Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different cross-chain technologies are used for different scenarios, then cross-chain functionality is achieved, but device complexity and system integration requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal cross-chain message sending mechanism that can handle multiple cross-chain scenarios through a single standardized interface. The message structure includes standardized fields (sending blockchain identifier, receiving object information, message content) that can accommodate different cross-chain use cases without requiring separate technology implementations for each scenario, thereby reducing system integration complexity while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The cross-chain message is segmented into distinct standardized fields: sending blockchain identifier, sending account, receiving object information, and message content. This segmentation allows each component to be independently processed and validated, simplifying the overall cross-chain communication process while maintaining flexibility for different application scenarios.
2Adaptability or versatility
If cross-chain message sending is implemented without standardized protocols, then flexibility is maintained, but processing efficiency and interoperability decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent establishes standardized parameters and data structures for cross-chain messages, including specific field definitions and formats. This standardization enables efficient processing by eliminating the need for custom handling logic in each scenario, thereby improving processing efficiency while maintaining sufficient flexibility through the standardized message structure that can accommodate various message types and content.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are computer-implemented methods; computer-implemented systems; and non-transitory, computer-readable media, for sending cross-chain messages. One computer-implemented method includes storing an authenticable message (AM) associated with a first account of a blockchain node to a blockchain associated with the first blockchain network, where the AM comprises an identifier (ID) of the first blockchain network, information of the first account, and information of a recipient of the AM. The AM and location information is translated to a relay to be forwarded to the recipient located outside of the first blockchain network, where the location information identifies a location of the AM in the first blockchain and the recipient includes one or more accounts outside of the first blockchain network.
