Title in different languages: Hierarchical Smart Contracts to Prevent User Profiling in Decentralized Energy Distribution Systems
Abstract: This work introduces a privacy-preserving energy trading system using hierarchical smart contracts in decentralized energy networks. Blockchain ensures secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions, while smart contracts automate trade execution and verification. The hierarchical structure conceals user identities and consumption patterns, preventing profiling and data breaches. Additionally, built-in mechanisms detect and penalize dishonest behavior, ensuring market fairness. By integrating privacy safeguards with blockchain’s reliability, the proposed system provides a secure, efficient, and equitable framework for decentralized energy trading, addressing key vulnerabilities in traditional grid systems and reinforcing trust among participants through automated, privacy-aware energy exchanges.
