Consensus processing method and apparatus for blockchain network

A consensus processing method for a blockchain network, the blockchain network comprising a plurality of nodes, and at least some of the plurality of nodes being configured to perform consensus processing on a message transmitted by a client based on a consensus algorithm;

• and the method comprising:
• determining a block generation speed of the blockchain network in at least one historical detection cycle;
• determining a target speed range where the block generation speed is located from a plurality of speed ranges, endpoint speeds of the plurality of speed ranges being linked with each other in sequence;
• and
• controlling the block generation speed of the blockchain network in a current detection cycle based on a speed control manner corresponding to the target speed range, a different speed range corresponding to a different speed control manner.

A consensus processing apparatus for a blockchain network, the blockchain network comprising a plurality of nodes, at least some of the plurality of nodes being configured to perform consensus processing on a message transmitted by a client based on a consensus algorithm, and the consensus processing apparatus comprising:

• a memory operable to store computer-readable instructions;
• and
• a processor circuitry operable to read the computer-readable instructions, the processor circuitry when executing the computer-readable instructions is configured to:
• obtain a type of the consensus algorithm currently running in the blockchain network, the type of the consensus algorithm comprising a first type and a second type, consensus performance of a consensus algorithm of the first type being greater than consensus performance of a consensus algorithm of the second type, and fault tolerance performance of the consensus algorithm of the second type being greater than fault tolerance performance of the consensus algorithm of the first type;
• perform consensus environment detection on the blockchain network to obtain a detection result in response to the blockchain network satisfying a consensus environment detection condition, the detection result indicating whether an error occurs during consensus processing of the message by the at least some nodes based on the consensus algorithm;
• switch the consensus algorithm currently running in the blockchain network to a consensus algorithm of another type in response to the detection result satisfying a consensus algorithm switching condition corresponding to the type of the consensus algorithm.
