Tencent Applies for Patent on "Data Processing Method and Related Device" to Enhance Blockchain Network Consensus Efficiency
Financial World, October 29, 2024 - According to information from the State Intellectual Property Office, Tencent Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. has applied for a patent named "A Data Processing Method and Related Device", with publication number CN118827687A, filed in April 2023.
This patent focuses on optimizing the consensus mechanism efficiency in blockchain networks. Its core lies in proactively identifying master node failures to avoid unnecessary waiting by child nodes in case of master node failure, thereby accelerating consensus achievement.
The patent abstract reveals that in a blockchain network comprising several blockchain nodes, the master node initiates the i-th round of consensus proposal phase for transactions. At the beginning of the proposal phase, child nodes determine a failure parameter for the master node relative to themselves based on their own conditions. This failure parameter indicates the likelihood of the child node receiving proposals from the master node within a certain time period.
If the failure parameter and predefined conditions indicate a low probability of master node failure, the child nodes will identify the master node as a faulty node. In this case, the child nodes will conduct pre-votes for empty proposals before the waiting duration ends. This allows for a timely switch to a new master node and the commencement of the i+1 round of consensus, even if the i-th round of consensus is hindered by master node failure.
This mechanism of proactively identifying master node failures eliminates the mechanical waiting by child nodes for the entire preset duration when master node failure occurs. It significantly reduces unnecessary waiting time in consensus rounds, thereby greatly improving the consensus efficiency of the blockchain network.
The application of this patented technology holds the potential to effectively address the consensus efficiency bottleneck caused by master node failures in blockchain networks, enhance transaction speed and network stability, and further promote the development of blockchain technology applications.
