Demo: Blockchain-Based NFT Resource Marketplace for Efficient 6G Network Slicing
As 6G networks introduce increasingly diverse and complex applications, network slicing is a key enabling technology for partitioning network resources to meet these dynamic demands. However, efficiently managing and allocating these finite resources has become vital. This necessity drives the adoption of an open marketplace model. To address the business and technical complexities associated with such open marketplaces, this paper presents the demonstration of a non-fungible token (NFT)-enabled resource trading marketplace tailored for 6G network slicing. The proposed solution is implemented on an Ethereum-based blockchain system to assess its viability.
