With the rapid advancements in mobile communication technology, secure and efficient data transmission has become increasingly important. The space-air-ground integrated network (SAGIN) provides ubiquitous communications and stimulates the development of intelligent networks. Blockchain, as a decentral-ized distributed ledger technology, ensures the security of data transmission and makes it difficult for attackers to tamper with or steal data. This paper investigates the application of blockchain technology in SAGIN for mobile edge computing. Blockchain is utilized to ensure the security of data transmission, while unmanned aerial vehicles and satellites provide computing services for Internet of things (IoT) devices. This paper aims to solve the average system processing efficiency maximization problem that jointly considers data computation volume, latency, and energy consumption. As this problem is non-convex and difficult to solve using traditional methods, we propose a deep reinforcement learning approach to obtain the offloading strategy. Experimental results demonstrate the convergence and effectiveness of our proposed method compared to other benchmark methods.
