Abstract
The convergence of 6G and Web 3 technologies with the Metaverse necessitates user-centric, intelligent solutions to address challenges of adaptability, scalability, and efficiency in decentralized systems. This paper introduces the Human-AI Blockchain (HAIB) Metaverse architecture and the Intelligent Smart Contract (InSC) framework, which integrate Reinforcement Learning (RL) and extended stigmergy to optimize multi-agent interactions and enable dynamic, self-executing smart contracts. The HAIB architecture enhances human-AI collaboration through a human-in-the-loop approach, facilitating adaptive decision-making and efficient resource allocation. Serving as the cognitive core, the InSC framework combines dynamic environmental feedback with real-time data analytics to enable intelligent decision-making. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that the proposed framework reduces gas consumption by 32–33% while increasing cumulative rewards. These findings highlight the significant potential of intelligent smart contracts in advancing decentralized intelligence within the Metaverse.
