The resource layer 105 encapsulates various available computing and storage resources, such as those in computers, servers/clusters, and clouds, abstracts and provides a uniform interface to the data layer 104 to mask the variability of the underlying hardware implementing the resource layer 105.

The computing resources include various forms of processors such as a Central Processing Unit (CPU), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), and a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA).

The storage resources include various types of storage media such as various volatile memories and nonvolatile memories. The nonvolatile Memory may be a Read Only Memory (ROM) or a Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM). Volatile Memory can be Random Access Memory (RAM), which acts as external cache Memory.

The computing resources and storage resources of the resource layer 105 may be mapped to various types of nodes in a blockchain network, and the storage medium implementing an embodiment of the present invention stores executable instructions for implementing the blockchain network deployment method of an embodiment of the present invention, and once the executable instructions deployed to the nodes are executed, the underlying resources (e.g., various types of processors) implementing the nodes will implement the deployment of various types of nodes in the blockchain network and perform the functions of the various types of nodes, thereby implementing ledgers for transactions in business processes and various applications based on the ledgers.

Network layer 103 encapsulates point-to-point (P2P) network protocols, data propagation and verification mechanisms, access and authentication mechanisms, and service agent identities. The P2P network protocol realizes communication among nodes in the blockchain network, a data propagation mechanism ensures the propagation of transaction/transaction results in the blockchain network, and a data verification mechanism is used for realizing the reliability of data transmission among the nodes based on an encryption method (such as a digital certificate, a digital signature and a public/private key pair); the access and authentication mechanism is used for managing the access and authentication of the terminal based on the identity of the service subject.

The consensus layer 102 encapsulates mechanisms for achieving consistency of transaction results propagated in the block chain, including POS, POW, DPOS, etc., and supports pluggable consensus mechanisms.

The application layer 101 encapsulates various services that the blockchain network can implement, including transaction settlement, tracing, and evidence storage.

An exemplary organization architecture of a blockchain network implementing an embodiment of the present invention is described below, referring to fig. 2, and fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an organization architecture of a blockchain network provided in an embodiment of the present invention, which includes at least two consensus nodes 110 and an ledger database node 140, and as an example, only a consensus node 110-1, a consensus node 110-2, and an ledger database node 140-1 are shown in fig. 2; the consensus node 110-1 and the consensus node 110-2 are deployed correspondingly for roles realized in the service by two different service entities participating in the service; gateway node 130-1 and gateway node 130-2 are deployed for different business entities and are connected to a consensus node deployed for the respective business entity. The consensus node 110 updates the ledger in response to transactions submitted through the terminal 300 and displays various intermediate or final results in the user interface 310 of the terminal 300.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is an optional structural schematic diagram of the consensus node 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the consensus node 110 may be one or more servers, and according to the structure of the consensus node 110, other exemplary structures of the consensus node 110 may be foreseen, and therefore, the structure described herein should not be considered as a limitation, for example, some components described below may be omitted, or components not described below may be added to adapt to special requirements of some application scenarios.

The consensus node 110 shown in fig. 3 comprises: at least one processor 1101, memory 1104, at least one network interface 1102. The various components in the consensus node 110 are coupled together by a bus system 1103. It is understood that the bus system 1103 is used to enable communications among the components connected. The bus system 1103 includes a power bus, a control bus, and a status signal bus, in addition to the data bus. For clarity of illustration, however, the various buses are designated as the bus system 1103 in fig. 3.

The memory 1104 may be either volatile memory or nonvolatile memory, and may include both volatile and nonvolatile memory. The memory 1104 described in connection with the embodiments of the invention is intended to comprise these and any other suitable types of memory.

The Processor 1101 may be an integrated circuit chip having Signal processing capabilities, such as a general purpose Processor, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic device, discrete hardware components, or the like, wherein the general purpose Processor may be a microprocessor or any conventional Processor or the like.

The application programs may include programs that implement various functions of the consensus node 110.

In conjunction with the above, a blockchain network implementing embodiments of the present invention is implemented by providing a series of memories and processors, in which executable instructions are stored, and when the executable instructions are executed by the processors, a consensus node adapted to the role of the business entity is deployed among the machines running the processors and memories, although other types of nodes may also be deployed.

As an example of the implementation of the block chain deployment method provided by the embodiment of the present invention by using a combination of software and hardware, the block chain deployment method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be directly embodied as the above-mentioned different forms of software modules executed by the processor 1101, the software modules may be located in a storage medium, the storage medium is located in the memory 1104, the processor 1101 reads executable instructions included in the software modules in the memory 1104, and the functions of the consensus node 110 are completed in combination with necessary hardware (for example, including the processor 1101 and other components connected to the bus system 1103).

An exemplary application of a block chain network implementing the embodiment of the present invention supporting a plurality of service agents to participate in a service is described below, where roles implemented by the service agents participating in the service in the participating service depend on service requirements of the service agents.

In an exemplary service, the roles of the service body may include at least a transaction party, and may further include a collaboration party, a supervision party, an authentication party, and a docket party, which are described separately below.

The transaction parties are the primary roles in the business, and one or more businesses that the transaction parties develop with each other have business appeal of recording logs of transactions in maintaining a common ledger, e.g., recording changes in status of digital assets, commodity inventory between transaction parties in the ledger.

The cooperative party cooperates with the transaction party in the business to complete a business main body of the transaction process, provides necessary business support for the transaction party, or is a business entity used for completing part of business links realized by the transaction party in the business.

The monitoring party is a business subject having a monitoring appeal on the transaction result of the transaction party, and does not participate in the specific transaction process of the transaction party, for example, a related functional department having a monitoring authority/responsibility on the transaction.

The account book may include authentication information (e.g., product quality authentication, origin authentication, etc.) issued by the authenticator for the object, so as to prove the legal quality of the transacting party, the quality of the transacting object, and the like in the subsequent transaction/use process.

The record-keeping party is a business entity having a backup appeal on the account book of the business and does not participate in the specific transaction process of the transaction party, for example, an intelligent department having a monitoring right on the account book, a third party organization providing verification service on the account book, and the like.

An exemplary deployment structure of role nodes according to a service principal in a blockchain network implementing an embodiment of the present invention is described below, in which a gateway node, a contract engine node, and a backup node may be deployed in addition to a consensus node deployed according to a role of a participant in the blockchain network (for example, a consensus node deployed for a part of roles, or a consensus node deployed for all roles, whether a consensus node is deployed for a service principal, and the number of consensus nodes deployed, determined according to a role implemented by a service principal in a service), an ledger database node.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a deployment structure of the blockchain network 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and a consensus node 110 and an ledger database node 140 are deployed in the blockchain network 100. Illustrated in fig. 4 are consensus node 110-1 through consensus node 110-5, and ledger database node 140-1. Ledger database node 140-1 is connected with consensus node 110-4.

It should be noted that the number of the consensus nodes 110 deployed in the blockchain network 100 is not limited to that shown in fig. 4, for example, more consensus nodes may be deployed, or corresponding consensus nodes may be deployed in the blockchain network only for business bodies with two roles of business as transaction parties; it will be appreciated that there are at least two parties to a service and therefore the number of consensus nodes deployed in the blockchain network is at least two.

In some embodiments, the consensus node 110 in the blockchain network 100 is implemented by abstracting computing resources and storage resources of the resource layer 105 as shown in fig. 1 for a computing device (e.g., a computer, a server/cluster, a cloud), and deploying ledgers of the data layer 104, protocols/mechanisms of the network layer 103, consensus mechanisms of the consensus layer 102, and applications of the application layer 101 on this basis.

It is to be appreciated that other types of nodes in the blockchain network 100, described below, can be implemented by abstracting resources and deploying accordingly.

In some embodiments, whether a common node is deployed in the blockchain network corresponding to the service agent, and the number of the deployed common nodes are adapted to the role that the service agent implements in the service, which is described below with reference to the example of deploying nodes by using different role service agents in fig. 1.

Example 1) referring to fig. 4, when roles of the service agent 200-1 and the service agent 200-2 in the service are transaction parties, at least one common node, i.e., the common node 110-1 and the common node 110-2, is deployed in the blockchain network 100 corresponding to the service agent 200-1, to provide access to a terminal from the service agent 200-1, including terminals outside the service agent and connected to the service agent 200-1 (including the terminal 300-1 to the terminal 300-3, where the terminal 300-1 is a mobile phone, the terminal 300-2 is a desktop device, and the terminal 300-3 is an internet-of-things device), and terminals inside the service agent (not shown in the figure, for example, terminals accessing the service agent through an internal private network); at least one common-identity node, i.e., the common-identity node 110-3, is deployed in the blockchain network 100 corresponding to the service agent 200-2 to provide access to the terminal from the service agent 200-2, including the terminal inside the service agent 200-2 (including the terminal 300-4 and the terminal 300-5, both desktop devices) and the terminal outside the service agent 200-2 and connected to the service agent 200-2 (not shown in the figure).

The consensus node 110-4 is connected with the account book database node 140-1, when the consensus node 110-4 updates the account book maintained by the consensus node, the account book database node 140-1 synchronously acquires the account book from the consensus node 110-4, deconstructs the account book into key value pairs and stores the key value pairs; and responding to the down-link inquiry request of the terminal aiming at the account book according to the stored key value pair.

There are usually at least two consensus nodes participating in a service, and therefore there are at least two consensus nodes deployed in a blockchain network. The number of the consensus nodes deployed aiming at the service bodies with different roles can be determined according to the service load of the corresponding service body, so that the processing efficiency of the transaction is ensured; of course, the number of the consensus nodes deployed for the service subject may also be a set value.

Taking the business body with the role as the trading party as an example, the business load can be determined from at least one of the following aspects: total amount of terminals accessing the service body; a peak value of the number of terminals accessing the service body in a window time (such as one hour); the total amount of transactions submitted by terminals accessing the business entity within the window time, and so on.

Example 3) referring to fig. 4, when the service agent 200-4 has a role as a policer in the service, at least one consensus node, i.e., the consensus node 110-4, is deployed in the blockchain network 100 corresponding to the service agent 200-4, and the consensus node 110-4 provides access to the terminal 300-7 from the policer.

Example 4) referring to fig. 4, when the service agent 200-5 has a role as an authenticator in the service, at least one consensus node, i.e., the consensus node 110-5, is deployed in the blockchain network 100 corresponding to the service agent 200-5.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a deployment structure of a blockchain network provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and based on the blockchain network 100 shown in fig. 4, a backup node 120 connected to a common node 110 may also be deployed in the blockchain network 100, where the backup node 120 is correspondingly deployed for a service agent 200-6 whose role is a docket. The ledger database node 140-1 is connected to the joint identification node 110-4, and the ledger database node 140-1 can synchronize the ledger from the joint identification node 110-4 to the local of the ledger database node 140 due to the connection with the joint identification node 110-4.

An exemplary deployment structure in which a backup node is also deployed in a blockchain network that implements an embodiment of the present invention is described. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a deployment structure of a blockchain network provided in an embodiment of the present invention, and based on the blockchain network 100 shown in fig. 4, a backup node 120 connected to a common node 110 may also be deployed in the blockchain network 100, where the backup node 120 is correspondingly deployed for a service agent 200-6 whose role is a docket. The business agent 200-6 serves as a docket, a backup node 120 is deployed in the blockchain network 100 corresponding to the business agent 200-6, fig. 6 also exemplarily shows the ledger database node 140-2, and the ledger database node 140-2 is connected to the backup node 120. The ledger database node 140-2 synchronously acquires ledgers from the backup node 120, deconstructs the ledgers into key-value pairs and stores the key-value pairs; and responding to the down-link inquiry request of the terminal aiming at the account book according to the stored key value pair.

An exemplary deployment structure in which a backup node is also deployed in a blockchain network that implements an embodiment of the present invention is described. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of a deployment structure of a blockchain network provided in an embodiment of the present invention, based on the blockchain network 100 shown in fig. 4, a backup node 120 connected to a consensus node 110 may also be deployed in the blockchain network 100, and fig. 7 exemplarily shows an ledger database node 140-1 and a ledger database node 140-2, where the ledger database node 140 connected to the consensus node 110-4 and the ledger database node 140-2 connected to the backup node 120 are included, so that the ledger database node 140 deployed in any manner can be used to synchronize a ledger to the local of the ledger database node 140 regardless of the connection manner.

An exemplary deployment structure in which a blockchain network implementing an embodiment of the present invention is also deployed with a contract engine node is continued to be described. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a deployment structure of a blockchain network provided by an embodiment of the present invention, based on the blockchain network 100 shown in fig. 4, a contract engine node 150 may also be deployed in the blockchain network 100, and the common recognition node 110-3 deployed in correspondence to a business entity 200-2 whose role is a transaction party is connected, so that when the common recognition node 110-3 needs to execute a transaction, an intelligent contract called in the transaction is executed instead of the common recognition node 110-3, and an executed transaction result is returned to the common recognition node 110-3.

By deploying contract engine nodes in a blockchain network and transferring the load of executing the intelligent contract from the consensus nodes, the limitation of the IT capability of the consensus nodes for executing the intelligent contract can be relieved, and the method is particularly suitable for business bodies with limited IT capability and the consensus nodes with high load of executing the contract due to access of too many terminals, such as the consensus nodes deployed for transaction parties.

An exemplary deployment structure in which a gateway node is also deployed in a blockchain network implementing an embodiment of the present invention is described. In some embodiments, one or more gateway nodes may be deployed for each service agent for providing access to terminals from the attributed service agent, and the gateway nodes may be divided into public gateway nodes and private gateway nodes, where the public gateway nodes may provide access not only to terminals inside the service agent but also to terminals outside the service agent; the private gateway node limits the accessed terminal to be inside the service body (such as in an enterprise local area network); by dividing the public/private types of the gateway nodes, the gateway nodes of corresponding types can be deployed to adapt to different business main body network environments and the difference requirements of the butted terminals, and the IT capability of the business main body is saved.

In some embodiments, the data of the gateway node deployed for each service body may be determined according to its load, for example, the total amount of terminals of the service body to which the gateway node belongs (i.e., terminals at the back end of the service body); a peak value of the number of terminals accessing the service body in a window time (such as one hour); the total amount of transactions submitted by the terminal from the business entity within the window time, and so on.

Function 5) write Account State

The consensus node 110-1 is configured to update the ledger status in the ledger maintained by the consensus node 110-1 with the transaction result when the transaction result obtained by performing the transaction in the new block obtains consensus between the consensus node 110-1 and the consensus node 110-5, that is, the updated key-value pair of the transaction is added to the ledger status, for example, the transaction result is to modify the digital assets of the target account, and then the digital assets of the corresponding account recorded in the form of the key-value pair are added to the ledger status, and the database attribute of the ledger status can support fast query of the ledger.

Function 6) write Presence Attestation data

Function 8) Inquiry Account book status

The consensus node 110-1 is configured to respond to an account book status query request from the terminal 300 (e.g., the terminal 300-1 and the terminal 300-2) of the business entity 200-1 to which the consensus node belongs, query a real-time account book status or a historical account book status according to a key carried in the account book status query request, form an account book status query result according to the queried value, and return the result to the terminal 300.

Function 9) query for presence attestation data

Taking fig. 11 as an example, the merkel tree path of block3 may uniquely indicate that there is a specific transaction during the generation of block3, and the consensus node 110-1 calculates the hash value of the data to be verified, calculates the root hash of the merkel tree path according to the merkel tree path, and determines that the data to be verified exists in block3 if the calculated root hash is consistent with the root hash in the ledger snapshot.

Function 10) validating ledgers

The function of the backup node implementing the embodiment of the present invention is described below by taking the backup node 120 shown in fig. 10 as an example. In some embodiments, backup node 120 is configured to selectively perform the following six functions, which are described separately.

Function 1) broadcast transaction

The backup node 120 is configured to continue broadcasting the transaction in the blockchain network 100 when receiving the transaction broadcasted by a certain common node 110-1 in the blockchain network 100, so as to achieve fast diffusion of the transaction in the blockchain network 100.

Function 2) synchronous account book

The backup node 120 is configured to synchronize the maintained ledger with the ledger maintained by the connected consensus node 110-1 to maintain the latest ledger in the blockchain network 100.

Function 3) Inquiry Account book State

The backup node 120 is configured to query, by using a query request of a terminal (for example, a terminal authorized by the service entity 200-6 to which the backup node 120 belongs, or a terminal from any service entity), a real-time ledger state or a historical ledger state according to the ledger state maintained by the backup node 120 by using a key carried in the query request, and form a ledger state query result according to the queried value and return the result to the terminal.

Function 4) query presence attestation

The backup node 120 is configured to respond to a presence query request from a terminal (e.g., a terminal authorized by the business entity 200-6 or a terminal from any business entity), query the data to be verified in the real-time presence certificate and the historical presence certificate according to the maintained presence certificate of the ledger data, form a presence query result indicating whether the data to be verified is stored in the ledger, and return the result to the terminal.

Function 5) verification Account book

The backup node 120 is configured to respond to the ledger authentication request to a terminal (for example, a terminal authorized by the business entity 200-6 or a terminal from any business entity) according to the maintained ledger, query the data to be authenticated in the presence certificate of the ledger data, and query the state of the ledger according to a key carried by the ledger authentication request, form an authentication result, and return the authentication result to the terminal 300.

Function 6) binding of service agent identities

The backup node 120 is configured to bind the identity information of the belonging business entity (i.e., the business entity 200-1 having a role as a transaction party) to indicate that the identity information is deployed in the blockchain network 100 corresponding to the belonging business entity 200-1, so as to serve the corresponding business entity 200-1 to perform the functions of the backup node 120, such as ledger synchronization, i.e., the backup node 120 connects the common nodes (i.e., the common node 110-1 and the common node 110-2) belonging to the bound business entity 200-1 in the blockchain network 100, and performs the synchronization of the ledger.

The following takes gateway node 130-1 in fig. 10 as an example to illustrate the functionality of a gateway node implementing an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the gateway node performs the following three functions, which are described separately.

Function 1) broadcast transaction

The gateway node 130-1 is configured to broadcast the transaction to a nearby consensus node, such as the consensus node 110-1, when receiving the transaction sent by the terminal 300 (including the terminal 300-1 and the terminal 300-2) from the affiliated service entity 200-1, so that the transaction is spread rapidly in the blockchain network 100.

Function 2) binding of service agent identities

The gateway node 130-1 is configured to bind the identity of the attributed service entity, i.e., the service entity 200-1 having the role of a transaction party, to indicate that it is deployed in the blockchain network 100 corresponding to the attributed service entity 200-1.

Function 3) managing terminal access and authentication

The gateway node 130-1 is used for user identity based management and authentication. Since the gateway node 130-1 belongs to a common gateway node, it is possible to simultaneously manage and authenticate the user identity to the inside of the service 200-1 and the terminal accessing the service agent 200-1. For example, the user requesting login is authenticated according to the bound user identity information, so as to limit the business behaviors of the user who does not pass the authentication, such as the behaviors of initiating a transaction and inquiring the transaction.

Next, functions of the ledger database node of the embodiment of the present invention will be explained. Referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of ledger solution applied to ledger database nodes, where the ledger database nodes perform multi-dimensional deconstruction (including ledger, blocks, transactions, accounts, presence certificates, and metadata) on ledger data (blocks formed by arranging in order according to a time axis) stored in a file system manner to form a set of key value pairs, and examples of the data recorded by the key value pairs include: data digest & timestamp in block header; the path of the mercker tree recorded in the mercker tree (proof of presence of transaction data); data content of the transaction; the Set of key-value pairs may be in a storage cluster using an unstructured database, such as a master-slave (M master-slave), a copy Set (Replica Set), a slicing (Sharding), and the like. Therefore, the quick query can be realized, certainly not limited to an unstructured storage mode, for example, each deconstructed key-value pair can be stored as a separate file (the file is named by a key), and the quick query of the key-value pair can also be realized.

Continuing to describe the manner of deconstructing the ledger data into key-value pairs and forming the existence certification of the key-value pairs, referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of deconstructing the ledger data into key-value-pair data and calculating the existence certification, the ledger data of each block is deconstructed into a combination of a plurality of key-value pairs, any two key-value pairs are used as leaf nodes to calculate hash values as new leaf nodes, and the hash values are iteratively calculated until the hash values of the leaf nodes are calculated to form a tacle tree path corresponding to the block, one example is as follows: block3-hash/hash1/hash2/hash 3. The Merckel tree path of the block can serve as a key value obtained from the block structure to prove the existence of data, the block and the corresponding Merckel tree path form a snapshot of the block, and even unstructured data can finally form an unstructured form through deconstruction from multiple dimensions, so that the technical effect that compatible structured/unstructured data can be directly linked is achieved.

In some embodiments, the ledger database node implements the above-described functions by deploying the ledger database component, referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a schematic deployment diagram of the ledger database component 600 provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and the ledger database component 600 adopts the manner shown in fig. 11 to deconstruct and store ledger data.

A different deployment of ledger database component 600 is shown in fig. 13, for example, as a blockchain independent function node (e.g., ledger database node 140 in blockchain network 100 shown in fig. 10). Ledger database component can also be deployed at any node of the blockchain network, for example, ledger database component 600 is deployed in consensus node 110 as shown in fig. 10, or can be deployed as a storage cluster independent of the blockchain network.

The Ledger Data protocol (Legger Data Contract) component 610 is used for realizing a standard storage management mode consistent with external access, and defining and managing a Data structure to organize Ledger Data, operate aiming at the Ledger Data, and deconstruct and store the Ledger Data; a set of key-value pairs formed from ledger data is deconstructed from a plurality of dimensions.

The ledger storage component 620 is configured to store the deconstructed key-value pair data into an unstructured database/single file, so as to provide a service for providing offline access to the ledger (i.e., a service that can query the ledger without passing through the consensus node 110) to the terminal 300, where the query service is independent of the completion of the internal transaction processing logic of the blockchain network 100, and provides a query service in a manner of providing key-value pairs, and the dimensionality of the queried data includes: ledger (a chain of blocks), transactions, accounts, metadata, blocks, and Merkle trees.

Because the storage structure has good expansibility, even under the conditions of unlimited size of a single block, unlimited account number and unlimited block growth, the query request is responded by deconstructing the formed key value pair data, and the query can be more quickly compared with the account book data in a query file form.

Ledger database component 600 may also be used to support the writing of key-value pair data, e.g., to support terminals 300 to write key-value pair data in a chained manner when implemented as a storage cluster deployed independently of a blockchain network; for another example, when implemented as an ledger database node or a consensus node, the write request is encapsulated as a transaction submitted into a blockchain, completing the write on the chain.

The manner in which the blockchain network implementing embodiments of the present invention executes intelligent contracts continues to be described.

In some embodiments, the functionality of executing intelligent contracts that implements embodiments of the present invention is implemented by running an intelligent contract component; for example, the intelligent contract engine component may be deployed in the consensus node 110 of fig. 4-10 to implement functionality for executing intelligent contracts.

In another embodiment, a type of independent contract engine node for operating an intelligent contract engine component may be deployed in the blockchain network implementing the embodiment of the present invention, so as to replace a consensus node in the blockchain network to execute an intelligent contract invoked in a transaction, and return a transaction result obtained by executing the intelligent contract to the consensus node. The function of the contract engine node of the embodiment of the present invention will be explained next.

The intelligent contract engine component for realizing the embodiment of the invention has a compiling/simulation running function of the intelligent contract (by using a simulated ledger) and an executing function of the intelligent contract (an executing result is applied to a real ledger of a block chain network), and can automatically set the working state and the offline state of the sub-modules according to the deployed environment (for example, automatically detecting the deployed environment or receiving the setting of a developer about the deployed environment), so that the compiling/simulation testing function of the intelligent contract and the executing function of the intelligent contract are automatically switched. For example, execution functionality of the intelligent contract is implemented when deployed in a blockchain network, while compilation/simulation run functionality of the intelligent contract is implemented when deployed in a development environment.

Of course, the intelligent contract engine component may also automatically adjust the online state (i.e., the state in which the connection with the outside is activated) and the offline state (i.e., the state in which the connection with the outside is bypassed) of the sub-modules according to the preset, and the following description is given in conjunction with an example in which the intelligent contract engine component sets the working/offline states of different modules in different deployment environments to automatically switch the compiling/simulation test function of the intelligent contract and the execution function of the intelligent contract.

With reference to fig. 6 and 10 and fig. 14, fig. 14 is a schematic deployment diagram of deploying an intelligent contract engine component 700 in a blockchain network according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the intelligent contract engine component 700 is deployed as an independent contract engine node 150 in the blockchain network shown in fig. 6 and 10.

The functions that intelligent contract module 710 uses to implement include: the compiling (implemented by the compiler 711)/simulation test function (cooperatively implemented by the compiler 711 and the executor 712) of the intelligent contract, and the execution function (implemented by the executor 712) of the intelligent contract; the functions that ledger access adapter 720 is used to implement include: the simulated ledger in the form of a local data source is provided for testing intelligent contracts depending on the deployment environment, or the real ledger in the blockchain network 100 is provided by way of a remote agent for execution of intelligent contracts by enforcer 712.

According to the environment deployed in the blockchain network, the executor 712 in the intelligent contract module 710 is in an online state, the ledger remote agent module 722 in the ledger access adapter 720 is used for being in an online state according to the deployment environment in the blockchain network, and the compiler 711 in the intelligent contract module 710 is in an offline state.

In the context of the deployment of the intelligent contract engine component 700 in the blockchain network 100, one exemplary transaction processing procedure is as follows.

The transaction processing module 1102 in the consensus node 110 is configured to encapsulate the transaction submitted by the terminal 300 to form a new block, and by calling the contract engine component 700 in the contract engine node 150, the executor 712 in the contract engine component 700 is configured to execute the intelligent contract called in the transaction instead of the consensus node to read/write the ledger, the ledger remote agent module 722 is configured to implement a communication agent function between the executor 712 and the ledger, read ledger data that needs to be read/written for the intelligent contract from the ledger, the executor 712 executes the intelligent contract on the received ledger data to obtain a transaction result, and then the executor 712 returns the transaction result to the consensus node 110.

When the consensus module 1101 in the consensus node 110 agrees with other consensus nodes in the blockchain network 100 on the transaction result, the executor 712 will be triggered to read/write the ledger, and the executor 712 will read/write the ledger through the ledger remote agent module 722, for the account writing, including storing the transaction result into the ledger state and storing a new block containing the transaction into the ledger data.

Referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a schematic deployment diagram of deploying an intelligent contract engine component 700 in a development environment according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the intelligent contract engine component 700 is deployed in an embedded manner in the development environment of a developer, and is adapted to a development component (taking a Maven compiled plug-in as an example in fig. 15) and a test component (taking a Junit test component as an example in fig. 15) in the development environment.

According to the deployment of intelligent contract engine component 700 in the Development environment, compiler 711, executor 712, Integrated Development Environment (IDE) simulator 721 in intelligent contract module 710 are in an online state to support the developer's compilation (implemented by compiler 711)/simulation test function (implemented by compiler 711 and executor 712) using intelligent contracts, while ledger remote agent module 722 in intelligent contract module 710 is in an offline state.

In the case where the intelligent contract engine component 700 is deployed in a development environment, an exemplary transaction processing process, as shown in FIG. 15, is as follows.

At the stage of compiling the intelligent contract (project), a compiling plug-in the development environment calls the compiler 711 to compile the intelligent contract; in the stage of testing the intelligent contract, a testing component in the development environment calls an executor 712 to execute the intelligent contract, an IDE simulator 721 simulates the complete ledger of the blockchain network based on a local data source, and provides ledger data in the form of the local data source to the executor 712, so that the executor 712 executes read/write operations in the intelligent contract on the simulated ledger data to form a transaction result; the intermediate result and the final result of the intelligent contract are executed to locate the error code.

Referring to fig. 16, fig. 16 is a schematic diagram of the deployment of the intelligent contract engine component provided by an embodiment of the present invention, throughout the development and on-chain deployment phases of an intelligent contract.

In the project management and development testing phase of the intelligent contract, various dependencies and compiling plug-ins for defining the intelligent contract compiling are carried out in an integrated development environment (such as Eclipse); compiling plug-in compiling and packaging codes of the intelligent contract, wherein the codes comprise a packaging file (CONTRACT. jar) of the intelligent contract and a digital signature (Signature. cert) of a developer aiming at the packaging file, so that the intelligent contract codes are compiled according to intelligent contract source codes; the test case of the intelligent contract completely depends on the ledger of the local data source, does not depend on the ledger data maintained by the nodes in the blockchain network,

in the deployment phase of the smart contract, the smart contract signed with the digital signature is deployed into the consensus node 110 as shown in fig. 10, so that the consensus node 110 can execute the smart contract referred to in the transaction submitted by the terminal 300 and form the transaction result.

The engineering environment of the intelligent contract provided by the intelligent contract engine component: the development language is mature, the tool chain is complete, the tool chain can be reused, the tool chain can be distributed, and the tool chain can be verified and managed; through the adaptation with the test component and the compiling component of the development environment, the development mode of the business system can be continued, the existing continuous integration facility is directly utilized, and the learning cost of intelligent contract development is reduced; a fully localized unit test can be performed.

In an enterprise-level application scenario, the following business entities are involved: the large enterprise, the corresponding business body 200-1 and business body 200-2 with the role of transaction party; partner enterprises, a business agent 200-3-1 and a business agent 200-3-2 with corresponding roles as collaborators; the corresponding role of the supervision mechanism is a service main body 200-4 of a supervision party; the record center is corresponding to a business main body 200-4 with the role of a record side; the authentication center corresponds to the business agent 200-5 with the role of the authenticator.
