A Uniﬁed Blockchain-Semantic Framework for

Wireless Edge Intelligence Enabled Web 3.0

Abstract—Web 3.0 enables user-generated contents and user-

selected authorities. With decentralized wireless edge computing

architectures, Web 3.0 allows users to read, write, and own con-

tents. A core technology that enables Web 3.0 goals is blockchain,

which provides security services by recording content in a

decentralized and transparent manner. However, the explosion of

on-chain recorded contents and the fast-growing number of users

cause increasingly unaffordable computing and storage resource

consumption. A promising paradigm is to analyze the semantic

information of contents that can convey precisely the desired

meanings without consuming many resources. In this article,

we propose a uniﬁed blockchain-semantic ecosystems framework

for wireless edge intelligence-enabled Web 3.0. Our framework

consists of six key components to exchange semantic demands.

We then introduce an Oracle-based proof of semantic mechanism

to implement on-chain and off-chain interactions of Web 3.0

ecosystems on semantic veriﬁcation algorithms while maintaining

service security. An adaptive Deep Reinforcement Learning-based

sharding mechanism on Oracle is designed to improve interaction

efﬁciency, which can facilitate Web 3.0 ecosystems to deal with

varied semantic demands. Finally, a case study is presented

to show that the proposed framework can dynamically adjust

Oracle settings according to varied semantic demands.

I. INTRODUCTION

THE Web has become an inseparable part of human lives

around the world since the unprecedented evolution of

wireless communication technologies from 4G, 5G to 6G.

There are three iterations of the Web, which are classiﬁed as

Web 1.0, Web 2.0, and Web 3.0. Web 1.0 was created by Tim

Berners-Lee in 1989 to construct information networks and

provide users with static resources to read through centralized

architectures. The current web, i.e., Web 2.0, is a term coined

by Tim O’Reilly in 2007 [1], which enables users to read

and write dynamic contents through distributed architectures

to form social networks. Recently, Web 3.0 is becoming a

promising concept as the next generation of information in-

frastructures due to the development of cutting-edge technolo-

gies, e.g., blockchain, semantic communication, and wireless

edge computing. Rather than implementing computation and

data storage in centralized data centers, Web 3.0 leverages

decentralized wireless edge computing architectures to ofﬂoad

compute and storage capacity to the wireless edge side close to

users. More importantly, it permits users to read, write and own

contents, e.g., text, image, and video, through decentralized

wireless edge computing architectures to build a smarter and

more socially, economically connected society.

Secure data storage and efﬁcient information interaction

have always been the focus of Web researches. To ensure

the ﬁrst goal, i.e., data security, Blockchain-based Web 3.0

was proposed by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood in 2014

[2], which makes extensive use of blockchain ecosystems to

achieve user-generated contents and user-selected authorities.

Speciﬁcally, unlike the current Web 2.0 where content is

controlled by tech giants without users’ involvement and per-

mission, Web 3.0 uses blockchain to record on-chain content

in a decentralized, transparent, and traceable manner. By now,

both academia and industries have agreed that Web 3.0 should

be enabled by blockchain to guarantee transparency, security,

and efﬁciency. As the new generation of Internet applications

continues to emerge, i.e., Metaverse, users can access Web

3.0 services through a virtual avatar provided by Metaverse.

With the help of the integration of new technologies, Web

3.0 can secure data information without the intervention of

third parties [3]. However, signiﬁcant computing and storage

resources are consumed to record the content. Information

overload on Web 3.0 takes up too many resources on wireless

edge devices and limits the number of devices covered by the

Web 3.0 network.

The recent vigorous development of semantic communi-

cation has brought potential solutions to this problem and

achieved the second goal of Web 3.0 systems, i.e., efﬁcient

information interaction. By analyzing the semantics of the

content rather than the original raw data, the system can run

more efﬁciently without affecting the completion of various

service tasks. The data of wireless edge devices can be reduced

to 2.5% by semantic communication compared with traditional

methods to enable efﬁcient information exchange [4]. Users

can also use and appreciate the semantic information and its

services more directly and effectively.

The analysis of content semantics in Web 3.0 can be

traced back to 2001 when the World Wide Web inventor Tim

Berners-Lee proposed Semantic Web 3.0 [5]. Machine learning

and artiﬁcial intelligence technologies are used to customize

semantic demands. Speciﬁcally, the application of semantic

mechanisms in Web 3.0 can bring the following beneﬁts:

•A proof of semantic mechanism can avoid user informa-

tion overload and reduce network resource consumption.

arXiv:2210.15130v1 [cs.CR] 27 Oct 2022

•The content security can be further enhanced by verifying

the semantics of the content.

•The efﬁciency of information interaction can be improved

and the goal-oriented communication can be achieved,

which reduces the latency and achieves the variety of

Web 3.0 services.

Therefore, Web 3.0 is expected to convey the semantics

of contents in decentralized wireless edge computing ar-

chitectures, and connect blockchain and off-chain semantic

ecosystems. However, even with the above beneﬁts, the design

of a blockchain-semantic ecosystem faces many difﬁculties.

On the one hand, it is difﬁcult for wireless edge devices

to process and exchange extensive semantic information in

the blockchain. The reason is that blockchain cannot invoke

actively off-chain contents to achieve a consensus. Moreover,

since on-chain resources are limited and expensive, semantic

extraction algorithms cannot be executed by miners through

smart contracts. These limitations cause insecure services on

on-chain and off-chain interactions. On the other hand, a well-

designed semantic veriﬁcation mechanism can reduce addi-

tional network resource consumption in transmitting irrelative

contents to consumers. The data exploration in the Web 3.0 era

further challenges the performance of decentralized wireless

edge computing architectures.

To solve the aforementioned problems, we are the ﬁrst to

propose a uniﬁed blockchain-semantic ecosystems framework

for wireless edge intelligence-enabled Web 3.0. The frame-

work contains six key components to consider the content

semantics, and exploit Oracle to integrate blockchain and off-

chain semantic ecosystems. Our contributions are summarized

as follows:

•To capitalize on the great beneﬁts of semantic commu-

nication, we propose a uniﬁed blockchain and semantic

ecosystems framework for wireless edge intelligence-

enabled Web 3.0. To the best of our knowledge, this

is the ﬁrst work on wireless edge-intelligence enabled

Web 3.0. We believe that this is a timely study, as the

blockchain and semantic ecosystems are widely used in

many scenarios, like Metaverse.

•To maintain service security, we design an Oracle-based

proof of semantic mechanism to implement on-chain

and off-chain interactions and transfer on-chain semantic

veriﬁcation algorithms to off-chain Oracle for reaching

a consensus on semantic information in loosely trusted

environments.

•To improve interaction efﬁciency, we establish an adap-

tive DRL-based sharding mechanism for veriﬁers of Or-

acle to cater varied semantic demands in dynamic Web

3.0 environments.

II. WIRELESS EDGE INTELLIGENCE-ENABLED WEB 3.0

In this section, we ﬁrst introduce technologies and applica-

tions related to Web 3.0. We then discuss how wireless edge

intelligence enables Web 3.0. Finally, we demonstrate Web

3.0 research gaps as our motivation for designing the uniﬁed

blockchain-semantic ecosystems framework.

A. Introduction of Web 3.0

From read-only Web 1.0 information networks and read-

write Web 2.0 platform networks, Web 3.0 promises to be

read-write-execute value networks [6] based on blockchain,

semantic ecosystems, and wireless edge computing, which can

achieve user-generated content and user-selected authorities.

Blockchain is widely considered to be a modern usage of

Web 3.0 to provide a decentralized way to develop an open

and transparent web experience for users. Besides, semantic

ecosystems that can combine with other information infras-

tructures, like AI and 6G, provide a data-driven way to

develop an intelligent and connected web experience for users.

Moreover, wireless edge computing provides an efﬁcient way

to process data at the wireless network edge on devices for

users, since intelligent devices permit the core network to

decentralize computing and storage capabilities to the wireless

edge to reduce the load. Current Web 3.0 mainly focuses on

blockchain-enabled applications, including DIDs, DeFi, DAM,

and Metaverse.

Decentralized Identiﬁers (DIDs): Web 3.0 enables data

owners to maintain of the contents that they produced, and

DIDs facilitate users of Web 3.0 to control information and

privacy around themselves instead of storing entirely on cen-

tralized and propriety databases controlled by tech giants.

DIDs are the cornerstone of other Web 3.0 technologies,

like DeFi, DAM, and Metaverse, to exchange securely signed

information in a user-centric and user-controlled way.

Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Web 3.0 supported by

blockchain is used to create digital economies for traditional

economies through tokenization, which reshapes the ﬁnancial

business. DeFi products and services are developed through

smart contracts on blockchain to enable anyone more con-

trol to access and trade products and services through self-

controlled wallets regardless of who or where they are.

Digital Asset Management (DAM): User-generated con-

tents and authorities of Web 3.0 are digital assets, like cryp-

tocurrency, non-fungible tokens, virtual real estate, and user

avatars. DAM allows users to create, own, access, trade, and

destroy their digital assets. In addition, governments can also

beneﬁt from DAM of Web 3.0 to reduce transaction costs in

regulation.

Metaverse: User-centric perspectives of Web 3.0 facilitate

users to immerse themselves in the world constructed by

Metaverse and serve as the basis for connectivity of Metaverse,

which is supported by blockchain, wireless edge computing,

and interactive technologies.

B. Wireless Edge Intelligence-Enabled Web 3.0

To the best of our knowledge, relatively few work consid-

ered the integration of blockchain and semantic communica-

tion to implement wireless edge intelligence-enabled Web 3.0.

The literature on Web 3.0 can be classiﬁed as blockchain Web

3.0 and semantic Web 3.0. A comparison between our paper

and the related papers in the literature is shown in Table I.

Blockchain Web 3.0 is based on blockchain ecosystems

to achieve Web 3.0 in a decentralized way. Researchers focus

on different core layers of blockchain to facilitate Web 3.0.
