Certain DAOs, particularly Decentralised Exchanges (DEXs), have recently expanded their market reach through cross-chain deployment and integration, giving rise to Cross-chain DAOs (XDAOs). These XDAOs face unique governance, deployment, and operations challenges, introducing added complexity and risks compared to traditional single-chain DAOs. While existing research has focused primarily on single-chain DAOs, we observe a shift in practice with DAOs to favour cross-chain deployments. The three largest protocols, Uniswap, Curve, and PancakeSwap, which together represent over half of the total value locked in DEXs, have been deployed across 22, 17, and 9 chains, respectively. This creates a research gap that our study addresses. In this study, we review 48 cross-chain deployments and numerous XDAO interactions, using data primarily from their respective discussion forums. Through thematic and root cause analysis, we identify eight requirements, deviations between DEXs, seven lessons learned for cross-chain deployment, and a framework to generalise the governance and deployment processes in XDAOs. As a result, we provide an improved classification of XDAO governance, highlighting limitations and future directions for cross-chain expansion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":53141,"journal":{"name":"Blockchain-Research and Applications","volume":"6 3","pages":"Article 100291"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145104884","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is robust to empty voting and is code feasible. The mechanism not only facilitates the ability of DAOs to meet their normative and operational goals in the face of diverse regulatory approaches, but also strengthens the case for creating a less burdensome but at least equally effective regulatory regime for DAOs that employ the mechanism.

Industry 5.0 emphasizes the collaborative relationship between humans and machines, requiring robust, decentralized systems to ensure security, accountability, and trust in interconnected ecosystems. Currently, IoT data processing is cloud-centric, which introduces challenges like fragmented data silos, limiting the potential for seamless and secure real-time analytics. Blockchain technology offers a solution by providing a decentralized and transparent ledger that can enhance data integrity and security across IoT applications. This study investigates the integration of blockchain with the IoT in the context of Industry 5.0, highlighting the potential for improved data management, security, and human-machine collaboration. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of IoT application designs and blockchain platforms, we evaluate existing literature to uncover the challenges, benefits, and limitations of this integration. Our research contributes by proposing a framework for selecting optimal blockchain platforms for IoT applications in Industry 5.0, providing actionable recommendations for enhanced data trust and resilience.

Traditional BIMs that exist in the form of files are stored independently on centralized servers or local machines, lacking systematic management methods. Data update and maintenance are quite cumbersome. Besides, multi-departmental interaction and collaboration are inefficient and untrustworthy. Therefore, we propose a blockchain-based trusted sharing method for rail transit BIM data. First, a blockchain-based distributed BIM data sharing system architecture is proposed. Second, smart contracts are designed to achieve on-chain protection and shared use of digital resources such as rail transit BIM models. Third, the BIM data access control mechanism based on attribute-based encryption is proposed, and we implement a prototype of a trusted shared access system with permission control for multiple departments based on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) and the security mechanisms of Software Guard Extensions (SGX).

The blockchain underlies cryptocurrencies and has rapidly expanded to other areas, including financial transactions and social media networks. However, concerns regarding the information security of social media users still exist regarding blockchain technology. The literature on blockchain online social media (BOSM) networks is growing rapidly because of their critical role in securing users’ information privacy and security. Cybersecurity remains a challenge faced by users on social media networks. Since the publication of BOSM, blockchain has become a widely discussed method for users’ information security. This comprehensive review identifies peer-reviewed articles on BOSM that underpin smart contracts, social media challenges, and research gaps. In this work, Kitchenham’s review guidelines are followed to conduct an in-depth review of the use of blockchain technology in the social media network literature published between January 2016 and March 2024, which reveals a significant increase in publications over the last eight years. A search of major academic databases, including Springer, ScienceDirect, ACM, IEEE Xplore, World Scientific, Taylor &amp; Francis, and Wiley Online, yielded a final pool of 158 articles. The findings of the review indicate key insights concerning the techniques and applications of blockchain technology and challenges for the public via social media networks such as Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. This paper identifies important challenges such as deploying smart contracts, user information privacy, a lack of platform support, users’ reactions to blockchain technology, privacy protection and compensation, security system validation, online disinformation, scalability, and miscellaneous challenges to blockchain technology. Additionally, this review suggests several future research directions to improve the role of blockchain technology in overcoming the challenges of privacy, security, reliability, scalability, and trust in the area of social media networks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":53141,"journal":{"name":"Blockchain-Research and Applications","volume":"6 3","pages":"Article 100290"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144723096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this activity requires considerable funds to be carried out, and frequently, such costs cannot rely entirely on public sources. At the same time, crowdfunding platforms are becoming a widely recognized way to collect funds and finance projects. Indeed, in the literature, some attempts have been made to use crowdfunding platforms to support renovation and restoration projects for cultural heritage items. Even if the benefits of their use in general, particularly for cultural heritage, are widely recognized, skepticism remains regarding transparency, reliability, and trustworthiness. In this regard, the emerging blockchain technology could represent an innovative solution for promoting and guaranteeing such properties through the entire crowdfunding process. However, existing solutions based on the direct use of cryptocurrencies for collecting funds have encountered users' fear and reluctance due to their novelty and the absence of clear and complete regulation by governments. For this reason, in this paper, we propose a solution that is not based on using cryptocurrencies but concentrates on the immutability, traceability, and trustworthiness properties that blockchain offers. To do so, an integrated solution is proposed that combines traditional platforms with a set of smart contracts and a Decentralized Application (dApp), allowing the immutable storage of information inside the blockchain and their subsequent validation by the donors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":53141,"journal":{"name":"Blockchain-Research and Applications","volume":"6 3","pages":"Article 100278"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144861165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose an automated market maker (AMM) protocol where liquidity providers (LPs) can deposit any amount of tokens into the pool. The protocol preserves the proportion of tokens by total value at the time of deposit and can be seen as a personalized self-balancing portfolio manager.
