Blockchain Master Node Cross-Chain Data Exchange
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing blockchain systems face increased costs and management burdens when exchanging data between different networks, as each network must be updated individually, leading to inefficient data sharing and high maintenance costs.
Innovation Solution
A blockchain system comprising N local area chains and M master nodes, where internal information is shared within local area chains and external information is shared across chains through designated master nodes, allowing for efficient data exchange and reduced maintenance burdens by designating master nodes to facilitate information sharing across networks.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a new blockchain network is constructed for each data exchange requirement, then reliable data exchange between different networks is achieved, but enterprise costs increase and management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the blockchain network into multiple local area chains (N chains) with designated master nodes (M nodes). Each local area chain can independently manage its own data while master nodes facilitate cross-chain data exchange. This segmentation allows reliable inter-network communication without requiring construction of entirely new blockchain networks for each requirement.
Solution Approach 2:
The master nodes in the patent serve multiple functions: they are members of their own local area chains for internal data exchange, and simultaneously serve as bridge nodes for external data exchange with other local area chains. This multi-functionality eliminates the need to construct separate dedicated exchange networks, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reliable data exchange.
2Stability of the object's composition
If each blockchain network is updated individually, then data consistency within each network is maintained, but management and maintenance burdens are aggravated
Solution Approach 1:
The master nodes act as intermediary components between different local area chains. When data updates are needed across networks, the master nodes coordinate the synchronization process, allowing individual chains to maintain their data consistency while enabling centralized coordination for cross-chain updates. This reduces management burden compared to completely independent update processes.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate blockchain networks are established for different industries, then specific industry requirements are met, but data sharing efficiency decreases and maintenance costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments different industry requirements into separate local area chains while maintaining a unified master node coordination layer. This allows each local area chain to be customized for specific industry requirements (adaptability) while still enabling efficient data sharing through the master node network (productivity).
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple separate blockchain networks into a federated structure where N local area chains are combined under M master nodes. This combining approach enables data sharing across what were previously separate networks, improving productivity while maintaining the adaptability to meet specific industry requirements through the local area chain structure.
