Trustless stateless incentivized remote node network using minimal verification clients

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method comprising acts of:

• receiving at least one cryptographic proof;
• receiving at least one validation indicium with a signature of a trusted entity;
• and
• verifying the at least one cryptographic proof, at least in part by:
• feeding data through the at least one cryptographic proof, thereby obtaining a processed result of the at least one cryptographic proof;
• determining whether the processed result of the at least one cryptographic proof matches the at least one validation indicium;
• and
• using the signature of the trusted entity to validate the at least one validation indicium.
