This study investigates the 6th Generation (6G) wireless communication network as a vital component of Ubiquitous Learning, which makes it possible to build trustworthy relationships and accurate intelligence in a variety of contexts. The important significance of blockchain technology is recognized, and its potential to improve the performance of the 6G network is investigated. Blockchain technology powers Ubiquitous Learning as a decentralized tool. But in Ubiquitous Learning contexts, problems arise when varied communication settings, information asymmetry, and resource limits confront wireless-connected devices functioning as blockchain consensus nodes. To solve these difficulties, which are critical for Ubiquitous Learning, a blockchain sharding and incentive system is presented. The purpose of this technique is to improve the learning process in the 6G network by cultivating reliable intelligence. A sharding architecture that integrates a contract theory-based incentive mechanism and a realistic Byzantine fault tolerance mechanism, particularly tailored for Ubiquitous Learning settings, is described. This model analyses the useful Byzantine consensus mechanism and block broadcast characteristics in wireless networks. This study finds the best contract combination for both completely symmetric and asymmetric information scenarios, optimizing block rewards for customers that seek blockchain services.
