abstract = {AI-Generated Content (AIGC) services are essential in developing the Metaverse, providing various digital content to build shared virtual environments. AIGC services can offer personalized content with user assistance, making the Metaverse more human-centric. However, it is difficult for participants to exchange data and construct trust among unknown Metaverse participants. To address the above challenge, we propose an integration of blockchain and AIGC to construct decentralized trust among participants. We design a smart contract-based verification mechanism to prevent random outcomes of AIGC services and guarantee the authenticity of digital contents. Given the quality of digital contents provided by the previous mechanisms, we then utilize them as metrics to establish a Stackelberg game-based content caching mechanism to maximize Metaverse participants' profits. Simulation results show that the proposed caching mechanism can improve utility by 30% compared to other mechanisms. © 2023 IEEE.},
