetry (e.g., users' revenue-generating capabilities and efforts) between users and the blockchain network. Additionally, we recommend providing diverse incentives based on the user's revenue-generating capabilities and efforts to assist the blockchain network in funding incentives. Our experimental results demonstrate that our proposed mechanism increases the blockchain network's utility by $48.48\%-54.52\%$ and reduces the users' cost by $38.46\%-62.5\%$ compared with the state-of-the-art implementations such as Celo, Vipnode, and Pocket Network.

通过多样化的激励机制设计促进区块链在Web 3.0和元宇宙中的可持续性
本文探讨了区块链在Web 3.0和元宇宙开发中的作用。这些技术的成功取决于区块链等去中心化系统的利用,这些系统可以存储和验证身份和信誉数据,并促进虚拟资产的交换。完整节点存储整个区块链状态并验证所有交易,对于网络的去中心化和可靠性至关重要。但是,操作一个完整的节点是资源密集型的,而且成本可能很高。为了应对这一挑战,我们提出了一种激励机制,利用合同理论方法在经济上激励用户支持区块链网络的可持续性和增长。我们的合同设计解决了用户和区块链网络之间的信息不对称问题(例如,用户的创收能力和努力)。此外,我们建议根据用户的创收能力和努力提供各种激励措施,以帮助区块链网络为激励措施提供资金。我们的实验结果表明,与Celo、Vipnode和Pocket network等最先进的实现相比,我们提出的机制使区块链网络的效用增加了48.48\%-54.52\%$,并降低了38.46\%-62.5\%$的用户成本。
