Merkle Proof Verification (Python)

Build a Merkle tree and verify proofs in Python for whitelist verification. Build a Merkle tree and verify proofs in Python for whitelist verification.

Explanation

This pure-Python Merkle tree builds layers by hashing pairs of nodes. The proof for a leaf is its sibling at each layer. Verification re-hashes the leaf with its siblings to see if it reaches the root. This is the basis for Solidity whitelist verification.
