摘要	With the development of blockchain applications, demand for cross-chain technology has been increasing. Relay chain mode is the state-of-the-art and mainstream solution nowadays. However, the relay chain mode suffers from poor performance, which stems from its core facility - the relay chain. Therefore, guiding its improvement and parameters configuration is vital. Currently, there is no specialized performance model of the relay chain. The cross-chain scenario involves receiving transactions from blockchains and uniformly verifying them, while general blockchain models are not applicable for it. Relay chains are characterized by the following features: transaction arrival in batches with uncertain sizes, updating block headers for simplified payment verification (SPV), Byzantine fault tolerance (BFT) type protocol, and different packaging rules. This work first proposes an analytical framework for relay chain performance. It captures the mentioned features by constructing a batch-arrival and bulk-service model. We give a concrete calculation of the relay chain with practical BFT (PBFT) consensus and develop a method to arrive at the computational forms of two essential performance descriptors: system throughput and cross-chain transaction confirmation delay. Through this model, we can judge accurately whether the relay chain is overloaded, and eliminate the overload state by tuning the parameters; and we can evaluate the system performance under different traffic and design parameters. Finally, we verify the model through experiments. With our study, operators can configure the system parameters effectively and improve the relay chain to meet the requirements of practical use.
