It’s Technical Tuesday on the Hiro Blog! We’ve got a new post coming at you by one of our BIG 2021 pickups, Distributed Systems Engineer Pavitthra Pandurangan. She joined in February and hit the ground running with learning all there is to know about Stacks tech. You might even recognize her from hosting the weekly SIP reading rooms where they deep dive on the design, implementation, and governance of the Stacks blockchain. Well she spent some time rigorously researching how the Merkelized Adaptive Radix Forest (or “MARF”) allows us to efficiently query and authenticate blockchain state, and packaged up awesome explainer summarizing how data is stored on Stacks. If you’re nerdy for the crazy computer science parts of blockchain, then this is the blog post for you!
