Abstract

The traditional online data exchanges are processed through the third-parties’ support. However, such mode is facing the problem on personal privacy disclosure and relate issues. Blockchain has been proposed as a promising diagram as the new approach for data organization and management, especially for the online data exchanges. It can provide reliable and credible service for business and related requirements as the decentralization technology. The blockchain network itself is always the focus of the whole system for it’s the foundation of all the services. When more than one blockchains is proposed to provide different services for different using environments, it is becoming a challenge on how to exchange the data between the different blockchains. In this paper, we provide the design of unitary, which a novel sustainable interchain network framework for blockchain. Unitary Interchain Network is a network consists of infinite parallel global blockchain networks. It is a distributed P2P network of decentralized networks. It can provide sustainable service as the basic blockchain network.
