Scionic Merkle Branches vs Merkle DAG Branches

Our predecessor, the Merkle DAG, is depicted by the white graph while the dark-mode graph showcases the new Scionic Merkle Tree.

In Merkle DAGs, each DAG leaf folder houses a list of children (Child1, Child2, etc). However, Scionic Merkle Trees transform this list into a classic Merkle tree. By doing so, a tiny classic Merkle tree is created inside every DAG leaf folder.

Users can now use a classic Merkle branch to acquire a file from the DAG without downloading the hash of every other file within the same folder as the requested file, making the process quicker and less costly. note14vd…hxa3
