Open Source C Communications Software

Most blockchains, such as Ethereum, require a client to connect to their blockchain network. Often, these clients require a lot of storage, a very high bandwidth or constant computation. While this is possible to perform on laptops or desktop systems, mobile devices, mobile app, and even web applications struggle to meet these requirements. Currently the solution of choice is to use a light client or remote client on mobile devices. While this may work for mobile phones, most IoT devices are unable to run light clients. Connecting an IoT device to a remote node enables even low-performance IoT devices to be connected to blockchain. However, by using distinct remote nodes, the advantages of a decentralized network are undermined introducing a single point of failure. Also, it is unsecure because the client is not able to verify the results by itself. The same applies for mobile apps or web pages.
