Verkle Tree

A data structure that will replace Ethereum's current Merkle Patricia trie for state storage.

A data structure that will replace Ethereum's current Merkle Patricia trie for state storage. Verkle trees produce much smaller proofs, enabling stateless clients that can verify blocks without storing the entire state. This is a major planned upgrade for Ethereum's scalability.
