Merkle Tree

Merkle Tree is a computer science term found in cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. It condenses large datasets into a single hash called the Merkle root. This root is included in a block’s header, enabling easy verification of transaction authenticity.

Any attempt to alter a transaction is quickly detected as it would require recalculating the Merkle root, ensuring data integrity and enhancing blockchain efficiency and security.
