A parking charging method, performed by a parking charging system, wherein the method comprises: obtaining, by an acquisition unit of a parking charging apparatus applied to the parking charging system, vehicle information of a parked vehicle in a parking space, wherein the vehicle information has a corresponding user account on a payment platform; publishing, by a publishing unit of the parking charging apparatus, a vehicle parking record to a blockchain network by using a first blockchain node corresponding to the parking charging system in the blockchain network, so that the vehicle parking record is recorded in a blockchain ledger, wherein the vehicle parking record comprises parking duration of the parked vehicle in the parking space; and performing, by an implementation unit of the parking charging apparatus, an asset transfer operation related to the payment platform based on the vehicle parking record each time the parking duration reaches a first predetermined duration, so as to charge an asset corresponding to the first predetermined duration by sending an asset transfer request to the payment platform, wherein the asset transfer request includes a transaction serial number of the vehicle parking record in the blockchain network and a payment amount, wherein the payment platform searches the blockchain ledger based on the transaction serial number to determine authenticity and validity of the vehicle parking record, and to perform verification on the vehicle parking record, wherein the payment platform verifies whether the payment amount matches the parking duration in the vehicle parking record based on a predefined charging criterion, so as to complete the asset transfer only when the payment amount matches the parking duration. obtaining, by an acquisition unit of a parking charging apparatus applied to the parking charging system, vehicle information of a parked vehicle in a parking space, wherein the vehicle information has a corresponding user account on a payment platform; publishing, by a publishing unit of the parking charging apparatus, a vehicle parking record to a blockchain network by using a first blockchain node corresponding to the parking charging system in the blockchain network, so that the vehicle parking record is recorded in a blockchain ledger, wherein the vehicle parking record comprises parking duration of the parked vehicle in the parking space; and performing, by an implementation unit of the parking charging apparatus, an asset transfer operation related to the payment platform based on the vehicle parking record each time the parking duration reaches a first predetermined duration, so as to charge an asset corresponding to the first predetermined duration by sending an asset transfer request to the payment platform, wherein the asset transfer request includes a transaction serial number of the vehicle parking record in the blockchain network and a payment amount, wherein the payment platform searches the blockchain ledger based on the transaction serial number to determine authenticity and validity of the vehicle parking record, and to perform verification on the vehicle parking record, wherein the payment platform verifies whether the payment amount matches the parking duration in the vehicle parking record based on a predefined charging criterion, so as to complete the asset transfer only when the payment amount matches the parking duration.
