Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for using a client that is unsynchronized with a blockchain network to validate blockchain transactions for IoT devices, web apps, mobile apps, and other applications. The client retrieves a register of nodes (acting as information provider or validator) that are synchronized with the blockchain network, selects a node from the register, and transmits an information request to the selected node. The client receives a response to the request, the response including the requested information and validation indicia (e.g., proofs), and determines whether the response is valid based on the validation indicia. The client transmits, in response to determining that the response is valid, a confirmation to the IoT device, web app, mobile app or other applications.
