Highly flexible, scalable multi blockchain, hierarchical data sharing and data storing system and method thereof
The present invention relates to a highly flexible, scalable multi-blockchain, hierarchical data-sharing and data-storing system, at least comprising a third-party blockchain system, a data-sharing blockchain system, and an application-layer client, wherein the data-sharing blockchain system performs data aggregation and hierarchical storage on shared data uploaded by the third-party blockchain system through accessing the data-sharing blockchain system, so as to allow the application-layer client to require the shared data from the data-sharing blockchain system. The disclosure herein creates a single reliable data-sharing blockchain apparatus based on blockchain systems, so as to facilitate aggregation of data coming from different blockchain systems, reduce node complexity and block data redundancy when data are acquired from multiple parties, and define different sharing rules for different data contents, thereby being adaptive to scenarios where data are shared among parties.
1. A data-sharing method based on blockchain smart contracts, wherein the method at least comprises:
having a third-party blockchain system, when accessing a data-sharing blockchain system, preset data sharing rules in the data-sharing blockchain system;
assigning corresponding sharing rules to every entry of shared data during uploading of the shared data; and
having the data-sharing blockchain system perform data storage and/or data access control according to the data sharing rules;
deploying a first contract in the data-sharing blockchain system for processing access requests from third-party blockchain systems;
deploying a second contract in the data-sharing blockchain system for processing shared data submitted by third-party blockchain systems;
deploying a third contract in the data-sharing blockchain system for submitting access requests so as to establish connection between the third-party blockchain systems and the data-sharing blockchain system;
deploying a fourth contract in the third-party blockchain systems for uploading shared data, so that the third-party blockchain system can send the shared data to the data-sharing blockchain system;
deploying a fifth contract to perform hierarchical storage on the shared data according to the sharing and storing hierarchy; and
deploying a sixth contract to retrieve data in response to a client request that requires the shared data, and performs access control according to the data storing and sharing hierarchy.
