Binary tree support
holgerd77 opened this issue · comments
Data structures in Ethereum sharding will use a binary instead of a hex tree for shorter merkle proofs, see e.g. the Chunk tree description for Collations in the sharding phase 1 spec.
It should be analyzed if this library can easily be adopted to also support binary tree structures (first guess: just change the maximum number of child nodes).
Or if e.g. another tree implementation is already existing (e.g. https://github.com/dfinity/js-dfinity-radix-tree, also consider license compatibility), that would better serve the needs for sharding.
seems to be worth a rewrite using promises. Just my 2 cents :)
Issue written with somewhat outdated assumptions and context, will close in favor of #121
