Blockchain is regarded as one of the most promising technologies to upgrade e-commerce. This article analyzes the challenges that current e-commerce is facing and introduces a new scenario of e-commerce enabled by blockchain. A framework is proposed for mining tasks in this scenario offloaded onto edge servers based on mobile edge computing. Then, the offloading issue is modeled as a multi-constrained optimization problem, and evolutionary algorithms are utilized and re-designed as solvers. The experimental results validate the efficiency of the framework and algorithms and also show that the lower bound of computation resources exists to obtain the maximum overall revenue.

区块链电子商务中激励驱动的计算卸载

区块链被认为是最有前途的电子商务升级技术之一。本文分析了当前电子商务面临的挑战，并介绍了区块链赋能电子商务的新场景。提出了一种框架，用于在这种情况下卸载到基于移动边缘计算的边缘服务器上的挖掘任务。然后，卸载问题被建模为多约束优化问题，进化算法被利用并重新设计为求解器。实验结果验证了框架和算法的效率，也表明存在计算资源的下界以获得最大的整体收益。
