Crate allowing to calculate root hashes and Merkle proofs for small in-memory Merkle trees.

In-memory Merkle tree

Simple in-memory binary Merkle tree implementation. The tree is of bounded depth (up to 1,024 leaves) and uses the keccak-256 hash function.

Benchmarking

The tree implementation comes with a criterion benchmark that can be run with a command like this:

cargo bench -p zksync_mini_merkle_tree --bench tree

The order of timings should be 2M elements/s for all tree sizes (measured on MacBook Pro with 12-core Apple M2 Max CPU), both for calculating the root and the root + Merkle path. This translates to approximately 130µs for a tree with 512 leaves (the tree size used for L2ToL1Logs).
