🌳 Merkle Tree β€” The Root of Trust in Harpo

If Nullifiers prevent double spending and Commitments protect privacy, it’s the Merkle Tree that ensures everything connects in a verifiable and secure way.

In Harpo, all commitments are organized into a Merkle Tree β€” forming the system’s trust backbone.

πŸ’‘ What does this guarantee?
πŸ” Verifiability β€” You can prove an asset exists without exposing its details
⚑ Efficiency β€” Lightweight ZK proofs, even with thousands of transactions
πŸ›‘οΈ Immutability β€” Once registered, data cannot be erased or altered

πŸ› οΈ How does it work in Harpo?
1️⃣ Each commitment is a leaf in the tree
2️⃣ Hashes are combined up to the root (Merkle Root)
3️⃣ A ZKP confirms inclusion β€” without revealing sensitive data

βœ… The result:

Scalability
Trust
Privacy preserved
