The invention provides a lightweight terminal block
chain system. The
system comprises a plurality of nodes, wherein the nodes comprise a core node and lightweight nodes; the core node is used for participating in block chain
consensus, keeping accounts and generating a new block, and the block comprises a block head and a block main body; the lightweight node stores the block head and participates in node discovery, transaction broadcast and transaction validity
verification. By adoption of the lightweight terminal block
chain system, when a lightweight terminal device accesses the network, the lightweight terminal device participates in the transaction
verification, transaction broadcast, block check and other functions of the block
chain system, so that the
transaction data in the block
chain network back up more transaction information that cannot be tampered on more devices, thereby fully utilizing the idle resources of a part of terminal devices, and enhancing the reliability and the non-tampering property of the block chain
system. Meanwhile, the
system fully considers the limited storage, calculation and network resources of the terminal devices, so that the terminal devices join in the block chain system by the lightweight nodes, that is, maintain the normal operation of the block chain system by very small resource costs.
