Abstract

The development of modern digital economies requires trusted digital asset management (DAM), for which blockchain technology is increasingly being adopted. However, the current architecture for constructing blockchain-based DAM systems (BDAMSs) is inadequate. Existing BDAMSs adopt a modified layered architecture, which enriches the database layer by adding a blockchain platform that acts as a third party to process DAM business logic with pre-written smart contracts. This architecture faces four issues that make it non-credible and non-customizable to DAM demands: 1) pseudo decentralization, 2) not asset-oriented, 3) contract dependency, and 4) high load of chains. To overcome these issues, we propose the One-Network-Multi-Chain Architecture (ONMCA), which allows multiple heterogeneous chains to be established within a same network. ONMCA enables diverse digital assets to be managed in a customizable way through the following features: 1) asset stakeholders are allowed to join the blockchain network, eliminating third parties; 2) transactions are designed to portray the changes in asset states, making the system asset-oriented; and 3) a control layer is added to take over business logic, and smart contracts are forced to regulate asset transactions full-time. We formalize ONMCA and analyze it comprehensively, and the results show that ONMCA meets the requirements of DAM and is qualified to build credible and adaptive BDAMSs.

ONMCA：可定制资产导向区块链系统的一网多链架构

现代数字经济的发展需要可信的数字资产管理（DAM），而区块链技术正越来越多地被采用。然而，目前构建基于区块链的数字资产管理系统（BDAMS）的架构并不完善。现有的 BDAMS 采用经过修改的分层架构，通过添加一个区块链平台来丰富数据库层，该平台作为第三方使用预先编写的智能合约来处理 DAM 业务逻辑。这种架构面临四个问题，使其不可信，也无法满足 DAM 的需求：1) 伪去中心化；2) 不以资产为导向；3) 合约依赖性；4) 链负载高。为了克服这些问题，我们提出了单网络多链架构（ONMCA），允许在同一网络内建立多个异构链。ONMCA 可通过以下功能以可定制的方式管理各种数字资产：1）允许资产利益相关者加入区块链网络，消除第三方；2）设计交易来描绘资产状态的变化，使系统以资产为导向；3）添加控制层来接管业务逻辑，强制智能合约全时监管资产交易。我们将ONMCA形式化并进行了全面分析，结果表明ONMCA符合DAM的要求，有资格构建可信的自适应BDAMS。

期刊介绍： The aim of the Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications journal is to disseminate state-of-the-art research and development results in this rapidly growing research area, to facilitate the deployment of P2P networking and applications, and to bring together the academic and industry communities, with the goal of fostering interaction to promote further research interests and activities, thus enabling new P2P applications and services. The journal not only addresses research topics related to networking and communications theory, but also considers the standardization, economic, and engineering aspects of P2P technologies, and their impacts on software engineering, computer engineering, networked communication, and security. The journal serves as a forum for tackling the technical problems arising from both file sharing and media streaming applications. It also includes state-of-the-art technologies in the P2P security domain. Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications publishes regular papers, tutorials and review papers, case studies, and correspondence from the research, development, and standardization communities. Papers addressing system, application, and service issues are encouraged.
