# Light Clients and Parachain Data Verification
A light client lets you utilize all basic features of the chain such as fetching data and transferring tokens, but it does not require you to run a full copy of the entire blockchain or have to trust remote peers. Light clients fetch the required data that they need from a node with an associated proof to validate the data.
The light client connection type may be used only for Polkadot and Kusama in the current version of the Nova Spektr application.
If Polkadot or (and) Kusama are connected with Light clients then for their parachains [Parachain Data verification ](https://github.com/novasamatech/omni-research-docs/tree/main/parachain-data-verification)is running. Parrachain Data Verification uses trusted data from relay chains (Polkadot, Kusama) to verify data from parachain remote nodes. This approach increases the reliability, security and sustainability of the parachain RPC connection.
### If you’d like to turn on Light Client for Polkadot and (or) Kusama then:
1. Open the **Network Management**.
2. Click on the **dropdown menu** for the Polkadot or Kusama.
3. In the dropdown menu select **Light Client**.
4. Wait until the Light Client is starting.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.novaspektr.io/settings/network-management/light-clients-and-parachain-data-verification.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
