Patent number: 10560267Abstract: The present solution discloses example methods and systems for verifying block data. One example method includes identifying newly added data to be stored in a blockchain, and selecting a data node in a block to store the newly added data. A string is generated based on the newly added data, and then a verification value for the newly added data is developed from the string using a predetermined algorithm. A new verification value for the block is calculated based on the verification value of the newly added data and the original verification values of the unchanged data nodes in the block. The new verification value for the block can then be used to verify the data stored in the block is consistent with data stored in the rest of the blockchain.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: Alibaba Group Holding LimitedInventor: Honglin Qiu

Publication number: 20200034919Abstract: A rental request initiated by a target user for a target service in a blockchain network is received. In response to the rental request, a credit risk assessment on the target user is performed. A determination is performed as to whether the target user passes the credit risk assessment. In response to determining that the target user passes the credit risk assessment, an electronic rental contract that corresponds to the target service is generated. The electronic rental contract is delivered to the target user and a service provider of the target service, in which the target user and the service provider perform an electronic signature on the electronic rental contract. The electronic rental contract with electronic signatures is stored in a distributed blockchain database of the blockchain network, in which the electronic rental contract is used to assess credit information of the target user.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2019Publication date: January 30, 2020Applicant: Alibaba Group Holding LimitedInventors: Honglin Qiu, Hui Zhang
