WeBank Applies For Blockchain Node Consensus Patent

According to PANews, the State Intellectual Property Office has revealed that Shenzhen Qianhai WeBank Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application for a method, device, equipment, and medium related to node consensus in blockchain systems. The patent, published under the number CN 119172383 A, was submitted on September 2024. The patent abstract outlines a method within a blockchain system where each node locally stores a transaction chain list corresponding to each node. In this method, any batch package within a node's transaction chain list is created based on the voting information of each node meeting preset requirements for the previous batch package. This allows the consensus main node to accurately identify the last batch package that meets the preset requirements as the target batch package from the locally stored transaction chain lists. Only the target batch package of each node's transaction chain list is packaged into a consensus message package, eliminating the need to package all transactions. This approach enhances packaging efficiency and broadcasts the consensus message package, enabling the consensus secondary nodes within the blockchain system to reach consensus on the target batch package contained in the consensus message package without requiring consensus on each transaction. This further improves the efficiency of node consensus in the blockchain system.
