【Abstract】Current blockchain-based energy trading models raise serious concerns regarding the high and capped transaction latency and expensive service charges. To solve these problems, In this article, we combine Lightning Network (LN) and smart contract to present a mobile energy trading scheme based on LN. The focal point of the scheme lies in transfer of value occurs off-blockchain, which addresses the problem of transaction latency. Next, to solve the security of proposed scheme, we design a mechanism to delivery secret R. Participants exchange some parameters to calculate R instead of delivery it directly. The found security is guaranteed by committing funds into a multi-signature address in proposed scheme. Then, we conduct a comprehensive experiment to evaluate the proposed scheme. The simulation and analysis results show that the proposed scheme is efficient than traditional trading. In addition, we analyze our entire scheme and conclude that it defenses anti-tampering attacks and replay attack capacity effectively.
