It is becoming harder to manage the growing amounts of waste generated daily at an increasing rate. These problems require efficient solution that guarantees effectiveness and transparency maintains trust within community. To improve process traditional management, we proposed a unique solution, “GREENLINK”, which uses combination blockchain technology with concept zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), Walrasian equilibrium. Zero-knowledge (cryptographic protocols) are used verify organizations prove compliance (e.g., certification, recycling capacity) without disclosing sensitive information. Through iterative bidding process, framework employs equilibrium, technique balance supply demand, guaranteeing equitable pricing effective resource distribution among participants. The transactions management activities securely recorded on immutable ledger, ensuring accountability, traceability, transparency. performance model evaluated. Parameters like average latency, TPS, memory consumption calculated using Hyperledger Caliper (a benchmark framework).

This research presents a novel framework and experimental results that combine zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) with private blockchain technology to safeguard whistleblower privacy while ensuring secure digital evidence submission verification. For example, whistleblowers involved in corporate fraud cases can submit sensitive financial records anonymously maintaining the credibility of evidence. The proposed introduces several key innovations, including implementation utilising proof-of-work (PoW) consensus ensure immutable storage thorough scrutiny submitted evidence, mining difficulty dynamically aligned sensitivity data. It also features an adaptive mechanism automatically adjusts computational requirements based on providing tailored protection levels. In addition, unique two-phase validation process is incorporated, which generates signature from alongside random challenges, significantly improving security authenticity. integration ZKPs enables iterative hash-based verification between parties (Prover Verifier) complete source investigates whistleblower’s niche traditional management systems (DEMSs), prioritising without compromising integrity. Experimental demonstrate framework’s effectiveness preserving anonymity assuring authenticity making it useful for judicial organisations handling disclosures. paper signifies notable progress whistleblowing systems, offering way juggle transparency informant confidentiality.
