A Tree-Based Repository Blockchain Framework for Shared Governance in Collaborative Fork Ecosystems
The paper proposes a tree-based repository blockchain framework to manage hard forks in collaborative blockchain ecosystems, allowing a single process to access all system blocks without relying on Inter Blockchain Communication (IBC).
Abstract
More Like ThisCollaborative blockchain ecosystems allow diverse groups to cooperate on tasks while providing properties such as decentralization and transaction security. We provide a model that uses a repository blockchain to manage hard forks within a collaborative system such that a single process (assuming that it has knowledge of the requirements of each fork) can access all of the blocks within the system. The repository blockchain replaces the need for Inter Blockchain Communication (IBC) within the ecosystem by navigating the networks. The resulting construction resembles a tree instead of a chain. A proof-of-concept implementation performs a depth-first search on the new structure.
