Spec2Twin-Chain: Orchestrating Bi-Level Optimization with LLMs for Blockchain Digital Twin Construction

Abstract

Building a blockchain digital twin largely requires translating domain knowledge and specific system descriptions into a simulator architecture, calibrating its parameters against behavioral evidence, and validating the constructed twin. These steps are commonly performed through application-specific modeling efforts that can be difficult to reuse across systems and downstream decision problems. We consider automating this process through Spec2Twin-Chain, a framework that formulates blockchain digital-twin construction as a bi-level optimization problem. At the upper level, a large language model proposes and revises structurally admissible architectures using system specifications, behavioral evidence, and feedback from evaluated designs. At the lower level, a simulation-based optimizer calibrates the architecture-conditioned parameters under explicit objectives and guardrail constraints. The two levels iterate. The evaluated candidates at lower levels are retained in a global archive and used to guide subsequent proposals at upper levels. We conduct controlled experiments involving twin calibration, feedback-driven recovery, stress analysis, downstream policy optimization, and policy updating. The results demonstrate that the framework can construct behaviorally accurate twins, improve initial designs through iterative feedback, and reuse calibrated twins to support downstream decisions.
