Project Architecture:

The AsteR Metaverse project protocol is composed of three layers:

  1. Consensus Layer: This layer tracks asset ownership and content. Asset ownership is established using a hash of the file’s content. The file includes descriptions of sounds, objects, textures, and other elements required to render the game scene. It also contains a URL to coordinate peer-to-peer (P2P) connections.

  2. Asset Content Layer: This layer allows for the decentralized downloading of assets, facilitating content distribution without a centralized system.

These layers work together to ensure smooth gameplay and decentralized content management in the AsteR Metaverse.

Consensus Layer: The AsteR Metaverse utilizes the Binance Smart Chain and smart contracts to maintain a ledger of asset ownership. Each asset has unique (x, y) coordinates, an owner, and a reference to a content description file that encodes the owner’s intended use of the in-game assets.

Content Distribution Layer: The AsteR Metaverse employs a decentralized storage protocol to distribute the content required for rendering the metaverse. For each rendered parcel, a reference to the content file is retrieved from the smart contract. This decentralized system operates without a centralized infrastructure, with the cost of hosting and bandwidth currently borne by users. In the future, the project aims to implement a cost distribution model.

Real-time Layer: Users in the AsteR Metaverse can communicate through peer-to-peer (P2P) connections facilitated by servers hosted by asset owners and third parties. These P2P connections are essential for social interactions in the absence of a centralized structure. Asset owners will provide rendezvous servers to coordinate user connections.
