CONSENSUS METHOD AND DEVICE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC G06F11/20 G06F21/60 

FIELD: means of performing view switching in a network of blockchain.

SUBSTANCE: blockchain network comprises a main node and a plurality of standby nodes, wherein the main node initiates a consensus on the service request in the blockchain network, wherein the service request is not intended to initiate presentation switching. Triggering the view switching condition in the blockchain network is monitored by the main unit of the blockchain, which triggering indicates one of the following: (a) receiving a service request, initiating a consensus on a service request and determining a consensus result with respect to a service request, or (b) inability to initiate consensus on a service request for a predetermined time. A unit of a successor node is selected from the plurality of standby units by means of the main blockchain unit when the switching condition of the representation is fixed. Together with the successor node, the current node is switched over to the next representation, which uses the successor node as the next main blockchain unit, so that next main blockchain unit initiates consensus in this next representation.

EFFECT: technical result consists in reducing the volume of blockchain network computation and reducing time spent on processing.
