Hey @EchoAlice could you provide an explanation or reference for this? |
Sure thing. The doc claims that only 2 auxilary nodes would be required to prove a single value in the 8 leaf node merkle tree example. But 3 nodes are required. "Demonstrating that a leaf node is a part of a given binary hash tree requires computing a number of hashes proportional to the logarithm of the number of leaf nodes in the tree." See wikipedia here. log2(8) = 3 |

Oh great. That makes sense. Thank you! |
