摘要

Digital heritage preservation benefits from blockchain’s secure, decentralized management, but faces scalability issues like high costs and congestion. To address this, we propose VERAONET, a novel Layer-2 framework with a pluggable consensus architecture enabling dynamic switching between Proof of Work (PoW), Adjustable PoW (APoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), and Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) based on real-time network conditions. Evaluated in Ganache (10–500 users) and Geth (50–10,000 users) testbeds, results show PoS and DPoS excelled under high load, reducing latency and gas consumption, while PoW/APoW were effective for low-traffic, high-security needs. The adaptive algorithm enhanced transaction finality and resource efficiency, proving highly suitable for dynamic virtual museums. VERAONET provides a scalable, sustainable infrastructure for cultural heritage, with future work on AI-driven optimization and cross-chain interoperability.
