As the infrastructure of the Metaverse, in addition to supercomputing technology, TMT provides computing power for the Metaverse ecology. Of course, it also has a strong blockchain bottom layer, providing a decentralized and safer economic model for the Metaverse ecology.

1 Unlimited blockchain

The BSC public chain is a new-generation blockchain protocol that brings together an entire network of purpose-built blockchains, allowing them to work seamlessly together at scale. Because the BSC public chain allows any type of data to be sent between any type of digital assets, TMT with BSC as the underlying protocol unlocks a large number of real-world scenarios. By combining the best features from multiple dedicated blockchains, the BSC public chain paves the way for the emergence of a new digital asset, TMT, providing fairer access to services through a variety of applications and providers. While blockchain has shown great potential in multiple areas such as the Internet of Things (IoT), finance, governance, identity management network decentralization, and asset tracking, in previous systems, some design limitations have largely hindered its development. Mass adoption.

The design of the TMT Super Metaverse offers several distinct advantages over existing and legacy networks, including heterogeneous sharding, scalability, upgradability, transparent governance, and cross-chain composability.

2 Heterogeneous sharding — multiple chains

Will a network eventually have one blockchain to rule the others? We don’t think so. All blockchains will make different trade-offs to support specific functions and scenarios, and the need for transactions between them will only increase over time as chains become more specialized. The TMT Super Metaverse is a sharded blockchain, which means it connects multiple chains in a network, allowing them to process transactions in parallel and exchange data between chains while providing security. Due to the unique heterogeneous sharding model of the TMT supercomputer universe, each sidechain in the network can be optimized for a specific scenario, rather than being forced to adapt to a one-size-fits-all model. More sidechains and higher levels of specialization mean more opportunities for innovation. Sidechains are a proposal to support trustless interactions between the Bitcoin main chain and subsidiary chains. But there are no specific regulations for rich interactions with side chains: interactions are limited to allowing the side chain to host each other’s assets, which is the two-way peg in the jargon. Ultimately, it is also to be a framework that allows external transactions outside the Bitcoin protocol by anchoring the Bitcoin chain and other chains, and adding peripheral peripheral functions to Bitcoin. In this regard, sidechain systems focus more on scalability than scalability.

Fundamentally speaking, sidechains do not have a clause on validity. From one chain (such as Bitcoin) tokens to another chain, the security is only hoped that the sidechain can incentivize users to verify consistently trade. The security of the Bitcoin network cannot simply work on other chains. Furthermore, a protocol was proposed to ensure that Bitcoin miners merge-mined (replicate their consistent computing power to the sidechain), and at the same time validate sidechain transactions. TMT is a multi-chain system proposed by continuing the side chain idea, replacing Satoshi Nakamoto’s PoW consensus algorithm with Jae Know’s Tendermint consensus algorithm. Essentially, it consists of multiple blockchains (running in spatial zones) using independent Tendermint instances, and a central (hub) chain using trustless communication. Cross-chain communication is limited to the transfer of digital assets (that is, tokens), not arbitrary information. However, this cross-chain communication can return data and paths, such as notifying the sender of the status of the transfer. Like sidechains, the issue of economic incentives for validators on Spacechain has not been resolved. The general assumption is that each space chain will hold its own inflation-added payment tokens. The design is still relatively early, and the details of the economic means to establish scalable consistency on global validity are lacking at this stage. However, compared to those systems that require strong coupling, more flexibility needs to be added to the parameters of the space chain for loose coupling between the space chain and the central chain.

3 Scalability — a blockchain that will grow

One blockchain is not enough to support the prosperous future of decentralized applications, and the limited throughput and lack of specialized runtimes of early blockchains made them unscalable in many practical scenarios. By bridging multiple private chains into a sharded network, TMT allows multiple transactions to be processed in parallel. This system removes the bottlenecks that previously occurred in the network where transactions were processed one by one.
TMT will be able to scale further in the future with nested relay chains, which will increase the number of shards that can be added to the network.

4 Cross-chain composability — a design that emphasizes collaboration

Early blockchains were like walled gardens locked out of other networks. But as the number of blockchains for specific scenarios continues to increase, so does the need for cross-chain communication and interoperability. The cross-chain composability and messaging underlying BSC allows shards to communicate, exchange value, and share functions, opening the door to a new wave of innovation. Since the underlying public chain of BSC can connect to the blockchain, TMT supercomputing shards with the BSC public chain as the underlying protocol will also be able to interact with popular decentralized financial protocols and encrypted assets on external networks such as Ethereum.
