Abstract
Blockchain-based peer-to-peer energy trading enables individuals to directly share renewable energy using Internet of Things technologies. However, it faces significant challenges related to privacy, scalability, and the integration of advanced artificial intelligence. To address these issues, this article proposes zkPET, a secure and intelligent peer-to-peer energy trading framework. zkPET integrates machine learning and blockchain with advanced cryptographic techniques of zero-knowledge machine learning to protect user data while enabling intelligent decision making. In the zkPET framework, the computationally intensive operations of various machine learning models are executed off-chain, and only succinct cryptographic proofs of these computations are uploaded to the blockchain for verification and recording. In addition, a time-series clustering approach is incorporated into federated learning to enhance both inference accuracy and the efficiency of proof generation. Experimental validation using the zero-knowledge proof tool EZKL and a real-world electricity dataset demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of zkPET. The results underscore its potential to significantly improve privacy, scalability, and computational efficiency in decentralized energy trading, contributing to the advancement of secure and intelligent energy markets.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
