Abstract
In recent years, the heterogeneity among the blockchains has become the driving force behind the development of cross-chain technologies. Due to the limited processing speed of cross-chain system, excessive cross-chain transactions in the short term may cause network congestion and negatively impact. For this reason, it is essential to evaluate and optimize the performance of the cross-blockchain transaction process. However, existing research ignores the limitations of cross-chain systems. Much research is carried out to model, simulate and analyze the performance of traditional blockchain systems rather than cross-blockchain processes. To bridge this gap, our study proposes a queuing theoretical model based on system finite space, using the case of Cosmos, a typical cross-blockchain implemented by the relay mode. The solution of the steady-state equations are established by two-dimensional continuous time Markov process, and the performance measures such as average queue length, transaction rejection probability, and transaction response time are given. Finally, we simulated the analytical solutions of the relevant performance measures through experiments to verify the model’s effectiveness. We believe this analytical approach can be generalized to other cross-blockchain systems.
