Abstract
In response to the difficulty of balancing privacy protection and system efficiency in energy data trading, this article analyzes the limitations of existing methods: static pseudonym mechanisms can easily lead to long-term identity link risks, traditional zk-SNARKs schemes have high computational overhead, and Raft consensus mechanisms lack robustness in adversarial environments. To address the above challenges, an integrated privacy protection scheme based on dynamic pseudonyms and lightweight zk-SNARKs is proposed. This scheme breaks the temporal correlation of transactions through a dynamic pseudonym generation mechanism, uses blockchain level batch processing proofs to reduce the computational and storage overhead of zero knowledge proofs, and introduces an LSTM based node health assessment model and incremental log synchronization mechanism to enhance the error tolerance and synchronization efficiency of the Raft consensus algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms traditional methods in terms of privacy, transaction processing performance, and system availability, effectively achieving a balance between privacy protection and operational efficiency, and providing a feasible technical path for energy data trading.
