MerkleTree
Defined in: lib/provable/merkle-tree.ts:28
A Merkle Tree is a binary tree in which every leaf is the cryptography hash of a piece of data, and every node is the hash of the concatenation of its two child nodes.
A Merkle Tree allows developers to easily and securely verify the integrity of large amounts of data.
Take a look at our documentation on how to use Merkle Trees in combination with zkApps and zero knowledge programming!
Levels are indexed from leaves (level 0) to root (level N - 1).
