Understanding Merkle Trees: a Rust Implementation with Blockchain Examples

A developer published an educational Rust-based Merkle tree library and blog post explaining how Merkle trees work.

The post covers tree construction, inclusion proofs, verification, and a blockchain example using Simplified Payment Verification (SPV).

The implementation is for learning only, not production use, and the author recommends rs-merkle for real applications.

It helps readers understand a core blockchain data structure through concrete code and practical verification concepts.
