Abstract

The rapid advancements in technology have led to the emergence of innovative concepts like Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) delivery systems, the Metaverse, and Blockchain. As these technologies gain traction, their integration is expected to revolutionize various industries. In this paper, we propose a Blockchain-based Metaverse UAV delivery solution and a secure consensus protocol for UAV deliveries in Metaverse. Also, we conduct throughput tests using Ethereum permissioned chain. The results are promising, demonstrating that drone delivery will be an important element in future Metaverse shopping experiences. This research investigates the convergence of UAV delivery systems, the Metaverse, and Blockchain, and their implications for the future of virtual shopping experiences. The study investigates the opportunities and challenges arising from the integration of these technologies and assesses their potential synergies through the literature review and real-world case studies. Also, the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed architecture and consensus algorithm for drone deliveries, highlighting its ability to handle increasing network loads and maintain optimal performance.
