    1. 0.2. How Verkle Trees Work
    2. 0.4. Why Verkle Trees Matter

A Verkle Tree is a cryptographic data structure designed to improve blockchain scalability by enabling compact proofs of large amounts of data.

How Verkle Trees Work

Verkle trees are similar to Merkle trees but use vector commitments instead of hash functions for proof generation. This allows a much smaller proof size, even when dealing with thousands of data points. In blockchains, this means nodes can verify specific pieces of data without needing the entire dataset, improving efficiency and reducing storage requirements.

Why Verkle Trees Matter

Verkle trees are expected to play a major role in Ethereum’s future upgrades, especially in enabling stateless clients. By reducing the size and complexity of proofs, they help improve network performance and decentralization. Developers and users benefit from faster sync times and lower hardware demands.
