Zusammenfassung:A device described herein may maintain a distributed ledger that is also maintained by at least one other device. The device may receive a record for recordation to the distributed ledger, and may add the record to the distributed ledger without communicating with the at least one other device to validate (e.g., cross-validate) the record. The device may receive a request for information included in the record and, after receiving the request for the information included in the record, communicate with one or more devices, of the at least one other device, to validate the record. The device may determine, based on communicating with the one or more devices, that the record is valid; and may output, in response to the request and based on determining that the record is valid, the requested information included in the record.
