According to BlockBeats news on December 26, as reported by the Financial界, WeBank applied for a blockchain node consensus-related patent aimed at improving the efficiency of node consensus in blockchain systems. The patent is titled 'Node Consensus Method, Device, Equipment, and Medium in Blockchain Systems,' with publication number CN 119172383 A, and the application date is September 2024.

The patent abstract shows that each node locally saves the corresponding node transaction chain list, and the batch package in the transaction chain list of any node is packaged after meeting the preset requirements based on voting information. In this way, the consensus master node only needs to determine the last batch package that meets the requirements, significantly improving packaging efficiency without needing to reach a consensus on each transaction, thus optimizing the node consensus process.
