Merkle Tree

Advanced

A Merkle Tree is a data structure used in blockchains to efficiently organise and verify large sets of data. In a Merkle Tree, each leaf node represents a transaction, and nodes are hashed together in pairs until they form a single Merkle Root. This root summarises all transactions in a block and is stored in the block header. Merkle Trees allow for fast, secure verification without needing to review every transaction individually.

Mining is the process of validating transactions and adding them to a blockchain. Miners use powerful computers and are rewarded with cryptocurrency for their efforts. This helps maintain the network’s security and decentralised nature.
