Accelerating transactions from a trusted source

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for accelerating a transaction from a trusted source are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes the step of obtaining a transaction to be processed in a network. The transaction may include one or more changes to data records stored in a database. The method also includes determining whether the transaction is obtained from a trusted source, where the trusted source may be predefined as a device that knows the state of components in the network. When the transaction is obtained from a trusted source, the method includes the step of committing the one or more changes prior to checking the validity of the one or more changes. When the transaction is not obtained from a trusted source, the method includes the step of checking the validity of the one or more changes prior to committing the one or more changes.
