Eden: An Provably Secure, Ultra-Fast, and Fully Decentralized Blockchain Interoperability Protocol (2311.17454v2)

Abstract: As the blockchain ecosystem grows and diversifies, seamless interoperability between blockchain networks has become essential. Interoperability not only enhances the usability and reach of individual chains but also fosters collaboration, unlocking new opportunities for decentralized applications. In this paper, we introduce Eden, the parallel-verified messaging protocol powering SparkleX. Eden is an elastic, decentralized envoy network built on a zero-knowledge MapReduce framework (i.e., ZK-MapReduce), enabling ultra-fast, secure, and fully decentralized cross-chain communication. We explore Eden's design, its robust security model, and the innovative mechanisms that ensure its elasticity and resilience, even in demanding network environments.
