Abstract

A method for electing a representative node device performed by a first node device in a blockchain system includes: broadcasting candidate addition transaction data in the blockchain system, the candidate addition transaction data carrying credential data, the credential data being received from a target server and indicating that a first node device meets a qualification requirement for a candidate node device; storing the candidate addition transaction data on a target blockchain of a blockchain system when a plurality of node devices in the blockchain system verify the candidate addition transaction data by consensus; and participating in an election of the representative node device according to the candidate addition transaction data stored on the target blockchain.
