Handing requests in a consensus network

Abstract:

The present disclosure describes techniques for using a consensus network for handling requests. In one implementation, a first block chain node sends, to a consensus network, a business request generated according to business information sent by a user. A second block chain node in the consensus network verifies the legality of a business result obtained by a third block chain node according to the business request. The first block chain node executes a first designated operation by triggering a first smart contract in the business request. The first block chain node utilizes the smart contract executed automatically. The first block chain node automatically accomplishes the first designated operation by using the first smart contract once the business result passes the verification carried out by the second block chain node. The second block chain node verifies the business result obtained by the third block chain node.
