Systems and methods for on-demand validation of distributed ledger records

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing a plurality of processor-executable instructions to:

• maintain, by a device, a distributed ledger that is also maintained by at least one other device;
• receive a record for recordation to the distributed ledger;
• add the record to the distributed ledger without communicating with the at least one other device to validate the record;
• receive a request for information included in the record;
• 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;
• determine, based on communicating with the one or more devices, that the record is valid;
• and
• output, in response to the request and based on determining that the record is valid, the requested information included in the record.

A method, comprising:

• maintaining, by a device, a distributed ledger that is also maintained by at least one other device;
• receiving a record for recordation to the distributed ledger;
• adding the record to the distributed ledger without communicating with the at least one other device to validate the record;
• receiving a request for information included in the record;
• after receiving the request for the information included in the record, communicating with one or more devices, of the at least one other device, to validate the record;
• determining, based on communicating with the one or more devices, that the record is valid;
• and
• outputting, in response to the request and based on determining that the record is valid, the requested information included in the record.
