[Whitepaper Wednesday] Coded Merkle Trees

This week, we are reading about Coded Merkle Trees, a proposed data structure that lets light clients verify that fullnodes aren't withholding data from them: https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/1139.pdf

We'll discuss how the data structure works, and why data availability is important for Layer 2 solutions.

Bring your lunch, questions and comments to Crypto NYC, where we'll talk through it together.

All levels of experience are welcome. We're here to learn from each other!
