How Is the Merkle Tree Used in Side-Chain Technology?

Side-chains use Merkle Trees to prove the state of the main chain or the transfer of assets between chains. A Merkle Proof can be used to prove to the side-chain that a specific event (like a lock-up of assets) occurred on the main chain.

This is vital for two-way peg mechanisms, ensuring the integrity of cross-chain asset movement.
