Original Abstract Submitted

This disclosure relates to a data processing method and apparatus, which may be applied to the field of blockchains to address low stability of a data processing process in a blockchain system. The method includes: obtaining status information of each of the slave nodes, the status information comprising a communication connection status of the corresponding slave node and a status of a blockchain recorded by the slave node in the blockchain system; in response to the status information of a first slave node among the slave nodes meeting a freeze condition, generating and broadcasting a node freeze proposal; and in response to the master node reaching a consensus on the node freeze proposal with the slave nodes based on a consensus algorithm, performing data interaction with the slave nodes other than the first slave node before the recorded blockchains reach the frozen block height.
