Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If individual configuration is performed on each blockchain independently, then each blockchain can be configured according to its specific service needs, but consistency of configuration information across chains cannot be ensured
Solution Approach 1:
A management chain is introduced as an intermediary between multiple independent blockchains. The management chain receives configuration information from any blockchain, performs consistency verification, and distributes verified configurations to other chains. This mediator mechanism ensures that each blockchain maintains its service-specific adaptability while achieving configuration consistency across all chains through centralized verification and distribution.
2Productivity
If cross-chain processing is not implemented, then each blockchain operates independently with simple structure, but performance expansion and processing capability are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into a management chain responsible for cross-chain coordination and multiple independent service blockchains responsible for specific functions. This segmentation allows each blockchain to maintain operational simplicity while the management chain provides the necessary cross-chain processing capabilities for performance expansion, resolving the contradiction between processing efficiency and system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The management chain serves multiple functions including configuration verification, cross-chain data transmission, and coordination of consensus nodes across different blockchains. This multi-functional design enables the system to achieve enhanced processing efficiency through a single coordinating entity rather than requiring complex peer-to-peer interactions between all chains.
3Ease of operation
If multiple blockchains operate independently, then each chain has autonomous control, but cross-chain data processing becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The management chain acts as an intermediary that receives data from independent service blockchains, verifies consistency, and facilitates cross-chain data processing. This approach preserves the autonomous control of individual blockchains while providing a centralized coordination mechanism that simplifies cross-chain operations compared to direct peer-to-peer interactions.
