Resumo(s)
Blockchain interoperability is critical for decentralized peer-to-peer energy trading in
interconnected microgrids, yet the performance trade-offs of single-chain versus multi-chain
architectures remain poorly understood. This study evaluates the feasibility and efficiency of
Cosmos-based blockchain setups for energy transactions, comparing on-chain execution with
cross-chain transfers using the Hermes relayer. Through experimental simulations with
synthetic energy data, cross-chain transactions demonstrated a 24% increase in gas costs
compared to on-chain operations. However, absolute costs remained low, suggesting practical
viability despite overheads. These findings highlight a trade-off: multi-chain architectures
enable decentralized flexibility across microgrids at modest operational costs, though
scalability and security require further optimization. The study provides a foundational
framework for evaluating blockchain interoperability in energy systems, underscoring the
need for future work integrating real-world datasets and heterogeneous blockchain ecosystems
to advance resilient, decentralized energy markets.
