The method comprises: receiving, from a first blockchain network instance and by the relay that is communicatively linked with the first blockchain network instance and a second blockchain network instance in the unified blockchain network, an access request for accessing the second blockchain network instance, wherein the access request comprising a blockchain domain name of the second blockchain network instance, wherein the blockchain domain name of the second blockchain network instance is a unique identifier that is recognizable by the two or more relays and uniquely corresponds to a chain identifier of the second blockchain network instance among the plurality of blockchain network instances in the unified blockchain network; identifying, by the relay, the chain identifier of the second blockchain network instance based on the blockchain domain name of the second blockchain network instance, wherein the chain identifier of the second blockchain network instance indicates a blockchain network configuration of the second blockchain network instance; and providing, by the relay, access to the second blockchain network instance for the first blockchain network instance based on the blockchain network configuration indicated by the chain identifier of the second blockchain network instance.
