Merkle Tree Verification refers to the process of confirming the integrity and consistency of data stored in a Merkle tree, a data structure that summarizes and verifies multiple transactions efficiently. In a Merkle tree, transactions are represented as leaves, while parent nodes are cryptographic hashes of their child nodes. This hierarchical structure allows for quick verification; instead of checking every single transaction, one can validate the root hash. If the root hash matches the expected value, it confirms that all underlying transactions are intact.When a user wants to verify a transaction, they can use a proof, which includes hashes from the transaction’s leaves to the root. This method minimizes the amount of data needed for verification, making the process faster and less resource-intensive. By ensuring that data has not been altered, Merkle tree verification enhances security and trust in decentralized networks, making it easier to maintain consensus without central authority.
