Abstract

A blockchain maintenance method adds a target blockchain node group of a first tenant to a channel. In the method, a management node sends new channel configuration information of the channel to an execution node of a second tenant. The execution node of the second tenant generates incremental configuration information of the channel based on the new channel configuration information and old channel configuration information of the channel, and sends the incremental configuration information to a consensus organization. Each blockchain node group that has joined the channel obtains, from the consensus organization, a block including the incremental configuration information, and adds the block to a stored blockchain, to reach a consensus that the target blockchain node group joins the channel. The target blockchain node group is configured based on the incremental configuration information to join the channel.
