Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Computing power networking (CPN) represents a transformative paradigm in distributed computing, harnessing the collective capabilities of edge servers dispersed across diverse geographical locations. CPN's core strengths lie in its ability to accelerate data processing, diminish latency, and scale efficiently, rendering it particularly apt for real-time applications and the Internet of Things. When coupled with blockchain technology, CPN extends its potential by facilitating secure and transparent allocation and trading of computing resources, bolstering data integrity and reliability. However, current research at the intersection of CPN and blockchain primarily focuses on framework development and technology integration, often overlooking the challenge of delivering dependable computing services, especially in the presence of potentially unreliable nodes. To tackle this issue, we introduce a reputation-enhanced resource trading framework, designed to ensure equitable and trustworthy computing power transactions. We establish a decentralized reputation model, capable of accurately assessing node behavior over extended periods. Additionally, we present three optimization mechanisms for reputation updates, accounting for transaction history, quality of service, and transaction amount. Furthermore, our work introduces a reputation-enhanced consensus mechanism within the trading system, strategically employing incentives to motivate participants to deliver high-quality services, thereby increasing their rewards. Simultaneously, it effectively mitigates wealth inequality among resource providers of varying sizes. To validate our approach, we develop a prototype system and conduct performance evaluations, which affirm the superiority of our system in enhancing reputation and delivering robust economic features.
