Abstract

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2024 ACM CoNEXT Workshop on the Decentralization of the Internet (DIN). This workshop serves as a vital forum to explore cuttingedge research, practical implementations, and new directions for decentralizing the architecture of the Internet. The workshop is connected to the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) Research Group on the Decentralization of the Internet (DINRG). Recent years have witnessed the consolidations of the Internet applications, services, as well as the infrastructure, often with detrimental effects on society and user control of their own data. As the need for resilient, scalable, and user-centered network infrastructures becomes increasingly evident, this workshop convenes researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to discuss the technologies and methodologies driving the next generation of decentralized internet systems.

A Two-phase Protocol for Atomic Multi-chain Transactions

A blockchain enables secure, atomic transactions among untrusted parties. Atomicity is not guaranteed, however, for transactions whose operations span several blockchains; multi-chain atomicity must be enforced by a protocol. Such protocols are known ...
