User management of blockchain-based custom clearance service platform

A computer-implemented method for managing a blockchain-based customer clearance service platform comprising:

• receiving, using an API by the service platform managing interactions between one or more users and a consortium blockchain, a first request from a first user to record or update information related to a first order, wherein the information is provided, or to be provided, to a service authority for requesting clearance for merchandize included in the first order;
• determining whether the first user is one of authorized members who are authorized to record or update the information related to the first order, by invoking a smart contract executing on the consortium blockchain based on information stored in a mutable data structure on a blockchain node, the mutable data structure maintained by the smart contract on a blockchain node that stores information about the authorized members, wherein the mutable data structure is a cache storage linked with an immutable data structure based on index data;
• and
• upon confirming that the first user is an authorized member, recording or updating the information related to the first order according to the first request and sending a confirmation to an administrator that the updated information related to the first order has been added to the mutable data structure on the blockchain node.

A system for managing a blockchain-based customer clearance service platform, comprising:

• one or more computers;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that are executable by the one or more computers and that upon execution cause the one or more computers to perform operations as a service platform, the operations comprising:
• receiving, using an API by the service platform managing interactions between one or more users and a consortium blockchain, a first request to authorize a first member to access information related to a first order, wherein the information is provided to a service authority for requesting clearance for the first order, and the first request is sent from an administrator;
• invoking a smart contract executing on the consortium blockchain to request that the first member be added to a list of authorized members who are authorized to access the information related to the first order, in which the smart contract is configured to maintain a mutable data structure on a blockchain node that stores information about the authorized members, wherein the consortium blockchain stores the information related to the first order or a processed version of the information related to the first order and the mutable data structure is a cache storage linked with an immutable data structure based on index data;
• receiving a confirmation from the smart contract that the first member has been added to the list of authorized members in the mutable data structure on the blockchain node;
• and
• sending a confirmation to the administrator that the first member has been added to the list of authorized members in the mutable data structure on the blockchain node.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that are executable by the one or more computers and that upon execution cause the one or more computers to manage operations for a blockchain-based customer clearance service platform, the operations comprising:

• receiving, using an API by the service platform managing interactions between one or more users and a consortium blockchain, a first request to authorize a first member to access information related to a first order, wherein the information is provided to a service authority for requesting clearance for the first order, and the first request is sent from an administrator;
• invoking a smart contract executing on the consortium blockchain to request that the first member be added to a list of authorized members who are authorized to access the information related to the first order, in which the smart contract is configured to maintain a mutable data structure that stores information about the authorized members, wherein the consortium blockchain stores the information related to the first order or a processed version of the information related to the first order and the mutable data structure is a cache storage linked with an immutable data structure based on an index data;
• receiving a confirmation from the smart contract that the first member has been added to the list of authorized members;
• and
• sending a confirmation to the administrator that the first member has been added to the list of authorized members.
