Aiming at the problems of poor scalability, poor interoperability, and waste of storage resources in the consortium chain, a decentralized distributed notary cross-chain model is studied with the help of the original notary cross-chain mechanism. A node group is selected from each local chain as a distributed notary chain-global chain, and the global chain is used as a cross-chain medium to improve the degree of decentralization of the model. The JMeter tool is used to test the delay and throughput of the system, and theoretically from the perspective of system storage space utilization and security, the feasibility of the proposed cross-chain model is verified by using it in a medical and health scenario.
