We discuss the history of the concept, explore different kinds of Merkle trees, and touch on Radix trees and Patricia Merkle tries. We also look a bit at their usage in both Bitcoin and Ethereum.\r\n\n\nThe topic was a challenging one to explain without diagrams or visuals, so below we are sharing some resources we used in preperation for this episode.
