Abstract

Provided by embodiments of the present application is a blockchain multi-party shared-governance-based system for maintaining domain name information, wherein a Root blockchain is formed by first network nodes where respective top-level domain registries are located, and domain name operation information needs to be confirmed by authoritative nodes among the first network nodes after a consensus process. Since the authoritative node is generated by means of voting by each first network node, each network node in the Root blockchain in the system participates in the consensus process for the domain name operation information. Through such a decentralized method for maintaining domain name information, the final state will not be affected by a mistake or an attack on one network node, resulting in higher security and better stability of the entire system compared to the centralized maintenance method. Furthermore, all the domain name operation information is stored in each first network node in the Root blockchain to prevent malicious tampering, and a reliable data source is provided for update of domain name.
