What is Merkel’s root?

A Merkle root is a simple mathematical method for convolution on a Merkle tree. They are used in cryptography to insure that data blocks sent through p2p networks are complete, undamaged, and unaltered.


Understanding a Markel root.

A blockchain consists of various blocks that are linked to each other. A hash tree or Merkle tree encodes blockchain data efficiently and securely.

It enables the verification of blockchain data as well as the quick movement of large amounts of data from one computer node to another on a p2p blockchain network.

A hash is associated with every transaction that occurs on the blockchain network, but these hashes are not stored in sequential order on the blockchain but are stored as a structure.

Like hash is related to its parent after parent-child tree-like relation. Since there are several transaction stores on a particular block, therefore all the transaction hashes in the block are also hashed, resulting in the Merkle root.

Essentially, the Merkle tree and Merkle root mechanism significantly reduce the hashing level for performance, enabling faster verification and transactions. The Merkle root hashing process can be used to verify the niche leaf nodes (transaction id/hash) of the Merkle tree. If you are familiar with how bitcoin works, you may know that transaction hashes are combined into a single hash. Is replaced, which is the block header route. This single hash is the Merkle root, sometimes also called a root hash.

A Merkle root has a single hash that can validate every single transaction hash in a block, such as a Merkle root included in the block header of a block on a blockchain.

Advantages

  • It is easy to check whether the transaction has been tampered with or not
  • It uses fewer resources to generate the hash, or it uses fewer resources to comply or return the result.
  • It is easy to verify whether this specific transaction has been added to the block or not.
  • It is tamper-proof

Conclusion

Merkle allows root users to check that specific transactions have been included in a block without having to download the entire blockchain. If you want to check whether your transaction has occurred or not, then you can do that by using a protocol called SPF (Simple Payment Verification). With the help of this protocol, payment verification has been simplified. By which you can know whether your transaction has happened or not.
