Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with one or more embodiments of the present specification.

It should be noted that: in other embodiments, the steps of the corresponding methods are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described herein. In some other embodiments, the method may include more or fewer steps than those described herein. Moreover, a single step described in this specification may be broken down into multiple steps for description in other embodiments; multiple steps described in this specification may be combined into a single step in other embodiments.

The block chain or block chain network described in one or more embodiments of the present specification may specifically refer to a P2P network system having a distributed data storage structure, where each node device achieves through a common recognition mechanism, the book data in the block chain is distributed within temporally consecutive "blocks", and the latter block may include a data digest of the former block, and according to a difference of a specific common recognition mechanism (such as POW, POS, DPOS, PBFT, or the like), a full backup of data of all or part of nodes is achieved.

Blockchains are generally divided into three types: public chain (Public Blockchain), Private chain (Private Blockchain) and alliance chain (Consortium Blockchain). Furthermore, there may be a combination of the above types, such as private chain + federation chain, federation chain + public chain, and so on.

Among them, the most decentralized is the public chain. The public chain is represented by bitcoin and ether house, and participants (also called nodes in the block chain) joining the public chain can read data records on the chain, participate in transactions, compete for accounting rights of new blocks, and the like. Moreover, each node can freely join or leave the network and perform related operations.

Private chains are the opposite, with the network's write rights controlled by an organization or organization and the data read rights specified by the organization. Briefly, a private chain may be a weakly centralized system with strict restrictions on nodes and a small number of nodes. This type of blockchain is more suitable for use within a particular establishment.

A federation chain is a block chain between a public chain and a private chain, and "partial decentralization" can be achieved. Each node in a federation chain typically has a physical organization or organization corresponding to it; the nodes are authorized to join the network and form a benefit-related alliance, and block chain operation is maintained together.

It is contemplated that the embodiments provided herein can be implemented in any suitable type of blockchain network.

The computing device may construct the data into a standard transaction (transaction) format supported by the blockchain, then issue the transaction to the blockchain, perform consensus processing on the received transaction by the node devices in the blockchain, and package the transaction into a block by the node devices serving as accounting nodes in the blockchain after the consensus is achieved, and perform persistent evidence storage in the blockchain.

Regardless of which consensus algorithm is adopted by the block chain, the accounting node can pack the received transaction to generate a latest block and send the latest block to other node devices for consensus verification. If the latest block is received by other node equipment and no problem is proved, the latest block can be added to the tail of the original block chain, so that the accounting process of the block chain is completed. The transactions contained in the block may also be performed during the process of the other nodes verifying the new block sent by the accounting node.

It should be noted that, each time a block chain generates a latest block, after a transaction in the latest block is executed, the corresponding status of the executed transactions in the block chain changes accordingly, for example, in the block chain structured by an account model, the account status of an external account or an intelligent contract account usually changes correspondingly with the execution of the transaction.

For example, when a "transfer transaction" is completed in a block, the balances of the transferring party account and the transferring party account associated with the "transfer transaction" (i.e., the field values of the Balance fields of these accounts) are usually changed.

For another example, the "intelligent contract invocation transaction" in the block is used to invoke an intelligent contract deployed on the blockchain, invoke the intelligent contract in the EVM corresponding to the node device to execute the "intelligent contract invocation transaction", and update the account status of the intelligent contract account in the account of the intelligent contract after the execution of the intelligent contract invocation transaction.

In practical applications, whether public, private, or alliance, it is possible to provide the functionality of a Smart contract (Smart contract). An intelligent contract on a blockchain is a contract on a blockchain that can be executed triggered by a transaction. An intelligent contract may be defined in the form of code.

Taking an Etherhouse as an example, a user is supported to create and call some complex logic in the Etherhouse network. The ethernet workshop is used as a programmable block chain, and the core of the ethernet workshop is an ethernet workshop virtual machine (EVM), and each ethernet workshop node can run the EVM. The EVM is a well-behaved virtual machine through which various complex logic can be implemented. The user issuing and invoking smart contracts in the etherhouse is running on the EVM. In fact, the EVM directly runs virtual machine code (virtual machine bytecode, hereinafter referred to as "bytecode"), so the intelligent contract deployed on the blockchain may be bytecode.

After Bob sends a Transaction (Transaction) containing information to create a smart contract to the ethernet network, each node can execute the Transaction in the EVM, as shown in fig. 1. The From field of the transaction in the figure is used for recording the address of the account initiating the creation of the intelligent contract, the contract code stored in the field value of the Data field of the transaction can be byte code, and the field value of the To field of the transaction is a null account. After the nodes reach the agreement through the consensus mechanism, the intelligent contract is successfully created, and the follow-up user can call the intelligent contract.

After the intelligent contract is established, a contract account corresponding to the intelligent contract appears on the block chain, and the block chain has a specific address; for example, "0 x68e12cf284 …" in each node in fig. 1 represents the address of the contract account created; the contract Code (Code) and account store (Storage) will be maintained in the account store for that contract account. The behavior of the intelligent contract is controlled by the contract code, while the account storage of the intelligent contract preserves the state of the contract. In other words, the intelligent contract causes a virtual account to be generated on the blockchain that contains the contract code and account storage.

As mentioned above, the Data field containing the transaction that created the intelligent contract may hold the byte code of the intelligent contract. A bytecode consists of a series of bytes, each of which can identify an operation. Based on the multiple considerations of development efficiency, readability and the like, a developer can select a high-level language to write intelligent contract codes instead of directly writing byte codes. For example, the high-level language may employ a language such as Solidity, Serpent, LLL, and the like. For intelligent contract code written in a high-level language, the intelligent contract code can be compiled by a compiler to generate byte codes which can be deployed on a blockchain.

Taking the Solidity language as an example, the contract code written by it is very similar to a Class (Class) in the object-oriented programming language, and various members including state variables, functions, function modifiers, events, etc. can be declared in one contract. A state variable is a value permanently stored in an account Storage (Storage) field of an intelligent contract to save the state of the contract.

As shown in FIG. 2, still taking the Etherhouse as an example, after Bob sends a transaction containing the information of the calling intelligent contract to the Etherhouse network, each node can execute the transaction in the EVM. The From field of the transaction in the figure is used for recording the address of the account initiating the intelligent contract calling, the To field is used for recording the address of the intelligent contract called, and the Data field of the transaction is used for recording the method and the parameters for calling the intelligent contract. After invoking the smart contract, the account status of the contract account may change. Subsequently, a client may check the account status of the contract account through the accessed block link points, for example, the account status may be stored in the Storage tree of the intelligent contract in the form of a Key-Value pair. The results of the execution of the transaction that invokes the smart contract, which may be in the form of a transaction receipt (receipt), are stored in the MPT receipt tree.

The intelligent contract can be independently executed at each node in the blockchain network in a specified mode, and all execution records and data are stored on the blockchain, so that after the transaction is executed, transaction certificates which cannot be tampered and lost are stored on the blockchain.

A schematic diagram of creating an intelligent contract and invoking the intelligent contract is shown in fig. 3. An intelligent contract is created in an Ethernet workshop and needs to be subjected to the processes of compiling the intelligent contract, changing the intelligent contract into byte codes, deploying the intelligent contract to a block chain and the like. The intelligent contract is called in the Ethernet workshop, a transaction pointing to the intelligent contract address is initiated, the EVM of each node can respectively execute the transaction, and the intelligent contract code is distributed and operated in the virtual machine of each node in the Ethernet workshop network.

For accounts in a blockchain, the account status of the account is usually maintained through a structure. When a transaction in a block is executed, the status of the account associated with the transaction in the block chain is also typically changed.

Taking etherhouses as an example, the structure of an account usually includes fields such as Balance, Nonce, Code and Storage. Wherein:

a Balance field for maintaining the current account Balance of the account;

a Nonce field for maintaining a number of transactions for the account; the counter is used for guaranteeing that each transaction can be processed only once, and replay attack is effectively avoided;

a Code field for maintaining a contract Code for the account; in practical applications, only the hash value of the contract Code is typically maintained in the Code field; thus, the Code field is also commonly referred to as the Codhash field.

A Storage field for maintaining the Storage contents of the account (default field value is null); for a contract account, a separate storage space is usually allocated to store the storage content of the contract account; this separate storage space is often referred to as the account storage of the contract account. The storage content of the contract account is usually constructed into a data structure of an MPT (Merkle Patricia Trie) tree and stored in the independent storage space; in which, the Storage content based on the contract account is constructed into an MPT tree, which is also commonly referred to as a Storage tree. Whereas the Storage field typically maintains only the root node of the Storage tree; thus, the Storage field is also commonly referred to as the Storage root field.

Wherein, for the external account, the field values of the Code field and the Storage field shown above are both null values.

For most blockchain models, Merkle trees are typically used; alternatively, the data is stored and maintained based on the data structure of the Merkle tree. Taking etherhouses as an example, the etherhouses use MPT tree (a Merkle tree variation) as a data organization form for organizing and managing important data such as account status, transaction information, and the like.

The Etherhouse designs three MPT trees, namely an MPT state tree, an MPT transaction tree and an MPT receipt tree, aiming at data needing to be stored and maintained in a block chain. In addition to the three MPT trees, there is actually a Storage tree constructed based on the Storage content of the contract account.

An MPT state tree, which is an MPT tree organized by account state data of all accounts in a blockchain; an MPT transaction tree, which is an MPT tree organized by transaction (transaction) data in a blockchain; the MPT receipt tree is organized into transaction (receipt) receipts corresponding to each transaction generated after the transactions in the block are executed. The hash values of the root nodes of the MPT state tree, the MPT transaction tree, and the MPT receipt tree shown above are eventually added to the block header of the corresponding block.

The MPT transaction tree and the MPT receipt tree correspond to the blocks, namely each block has the MPT transaction tree and the MPT receipt tree. For the MPT transaction tree, the MPT receipt tree and the MPT state tree which are organized, the MPT transaction tree, the MPT receipt tree and the MPT state tree are finally stored in a Key-Value type database (such as a levelDB) which adopts a multi-level data storage structure.

In the public chain field, the miners are often encouraged to carry out block chaining out through gas, token and other modes, and the miners can select higher-commission-cost transactions such as gas or token to preferentially pack in blocks so as to increase self income; for the non-miner nodes, although the storage and consensus resources are contributed, corresponding benefits are not obtained. In a token-free (token) -based blockchain model, such as a federation chain, especially in an open federation chain environment, how to count blockchain resources provided by node devices and cover corresponding node costs is also an urgent issue to be solved. At present, there is no method for resource management and charging for users of the blockchain based on the use or occupation of blockchain resources.

In view of the above, one or more embodiments of the present specification provide various resource charging approaches in a blockchain system. It is contemplated that the embodiments provided herein can be implemented in a suitable type of blockchain network, such as a public chain, a federation chain, a private chain, and so forth.

The management platform according to one or more embodiments provided in this specification may include a platform that is provided in or connected to each node device of the blockchain, so as to manage each node device of the blockchain. Optionally, the management platform includes a cloud computing management platform, and correspondingly, the node device of the block chain includes a virtual machine created on a physical host managed by the cloud computing management platform.

The blockchain client described in one or more embodiments provided in this specification may be connected to a node device of a blockchain through the management platform, so as to send a transaction to a blockchain network or obtain a transaction execution result in the blockchain network based on communication with the management platform.

In the blockchain provided in this specification, the management platform performs value anchoring on system resources and virtual resources carried by node devices of the blockchain.

The virtual resources may include digitized forms of real assets circulating under the blockchain, such as assets in the form of currency, real estate, stocks, bonds, loan contracts, notes, accounts receivable, and the like; virtual resources circulating over the blockchain may also be included, such as virtual tokens (e.g., bitcoins, ethercoins, etc.) that begin circulating over the blockchain based on a mine excavation reward that is earned by a billing node (or miner node) of the blockchain packing and successfully adding blocks. Virtual tokens generated based on mineworker node mining typically do not have a value-anchoring relationship with real assets outside the chain; thus, in yet another illustrative embodiment, virtual resources published on a blockchain may include blockchain assets having a value-anchoring relationship with off-chain real assets held by a user, and virtual resources anchored to the frozen real assets and capable of circulation on the chain may be published on the chain by freezing real-world real assets (including assets in the form of currency, real property, stocks, loan contracts, tickets, accounts receivable, and the like).

When the method is realized, the user client side can perform an asset freezing exchange process with the management platform, freeze a certain amount of real assets and send a freezing certificate to the management platform; after receiving the frozen voucher, the management platform can instruct the node device to add virtual resources corresponding to the frozen real asset amount value to the balance of the user's blockchain account on the blockchain based on the frozen voucher.

The virtual resource corresponding to the frozen real asset amount value is added into the balance of the user's blockchain account based on the frozen certificate, and the method can be further realized by the interaction between the user and an intelligent contract: the management platform triggers a virtual resource exchange transaction sent to a blockchain network, wherein the virtual resource exchange transaction comprises the asset freezing voucher; responding to the virtual resource exchange transaction, the node equipment of the blockchain calls a virtual resource exchange contract deployed on the blockchain, executes the resource exchange logic declared by the intelligent contract, and adds virtual resources corresponding to the real asset amount value frozen by the asset freezing voucher into the account balance of the blockchain of the user.

Based on the mode, the user can obtain virtual resources which can be anchored with the value of the real assets in the block chain network based on the real assets held by the user, and the virtual resources can be expressed as the balance of the account on the chain of the user.

In the blockchain network system, the system resources provided by the blockchain node devices for the blockchain service can be value-anchored with the virtual resources. For example, the storage resources provided by the node device for the data on the blockchain may perform value anchoring with the virtual resources, and the blockchain data per storage unit capacity may obtain the virtual resources corresponding thereto; for another example, the CPU computational resources provided by the node device for executing any transaction on the blockchain may perform value anchoring with the virtual resources, and each CPU instruction set of the execution unit number may obtain the virtual resources corresponding thereto; for another example, the node device may perform value anchoring with the virtual resource for a network resource provided by broadcast or consensus of any transaction on the block chain, and may obtain the corresponding virtual resource based on network traffic consumed in the broadcast or consensus process of the uplink transaction.

The block chain developer or the management platform may quantify the system resources in the form of the storage resources, the computing resources, the network resources, and the like, and price the number of virtual resources corresponding to each unit of the storage resources, the computing resources, the network resources, or the system resources in other forms in the block chain network. For a federation chain, whose federation members are relatively fixed, the system resource pricing resulting from the anchoring can remain fixed for a longer period of time; for a public link system, nodes enter or exit a blockchain network more frequently, and after a blockchain developer performs unit pricing on the system resources in various forms, the blockchain developer performs real-time virtual resource transfer based on the blockchain scale when a user uses the blockchain, or performs periodic virtual resource transfer according to a shorter period. Those skilled in the art can also deduct virtual resources from the actual cost requirement to the user for the blockchain service provided by the blockchain node device based on any form of system resources having a value anchor relationship with the virtual resources, which is not limited in the present specification.

As shown in fig. 4, the method for recovering blockchain data provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, executed by the management platform, may include:

step 402, acquiring a data recovery transaction triggered by a blockchain client, wherein the data recovery transaction includes identification information of target data to be recovered.

The target data to be recovered is originally target data stored in a target intelligent contract account maintained by a user, for example, data stored in an account storage space (in the storage tree) of the target intelligent contract. The data of the account storage space of the intelligent contract may be stored in a Key-Value format, and the identification information of the target data may include a Key Value of the target data, such as a hash Value of the target data. The identification information of the target data may also include other identifications, such as a serial number of the data stored in the target intelligent contract, and the like.

Before step 402 occurs, the target data may be deleted from the target intelligent contract account based on a deletion operation of a user who maintains the managed target intelligent contract account, or a deletion instruction of a user with a high level of system management authority, such as a system administrator (when the storage period of the target data expires).

Optionally, the data recovery transaction may further include an account address of a target smart contract in which the target data to be recovered is located. At this time, the identification information of the target data may further include other identifications, such as a serial number of the data stored in the target smart contract account, and the like.

The present embodiment does not limit the builder identity of the data recovery transaction described above. In an illustrated embodiment, the data recovery transaction may be constructed by the blockchain client, and after construction, the data recovery transaction is sent to the management platform based on a trigger operation of a user at the client, so that the management platform can forward the transaction to a blockchain network after acquiring the data recovery transaction.

In yet another illustrated embodiment, the blockchain client may send the identification information of the target data to be recovered and the address information of the target intelligent contract to a management platform, so as to trigger the management platform to construct a data recovery transaction based on the identification information of the target data and the address information of the target intelligent contract, and send the constructed data recovery transaction to a blockchain network.

Step 404, calculating a first amount of system resources of a node device of the blockchain consumed for processing the data recovery transaction, and determining a second amount of the virtual resources anchored to the first amount of system resource value.

The process of processing the data recovery transaction by the node device of the blockchain may include one or more of receiving, forwarding (broadcasting) the data recovery transaction, performing consensus verification on the data recovery transaction, executing the data recovery transaction based on the identification information of the target data to restore and store the target data to the account storage space of the target smart contract, storing the execution result of the data recovery transaction to a state database of the blockchain, and listing the data recovery transaction in a new block. Because the value anchoring is carried out on the system resources carried by the node equipment and the virtual resources, and the node equipment of the block chain provides own system resources in the whole process of processing the data recovery transaction, the management platform can calculate the first quantity of the system resources consumed or provided by the node equipment in the process of processing the data recovery transaction and determine the virtual resources with the second quantity of the system resources with the first quantity of the value anchoring.

In particular, the system resources of the node device consumed by processing the data recovery transaction described above may include a combination of one or more of the following:

processing computational resources of the node device consumed by the data recovery transaction, which may include a number of instructions in a CPU instruction set consumed by the node device to perform the data recovery transaction based on the identification information of the target data. For example, the blockchain system may price the computing resources provided by the node devices: m (virtual resource units)/instruction, the node device may first calculate the number N of instructions in the CPU instruction set consumed to perform the data recovery transaction, and then calculate the number of virtual resources corresponding to the N instructions, anchored to the value of the computational resources of the node device consumed to process the data recovery transaction: m N (virtual resource units).

Processing network resources of the node device consumed by the data recovery transaction, where the network resources may include network traffic of a blockchain consumed in transmitting the data recovery transaction in broadcasting, consensus, or the like, and the network resources are positively correlated with the number of nodes of the blockchain. For example, the blockchain system may price network resources provided by the node devices: m (virtual resource units)/megaflow, the node device may first calculate a total network flow N megameters consumed to perform the data recovery transaction, and then calculate a number of virtual resources corresponding to the N megaflows, anchored to a network resource value of the node device consumed to process the data recovery transaction: m N (virtual resource units).

And processing the data to recover the storage resources of the node equipment consumed by the transaction, wherein the storage resources can comprise the storage resources of the node equipment occupied by the target data in the target intelligent contract account.

The blockchain system may price the storage resources provided by the node device for the target intelligent contract account: m (virtual resource units)/Gb, when the capacity of the target data is NGb, the node device may calculate the amount of virtual resources anchored to the value of the storage resources of the node device consumed for processing the data recovery transaction, including: m N (virtual resource units).

In order to customize the specific duration of time that a node device may provide storage resources for target data based on the needs of a user, in yet another illustrated embodiment, the data recovery transaction further comprises: the effective duration of the target data stored in the target intelligent contract account is requested by the user; the effective duration of the storage resources carried by the node equipment is also subjected to value anchoring with the virtual resources issued on the block chain; accordingly, the calculating the number of virtual resources anchored to the storage resource value provided by the node device includes: and calculating the amount of the storage resources consuming the target intelligent contract account and the virtual resources anchored by the effective duration value with the target data.

For example, the blockchain system may price the storage resources and storage validity periods provided by the node devices to store the target intelligent contract account: m (virtual resource unit)/Gb/day, the user has requested a valid duration of one year for the target data in the data recovery transaction, and when the capacity of the target data is NGb, the node device may calculate the amount of virtual resources anchored to the storage resource value of the node device consumed for processing the smart contract creation transaction, including: m × N × 365 (virtual resource unit).

It is noted that the data recovery transaction may include a field corresponding to a validity duration of the user request to store the target data in the target intelligent contract account being null, so as to perform the calculation of the second amount of the virtual resource by the node device based on the validity duration of the blockchain system default.

The pricing of system resources provided by node devices by the blockchain system described above may be related to the number of nodes of the blockchain system, and it is expected that the more node devices of the blockchain, the more the total amount of system resources actually consumed to perform the data deletion transaction, and thus, the blockchain system may adjust the pricing per unit of system resources charged to the user based on the number of node devices.

In this embodiment, the form of the system resource is not specifically limited, and besides the computing resource, the network resource, or the storage resource, a block chain system developer may anchor the value of the system resource in the form and the virtual resource issued on the block chain based on other forms of system resources of block chain link point devices consumed in the process of recovering target data stored in the smart contract, so as to transfer a corresponding amount of virtual resources from the user account based on the form of system resource consumption.

In an illustrated embodiment, a calculation model may be deployed in the management platform or in a bottom layer protocol of the blockchain, so as to calculate the amount of virtual resources anchored to the system resource value of the node device consumed for processing the data recovery transaction, and after the management platform obtains the data recovery transaction triggered by the blockchain client, the management platform may calculate, based on invoking the calculation model, a second amount of virtual resources corresponding to the system resources consumed for processing the data recovery transaction.

Or, an intelligent contract (hereinafter referred to as a resource computation contract) for computing virtual resource consumption for the data recovery transaction may be further deployed on the blockchain, where the execution logic corresponding to the contract code of the resource computation contract includes resource computation logic for computing the amount of virtual resources anchored to the system resources of the node device consumed for processing the data recovery transaction;

accordingly, the above-described method for computing a first amount of system resources of the node device consumed by processing the data recovery transaction and determining a second amount of the virtual resources anchored to the first amount of system resource values comprises:

invoking the resource calculation contract, executing the billing logic, calculating a first amount of system resources of a node device consumed to execute the data recovery transaction, and determining a second amount of the virtual resources anchored to the first amount of system resource value.

It should be noted that, when the management platform invokes the resource computation intelligent contract, a Local Transaction (Local Transaction or Local call) may be constructed in response to the obtained intelligent contract creation Transaction, and the resource computation intelligent contract deployed on the blockchain is invoked locally at the node device to determine the second quantity of the virtual resource anchored by the system resource value of the node device consumed for executing the intelligent contract creation Transaction. At this time, the management platform may obtain the call execution result of the resource computation contract locally without recognizing the call execution result of the resource computation contract on the blockchain.

Step 406, obtaining a message that the virtual resource account of the user is deducted from the second amount of virtual resources.

The virtual resource account of the user is an account storing the same type of resources as the virtual resources; when the virtual resource is an out-of-chain real resource, the virtual resource account may include a currency account (such as a bank account), or a virtual point account established by the user on the management platform, and virtual points in the virtual point account may be exchanged by the user using currency; when the virtual resource is a virtual resource issued on a blockchain, the virtual resource account may include a user's blockchain account.

When the virtual resource account of the user is a money account, the entity that deducts the second amount of virtual resources from the virtual resource account of the user may be a financial institution such as a bank, and may transfer the deducted second amount of virtual resources to a money account corresponding to a management platform; when the virtual resource account of the user is a virtual point account established on the management platform, the virtual points in the virtual point account are exchanged by the user using money, and at this time, the entity for deducting the second amount of virtual resources from the virtual resource account of the user may be the management platform; when the virtual resource account of the user is a blockchain account, the entity that performs deduction of the second amount of virtual resources from the virtual resource account of the user may be a node device of a blockchain, and may transfer the deducted second amount of virtual resources to a blockchain account corresponding to a management platform.

The present embodiment does not limit the execution body, the deduction time and the specific manner of deducting the second amount of virtual resources from the virtual resource account of the user.

In one or more embodiments, after the virtual resource account of the user is successfully deducted by the second amount of virtual resources, the account of the management platform may correspondingly receive the second amount of virtual resources. The management platform may hold a virtual resource account of a user or an institution entity corresponding to the node device allocated to the blockchain in a preset period (including real-time or periodically), so as to complete allocation of virtual resources to the user or institution entity providing system resources in the blockchain system.

The present embodiment does not limit the specific manner in which the virtual resources are allocated. For example, the management platform may allocate the received currency cash or the currency cash corresponding to the deducted virtual credits to a currency cash account of a user or institution entity corresponding to the node device of the blockchain, or the management platform may allocate virtual resources issued on the chain received in the blockchain account to a blockchain account of a user or institution entity corresponding to the node device of the blockchain, and then, in response to a redemption request of the user or institution, redeem the virtual resources allocated in the blockchain account thereof to entity assets outside the chain, and perform logout processing on the redeemed virtual resources on the chain.

The specification does not specifically limit the rule that the management platform allocates the second amount of virtual resources to the blockchain account corresponding to each node device in the blockchain. For example, the management platform may equally allocate the deducted second amount of virtual resources to virtual resource accounts of users or organization entities corresponding to each node device of the block chain to hold the virtual resource accounts respectively.

Or, based on the storage medium performance attribute of the account storage resource allocated to the intelligent contract by each node device of the block chain, the management platform allocates the second number of virtual resources to the virtual resource accounts of the user or the organization entity corresponding to each node device of the block chain to hold the virtual resource accounts respectively. For example, because the storage medium configurations of the node devices are different, the management platform may rank the storage medium of each node device based on the storage medium performance attribute (e.g., hard disk performance attribute such as hdd, ssd, or nvm) of each node device obtained by monitoring each node device, so as to allocate a higher proportion of virtual resources to the node device providing the high-level storage medium and allocate a lower proportion of virtual resources to the node device providing the low-level storage medium.

The management platform carries out unified receiving of the virtual resources on behalf of the node equipment of the block chain, and therefore payment operation of users on the second quantity of virtual resources is facilitated; moreover, the management platform can allocate the virtual resources received by the blockchain node users in real time or regularly based on preset allocation rules, so that each node user providing system resources for the blockchain can obtain corresponding benefits. Therefore, compared with the existing mode that the miner node only charges the transaction commission fee, each node device in the block chain is encouraged to contribute corresponding system resources in a more fair virtual resource allocation mode.

Step 408, sending the data recovery transaction to the blockchain, so that the node device of the blockchain executes the data recovery transaction, and recovering the target data to the target intelligent contract account maintained by the user based on the identification information of the target data.

And the management platform sends the data recovery transaction to the blockchain, so that the data recovery transaction can be broadcasted in the blockchain network, subjected to consensus verification, executed by the node equipment of the blockchain after the consensus verification is passed, and the target data is recovered to a target intelligent contract account maintained by the user.

After the data recovery transaction is executed in the virtual machine, the node device of the block chain can update the account state of the target intelligent contract in the block chain state database, recover the target data to the target intelligent contract account maintained by the user, and record a transaction receipt (receive) containing the data recovery transaction execution result in the MPT receipt tree of the block chain.

During the existence period of the target intelligent contract, the user can obtain the set storage resource capacity which can be allocated by the node device for the target intelligent contract by paying the virtual resource to the management platform according to the management requirement of the target intelligent contract. In order to facilitate the management of the account storage resources with the set capacity allocated by the node device for the target intelligent contract by the user, the management platform may maintain the remaining (unused) storage capacity in the account storage resources allocated by the node device for the target intelligent contract.

After the node device of the block chain executes the data recovery transaction, the management platform may further monitor an occupation state of the account storage capacity of the obtained target intelligent contract, and further update the remaining storage capacity of the account storage resource allocated to the target intelligent contract by the node device maintained by the management platform: for example, a value of remaining storage capacity of the account storage resource maintained by the management platform is reduced based on the target data being restored.

The target data described in the embodiments of the present specification is originally stored in the account storage space of the target intelligent contract, and may be later deleted from the target intelligent contract by a user who maintains the target intelligent contract by issuing a data deletion transaction or by issuing a data deletion instruction by a blockchain system, for the purpose of optimizing the account storage space of the target intelligent contract. Because the data in the account storage space of the intelligent contract may be basic data for intelligent contract invoking and execution, after the target data is deleted, the subsequent intelligent contract invoking transaction may not be executed correctly; therefore, after the target data is deleted, the user may request the blockchain system to restore the previously deleted target data in order to solve the problem that the intelligent contract invoking transaction cannot be executed correctly, or the user may request the blockchain system to restore the previously deleted target data according to the user's own needs.

In an illustrated embodiment, the aforementioned deleting the target data from the account storage space of the target intelligent contract may include permanently deleting the target data from the account storage space of the target intelligent contract. At this time, the restoring, performed by the node device, the target data to the account storage space of the target intelligent contract maintained by the user based on the identification information of the target data includes:

re-executing the transaction associated with the target intelligent contract that is included in the blockchain until the target data determined based on the identification information of the target data is restored to the account storage space of the target intelligent contract.

Since re-executing the transaction associated with the target intelligent contract may consume a large amount of system resources, and the client may need a long waiting time to receive the notification message that the target data is recovered, in order to obtain the target data more quickly, the node device may further provide the client with a plurality of state snapshots (check points) about the target intelligent contract, so that the user selects a state snapshot as a starting point for starting re-executing the transaction associated with the target intelligent contract.

In yet another illustrative embodiment, the deleting the target data from the account storage space of the target intelligent contract may include removing the target data from the account storage space of the target intelligent contract and storing the target data in a backup database maintained by the blockchain, for example, a "cold data" database in the blockchain.

The cold data in the blockchain comprises non-real-time data which is set by a blockchain system and cannot be directly called by an intelligent contract, such as transactions in a historical block, historical state data corresponding to the historical block and the like; to save storage costs, the cold data may be stored in less performance configured storage hardware. In contrast, the hot data in the blockchain may include data (also referred to as real-time data) required by the intelligent contract invocation, such as data included in the intelligent contract account, data in the latest blocks required by the intelligent contract invocation, index data of the blockchain, and the like, and the hot data of the blockchain is usually stored by the node device in storage hardware with superior performance, such as an SSD hard disk, so that the node device can efficiently and quickly perform the intelligent contract invocation transaction.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the account storage space may store "hot data" that needs to be used for the intelligent contract invocation, and the target data of the hot data may be moved by the node device to the database collecting "cold data" of the blockchain for the purpose of saving the storage space of the target intelligent contract. In the subsequent block chaining blocking process, the node device executes a data recovery transaction sent by the user, and can query the target data in the cold database based on the identification information of the target data and migrate and recover the target data to the account storage space of the target intelligent contract.

Compared with the implementation mode of permanently deleting the target data and re-executing the target data through the block transaction, the deletion and recovery mode of the target data saves the process of re-identifying, verifying and executing a plurality of transactions by the node device, has less system resource consumption and belongs to a better implementation mode.

Based on the method for recovering blockchain data described in steps 402 to 406, transactions of data recovery types may be configured in the blockchain system (for example, a system developer expands transaction types executable on a blockchain in an underlying protocol, and expands transactions of development data deletion types and data recovery types in addition to a transfer transaction, an intelligent contract creation transaction and an intelligent contract call transaction), initiated by a user who maintains and manages a target intelligent contract, and recovers deleted target data in an account storage space of the target intelligent contract to the account storage space of the target intelligent contract; the data storage resources allocated by the block chain node device for the intelligent contract account are usually high-quality storage resources, such as SSD hot storage resources, so as to quickly and efficiently perform the call execution of the intelligent contract, and therefore, the block chain data recovery method according to the embodiment can further improve the processing performance of the intelligent contract call transaction in the block chain and improve the probability of correct execution of the intelligent contract call transaction.

Based on the method for recovering block chain data in one or more embodiments, the management platform performs value anchoring on the system resources hosted by the node devices of the block chain and the virtual resources published on the block chain, so that a first amount of system resources of the node devices consumed by the node devices for processing data recovery transactions can be anchored, a second amount of virtual resources can be anchored, and the second amount of virtual resources can be collected from users on behalf of the node devices of the block chain. Due to the fact that the user randomly restores target data contained in the intelligent contract in the non-charging mode and waste of the account storage space of the intelligent contract is easily caused, waste of the account storage space of the intelligent contract in the block chain is reduced on the basis of the precondition that a second number of virtual resources need to be transferred in data restoration operation.

The management platform represents the node equipment of the block chain to uniformly receive the virtual resources, so that the transfer operation of a user on the second quantity of virtual resources is facilitated; moreover, the management platform can allocate the virtual resources received by the blockchain node users in real time or regularly based on preset allocation rules, so that each node user providing system resources for the blockchain can obtain corresponding benefits. Therefore, compared with the existing mode that the miner node only charges the transaction commission fee, each node device in the block chain is encouraged to contribute corresponding system resources in a more fair virtual resource allocation mode.

It should be noted that the execution sequence of

steps

404, 406 and 408 is not limited in the above embodiment.

In an illustrated embodiment, after acquiring a data recovery transaction triggered by a blockchain client, a management platform calculates a first quantity of system resources of a node device of a blockchain consumed for processing the data recovery transaction, and determines a second quantity of virtual resources anchored with a system resource value of the first quantity; after the information that the second amount of virtual resources is deducted from the virtual resource account of the user is obtained, the data recovery transaction is sent to the block chain, so that the node equipment of the block chain executes the data recovery transaction, and the target data is recovered to a target intelligent contract account maintained by the user based on the identification information of the target data.

The process of calculating the first amount of system resources of the node device of the block chain consumed for processing the data recovery transaction and determining the second amount of virtual resources to be transferred by the user may be pre-estimated based on the data recovery transaction; and notifying the client of the second amount of virtual resources to be transferred for completing the data recovery transaction after determining the second amount of virtual resources.

After calculating the first amount of system resources of the node device of the blockchain consumed for processing the data recovery transaction and determining the second amount of virtual resources anchored to the value of the first amount of system resources, the management platform may issue an indication of payment of the second amount of virtual resources to the user client, for example, push a cash money payment page on a user interface of the client, so that in response to payment verification information (such as a digital password and biometric identification information) input by the user at the client, a financial institution corresponding to the cash money account of the user performs deduction of the second amount of virtual resources from the cash money account of the user. For another example, a virtual point payment page circulating on the management platform is pushed on a user interface of the client, where the virtual point is obtained by the user exchanging money and cash on the management platform and is stored in a virtual point account opened on the management platform by the user, so that the second amount of virtual resources is deducted from the virtual point account of the user on the management platform by the management platform in response to payment verification information (such as a digital password and biometric identification information) input by the user on the client.

When the virtual resource is a virtual resource issued on a blockchain, the management platform may construct a page for the transfer transaction on the blockchain, which is pushed on a user interface of the client, so that the blockchain client may further send the transfer transaction to the blockchain through the management platform, so that after the transfer transaction is verified by the blockchain, the node device of the blockchain deducts the virtual resource of the second quantity from the blockchain account of the user, or deducts the virtual resource of the second quantity from the blockchain account of the user and transfers the virtual resource of the second quantity to the blockchain account corresponding to the management platform. The management platform may then learn from the node device whether the transfer transaction was successfully executed.

If the deduction process fails due to the fact that the number of the virtual resources held by the virtual resource account of the user is smaller than the second number, or the management platform does not acquire a message that the virtual resource account of the user of the client is deducted from the second number of the virtual resources within a preset time limit, the management platform may return a prompt that the execution of the data recovery transaction fails to the blockchain client.

It should be noted that, because the system resources consumed by the node device to execute the data deletion transaction include various forms such as computing resources, network resources, storage resources, and the like, some resource forms may be calculated based on the code of the intelligent contract before the data deletion transaction is executed, and some resource forms may be accurately known only after the data deletion transaction is executed. Thus, in this embodiment, the deducted second amount of virtual resources is derived based on the system resource forecast that may need to be consumed to execute the data recovery transaction in step 406; the block chain may also set a subsequent system resource consumption verification link to check whether the actually consumed system resources after the target data is recovered obviously do not conform to the estimated system resources, so as to perform corresponding virtual resource supplementation or withdrawal operations, which is not limited in this specification.

In another illustrated embodiment, after acquiring a data recovery transaction triggered by a blockchain client, a management platform first sends the data recovery transaction to a blockchain, so that a node device of the blockchain executes the data recovery transaction, and recovers the target data to a target intelligent contract account maintained by the user based on identification information of the target data; and then calculating a first quantity of system resources of the node equipment of the block chain consumed for processing the data recovery transaction, and determining a second quantity of the virtual resources anchored with the value of the system resources of the first quantity, so that the virtual resource account of the user is deducted from the second quantity of the virtual resources, thereby further obtaining a message that the virtual resource account of the user is deducted from the second quantity of the virtual resources.

The calculating of the first amount of the system resources of the node device of the block chain consumed for processing the data recovery transaction and the determining of the second amount of the virtual resources to be transferred by the user may be performed based on statistical calculation of the system resources actually consumed for processing the data recovery transaction by the node device of the block chain, which is monitored by the management platform.

When the virtual resource is an entity asset outside a block chain, or a point or token issued by the management platform and anchored to the entity asset, the node device may temporarily store, in a memory, an account status of the target intelligent contract after the target data is restored and a transaction receipt (receipt) generated based on an execution result of the data restoration transaction, and notify the management platform; the management platform may issue an instruction to the client to pay the second amount of the virtual resource, for example, push a cash money payment page on a user interface of the client, issue a circulating virtual credit payment page by the management platform, in response to payment verification information (e.g., a digital password, biometric identification information) input by the user at the client, complete the deduction of the second amount of the virtual resource from a cash money account of the user by a financial institution corresponding to the cash money account of the user, or from a virtual credit account of the user at the management platform by the management platform. When the virtual resource is currency cash, the second amount of virtual resource can be transferred to a currency cash account corresponding to the management platform.

If the management platform acquires the message that the second amount of virtual resources are successfully deducted from the cash money account of the user or the virtual resources held by the virtual point account of the management platform, the node equipment can be instructed to update the account state of the target intelligent contract in the block chain, and a transaction receipt (receipt) generated after the data recovery transaction is executed is stored in an MPT receipt tree of the block chain. After the transaction receipt is obtained, the management platform may return a prompt indicating that the data recovery transaction is completed to the blockchain client, or return an execution result of the data recovery transaction contained in the transaction receipt.

If the cash account of the user, or the amount of the virtual resources held by the user in the virtual point account of the management platform is smaller than the second amount, or the management platform does not receive a message of successfully deducting the second amount of the virtual resources within a preset payment period, the management platform may instruct the node device to delete the account status of the target smart contract and a transaction receipt (receive) corresponding to the data recovery transaction from the memory; at this time, the management platform may return a prompt that the execution of the data recovery transaction fails to the blockchain client.

When the virtual resource is a virtual resource issued on a blockchain, the data recovery transaction may further include an account identifier of a blockchain account of the user. The account identifier is an account identifier of a user account that pays the second amount of virtual resources for the data deletion transaction; the account id may include an account id of the data deletion transaction issuer, and may also include account ids of other users specified by the data deletion transaction issuer.

In this embodiment, after temporarily storing, in the memory, the account status of the target smart contract after the data recovery transaction is executed and a transaction receipt (receive) corresponding to the data recovery transaction, the node device may deduct the second amount of virtual resources from the blockchain account corresponding to the account identifier included in the data recovery transaction, and add the second amount of virtual resources to the blockchain account corresponding to the management platform.

If the second amount of virtual resources are successfully deducted from the virtual resources held by the blockchain account corresponding to the account identifier, the node device may update the account status of the target intelligent contract in the blockchain, and store a transaction receipt (receive) generated after the data recovery transaction is executed in an MPT receipt tree of the blockchain; at this time, after obtaining the transaction receipt of the data recovery transaction stored in the blockchain, the management platform may return a prompt of completion of execution of the data recovery transaction to the blockchain client;

if the amount of the virtual resources held by the blockchain account corresponding to the account identifier is smaller than the second amount, the node device cannot deduct the second amount of the virtual resources from the blockchain account corresponding to the account identifier, and at this time, the node device can delete the account state of the target intelligent contract stored in the memory and a transaction receipt (receipt) corresponding to the data deletion transaction and notify the management platform; at this time, the management platform may return a prompt that the execution of the data recovery transaction fails to the blockchain client.

Or, when the amount of the virtual resources held by the virtual resource account is less than the second amount and the second amount of the virtual resources cannot be deducted in a sufficient amount, the management platform may instruct the node device to temporarily store the transaction receipt and the account status, send a balance supplement reminder to the blockchain client, after the blockchain client completes balance supplement on the user account, perform deduction of the second amount of the virtual resources, update the account status of the target intelligent contract in the blockchain after successful deduction, and store the transaction receipt (receipt) in an MPT receipt tree of the blockchain, so that the management platform returns a prompt of completing data recovery transaction execution to the blockchain client.

In another embodiment, when the virtual resource is a virtual resource published on a blockchain, and the node device performs an operation of deducting a second amount of the virtual resource from a blockchain account of the user, and after the data recovery transaction is sent to the blockchain by the management platform, the broadcasting, consensus verification, and execution processes in the blockchain may specifically include:

after receiving the data recovery transaction, the node device may broadcast and transmit the data recovery transaction in a blockchain network;

after receiving the data recovery transaction, the consensus node in the block chain can perform consensus verification on the data recovery transaction;

if consensus verification for the data recovery transaction passes, a blockchain node device may deduct a second amount of virtual resources from a user account corresponding to a user identification based on the second amount of virtual resources anchored to a value of system resources of the blockchain node device consumed to process the data recovery transaction; and executing the data recovery transaction after the deduction is successful, and recovering the target data corresponding to the identification information to a target intelligent contract account managed by the user.

In this embodiment, in order to reduce the system resource waste of the node device due to the failure of invoking the smart contract caused by the insufficient balance of the virtual resource in the user account to pay for the second amount of the virtual resource to be transferred for processing the data recovery transaction, the consensus verification process performed by the consensus node of the block chain may include: verifying whether the number of virtual resources held by the user account included in the data recovery transaction is not less than a preset threshold.

The preset threshold may be a fixed virtual resource threshold set by the blockchain developer for the transaction of the intelligent contract invocation type, for example, the preset threshold may be set based on the minimum system resource consumption for executing the transaction of the intelligent contract invocation type or the number of virtual resources anchored by the average system resource consumption; under the condition, in order to enable the intelligent contract to be successfully invoked and executed, the user account needs to have the virtual resource quantity meeting the preset threshold, so that when the virtual resource quantity in the user account is less than the preset threshold, a prompt that the consensus verification fails is directly returned, and further system resources are prevented from being consumed by the node equipment due to the fact that the data recovery transaction is processed after the consensus verification stage.

In some embodiments, although the data recovery transaction passes the consensus verification that the balance of the user account is not less than the preset threshold, the transaction may be executed unsuccessfully due to the fact that the newly added storage resource required for the data recovery transaction is too large or the logic for invoking the execution of the intelligent contract is too complex, and the second amount of the virtual resource determined by calculation is larger than the balance of the user account.

Optionally, the consensus verification may further include the process of calculating the first amount of the system resource of the node device consumed by processing the data recovery transaction and determining the second amount of the virtual resource anchored to the first amount of the system resource value, as described in step 404, for example, when the underlying protocol of the blockchain deploys a calculation model for calculating the amount of the virtual resource anchored to the system resource value of the node device consumed by processing the data recovery transaction, the consensus node may obtain the second amount of the system resource anchored virtual resource consumed by the node device for processing the intelligent contract and calculated and determined by the underlying protocol of the blockchain when obtaining the data recovery transaction, in which case, the preset threshold may be the second amount of the virtual resource determined by the calculation process, so that the consensus node of the blockchain is in the consensus verification, the consensus verification of whether sufficient payment is available is performed directly based on the second amount of virtual resources to be delivered for processing the data recovery transaction, thereby providing more accurate consensus verification and improving the execution success rate of the data recovery transaction passing the consensus verification.

In one or more of the embodiments shown above, the management platform performs a second number of virtual resource charges on behalf of the node device of the blockchain based on the system resources provided by the node device of the blockchain; the management platform may further set a corresponding virtual resource allocation rule, and allocate the received virtual resource to the node user of the blockchain based on a preset period (including real-time or periodically), so that the node user of the blockchain may obtain the corresponding virtual resource based on the system resource provided by the node user for processing the data recovery transaction. The present specification does not specifically limit the allocation manner of the virtual resources, and for example, the virtual resources may be allocated to the blockchain accounts of the node devices by a linked bank account or by a management platform through a system administrator-level instruction.
