Blockchain Transaction Origination via Proxy Nodes for Network Anonymity

The patent divides the single proxy node into a group of multiple proxy nodes. Each proxy node independently receives transactions from the originator node and introduces them to the blockchain network separately. This segmentation obscures the originator's identity by distributing transaction origins across multiple network addresses, making it difficult for adversaries to correlate transactions with a single originator IP address.

The patent introduces a set of proxy nodes as intermediaries between the originator node and the blockchain network. These proxy nodes act as mediators that receive transactions from the originator, modify them by adjusting mining fees and adding random inputs, and then broadcast them to the network. This intermediary layer masks the originator's network identity while still enabling transaction introduction to the blockchain.

The patent implements preliminary actions by having proxy nodes pre-establish their identities and capabilities with the blockchain network before receiving transactions from the originator node. The proxy nodes are already configured with their own mining fee structures and transaction formats, so when transactions arrive, they can immediately process and broadcast them without requiring extensive real-time coordination communication.

The patent introduces dynamic adjustments where each proxy node independently determines its own mining fee based on current network conditions and transaction characteristics. This dynamic approach allows each proxy to optimize its fee selection locally without requiring synchronous coordination with other proxies or the originator, reducing communication overhead while maintaining effective transaction inclusion.

The patent segments the mining fee selection process by allowing each proxy node to independently determine its own fee rate based on local network conditions and transaction priorities. This segmentation eliminates the need for complex centralized coordination while still achieving efficient resource allocation, as each proxy optimizes fees for its specific transaction batch without interfering with other proxies' operations.

The patent implements self-service by enabling each proxy node to autonomously select mining fees and manage its own transaction processing based on its received transactions and current network state. The proxy nodes self-regulate their fee structures without requiring instructions from the originator or coordination with other proxies, achieving efficient resource allocation through distributed decision-making.
