Abstract
A method for electing a representative node device for a blockchain system includes: receiving IP address information of a first node device, the first node device being in a candidate state for a representative node device; receiving, from the first node device, an IP address obtaining request for requesting IP address information of a representative node device; when the first node device is determined to be a representative node device of the blockchain system elected in a current election process, transmitting, to the first node device, an IP address list comprising IP address information of representative node devices elected in the current election process; and when the first node device is determined not to be a representative node device of the blockchain system elected in the current election process, skipping the IP address obtaining request.
