Confidential State Tree

Structure

A Confidential State Tree represents a cryptographic data structure designed to maintain the privacy of individual states within a larger, publicly verifiable system. This structure typically utilizes Merkle trees, where each leaf node corresponds to a confidential state, and cryptographic commitments ensure data integrity without revealing underlying values. The root hash of the tree can be publicly committed, while individual state updates remain private. This architecture is fundamental for scalable privacy solutions.
