An Incentive-Aligned Trust-Centric Coordination Layer for Heterogeneous Blockchain Interoperability
In briefA coordination layer aligning incentives and trust for blockchain interoperability
SummaryThis paper proposes a coordination architecture that handles cross-domain trust and privacy separately from underlying blockchain protocols, without requiring protocol changes. It combines cryptographic unlinkability with incentive-compatible relay selection, using stake-weighted participation and accumulated reputation. The authors formalize an adversarial model and analyze robustness against Sybil attacks, collusion, and stake concentration. Simulations examine trade-offs among quorum thresholds, reputation memory, and anonymity parameters.
