What Is the Impact of Transaction Batching on Merkle Tree Efficiency?

Transaction batching, where multiple transactions are grouped together before being included in a block, significantly improves Merkle Tree efficiency. By reducing the number of individual transactions, the Merkle Tree becomes shallower.

This means that a Merkle Proof, which is required for verification, is smaller and requires fewer hashing operations. Batching also helps to reduce overall network congestion and transaction costs.
