Merkle Trees 101 (Part 2): From Theory to Working Code

Part two moves from theory to practice by implementing a Merkle tree in Go. It walks through defining node and tree structures, handling odd node counts, constructing the tree level by level, generating Merkle proofs, and verifying inclusion against the Merkle root using SHA-256 hashing. The result...
