merkletree-rs

Sparse MerkleTree implementation in Rust.

The MerkleTree is optimized in the design and concepts, to have a faster and lighter MerkleTree, maintaining compatibility with a non optimized MerkleTree. In this way, the MerkleRoot of the optimized MerkleTree will be the same that the MerkleRoot of the non optimized MerkleTree.

Compatible with the Go version: https://github.com/arnaucube/go-merkletree

Usage

Create new tree:

let mut mt: MerkleTree = new(140);

Add value to leaf:

let val = TestValue {
  bytes: "this is a test leaf".as_bytes().to_vec(),
  index_length: 15,
};
mt.add(&val);

Get proof:

let mp = mt.generate_proof(val.hi());

Verify proof:

// check if the value exist
let v = verify_proof(mt.root, mp, val.hi(), val.ht(), mt.num_levels);

// check if the don't value exist
let v = verify_proof(mt.root, mp, val.hi(), EMPTYNODEVALUE, mt.num_levels);
