Verkle Tree

Verkle Tree is a type of cryptographic data structure used to organize and verify data in blockchain systems efficiently. It combines features from Merkle trees and vector commitments, allowing for more compact and scalable data proofs. In a Verkle tree, data is stored in nodes with each node containing multiple children. This structure enables faster and more space-efficient verification of data, which is crucial for blockchain scalability. By reducing the size of proofs, Verkle trees improve the performance and efficiency of blockchains, especially in resource-constrained environments.
