Merkle Tree

This is a fixed depth merkle tree implementation with sequential inserts

Usage

import { MerkleTree, PartialMerkleTree } from 'fixed-merkle-tree'

const tree = new MerkleTree(10, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
tree.insert(6)
tree.update(3, 42)
const path = tree.proof(3)
console.log(path)
// output
{
  pathElements: [
    42,
