The metaverse is regarded as a new wave of technological transformation that provides a virtual space for people to interact with each other through digital avatars. To achieve immersive user experiences in the metaverse, real-time rendering is the key technology. However, computing intensive tasks of real-time graphic and audio rendering from metaverse service providers cannot be processed efficiently on a single resource-limited mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) device. Alternatively, such devices can adopt the collaborative computing paradigm based on Coded Distributed Computing (CDC) to support metaverse services. Therefore, this paper introduces a reliable collaborative CDC framework for metaverse. In the framework, idle resources from mobile devices, acting as CDC workers, are aggregated to handle intensive computation tasks in the metaverse. A coalition can be formed among reliable workers based on a reputation metric which is maintained in a double blockchains database. The framework also considers an incentive to attract reliable workers to participate and process computation tasks of metaverse services. Moreover, the framework is designed with a hierarchical structure composed of coalition formation and Stackelberg games in the lower and upper levels to determine stable coalitions and rewards for reliable workers, respectively. The simulation results illustrate that the proposed framework is resistant to malicious workers. Compared with the random worker selection scheme, the proposed coalition formation and Stackelberg game can improve the utilities of both metaverse service providers and CDC workers.

Metaverse as the latest buzzword has attracted great attention from both industry and academia. Metaverse seamlessly integrates the real world with the virtual world and allows avatars to carry out rich activities including creation, display, entertainment, social networking, and trading. Thus, it is promising to build an exciting digital world and to transform a better physical world through the exploration of the metaverse. In this survey, we dive into the metaverse by discussing how Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence (AI) fuse with it through investigating the state-of-the-art studies across the metaverse components, digital currencies, AI applications in virtual world, and blockchain-empowered technologies. Further exploitation and interdisciplinary research on the fusion of AI and Blockchain towards metaverse will definitely require collaboration from both academia and industries. We wish to see that our survey can help researchers, engineers, and educators build an open, fair, and rational future metaverse.

Metaverse has recently attracted paramount attention due to its potential for future Internet. However, to fully realize such potential, Metaverse applications have to overcome various challenges such as massive resource demands, interoperability among applications, and security and privacy concerns. In this paper, we propose MetaChain, a novel blockchain-based framework to address emerging challenges for the development of Metaverse applications. In particular, by utilizing the smart contract mechanism, MetaChain can effectively manage and automate complex interactions among the Metaverse Service Provider (MSP) and the Metaverse users (MUs). In addition, to allow the MSP to efficiently allocate its resources for Metaverse applications and MUs' demands, we design a novel sharding scheme to improve the underlying blockchain's scalability. Moreover, to leverage MUs' resources as well as to attract more MUs to support Metaverse operations, we develop an incentive mechanism using the Stackelberg game theory that rewards MUs' contributions to the Metaverse. Through numerical experiments, we clearly show the impacts of the MUs' behaviors and how the incentive mechanism can attract more MUs and resources to the Metaverse.
