Ethereum data structure.

If you want to know more about the ethereum network and how it is maintained, 

Read this Thread 🧵🧵

1, The Ethereum data structures are the backbone of the network. These data structures are used to store and manage the data that makes up the blockchain, including transaction history, account balances, smart contract codes, and more. Given differing use cases, we can distinguish three types:

2, Merkle tree is one of the main data structures in Ethereum. A Merkle tree can store large amounts of data in a compact, verifiable way.

How it works: by diving the data into smaller chunks/pieces, hashing those chunks, and then combining those hashes into a tree-like pattern or structure.

2, when the data is stored in a Merkle tree, Ethereum can validate the integrity of the data without downloading the blockchain. This is because each block header contains a hash of the Merkle root, which serve as a compact summary of every transaction in the block.

3, State trie is another essential data structure used in Ethereum, it is a way of storing the current status of the Ethereum network.

4, just like the Merkle tree, the state trie is also in a tree-like structure that uses hashes to validate the integrity of the data. Even though there is a similarity in structure, State trie is mutable which means it can be updated as the new transactions are processed, unlike the Merkle tree which is immutable - meaning it cannot be changed or updated.

5, the last data structure we will talk about is transaction tire. It is a way of storing all the transactions that have been processed by Ethereum.

6, similar to the other data structures, transaction tire is also stored in a tree-like structure. It utilizes hashes to verify the integrity of the data. the Transaction tire is immutable, which means that once a transaction is added to the trie, it can't be changed or modified, unlike the state tire.

In summary, the Ethereum data structure is an essential part of the Ethereum Blockchain. It permits efficient management and storage of data that make up the network.

So what do you think about the Ethereum Data structure?

Let’s keep the conversation going in the comment section.
