Abstract

A method and an apparatus for upgrading a blockchain system, and a terminal. This method includes: determining a first target support version number of the blockchain system after an initial binary program is updated to a target binary program by participant nodes in the system; calculating a first target upgrade version number shared by the participant nodes in the system according to the first target support version number; and upgrading a system version of an initial operation version number currently operated on the system to a system version of the first target upgrade version number when a voting result of the participant nodes on a system upgrade proposal transaction is passed. According to the present application, a problem that the system cannot reach a consensus or the whole system is unavailable in an upgrading process of the system can be solved, and an upgrade efficiency of the system can be improved.
