Merkle Cascade
An interactive Merkle tree: click any leaf to watch its hash cascade hop by hop to the root, with the sibling hashes that form the inclusion proof highlighted along the way — four hashes prove one of sixteen leaves.

A landmark 2025 result: ~250 poisoned documents backdoor an LLM whether it has 600M or 13B parameters — 0.00016% of the tokens. DataDAOs sell 'verifiable' training data, but on-chain provenance proves integrity, not purity. Here's the gap, and what actually narrows it.
World Chain reserved top-of-block space for verified humans while 382M smart-account ops poured in. We read the Semaphore tree on Ethereum — 17.59M identities, hourly batches at ~3,300 gas each — decode PBH's month-stamped nullifiers, and find the human-only lane sitting almost empty.
