#SuperEx #EducationalSeries #MerkleTree Today’s topic is Merkle Trees — and yes, the name alone sounds like something straight out of a research paper, the kind of thing that makes you want to step back like it’s a math function. But in reality, Merkle Trees are an essential concept in Web3. You don’t have to understand every technical detail, but you definitely shouldn’t be completely unaware of what they are. Without it, Bitcoin wouldn’t be scalable, Ethereum couldn’t verify data so efficiently, and the entire Web3 ecosystem might collapse under the weight of its own transactions. In this article, we’ll break down what a Merkle Tree is, how it works, and why it’s so critical for blockchain technology. What Exactly Is a Merkle Tree? Imagine you’re running a grocery store with thousands of receipts every day.At the end of the day, you need to confirm that all receipts are real — but checking every single one manually would take forever. What if you could just compare a single code that represents all receipts at once — and instantly know whether anything was altered? That’s exactly what a Merkle Tree does for blockchain. A Merkle Tree (or hash tree) is a data structure that organizes information efficiently for verification. It breaks data into smaller chunks, hashes them (turns them into digital fingerprints), and then combines those hashes into a single root hash — the Merkle Root. In simple terms: Merkle Tree = A way to verify huge amounts of data with a single, small piece of information. How Does a Merkle Tree Work? Let’s walk through a simple example. Suppose we have four transactions in a block: Tx1, Tx2, Tx3, Tx4. Here’s what happens: 1. Hash each transaction H1 = Hash(Tx1) H2 = Hash(Tx2) H3 = Hash(Tx3) H4 = Hash(Tx4) 2. Combine and hash them in pairs H12 = Hash(H1 + H2) H34 = Hash(H3 + H4) 3. Combine again to form the root H1234 = Hash(H12 + H34) H1234 is the Merkle Root — a single hash that represents all transactions:If even one transaction changes (say Tx2), the entire chain of hashes changes, meaning the Merkle Root changes too — exposing tampering immediately. Why Blockchain Needs Merkle Trees In traditional databases, data verification is centralized and relatively easy. But in a decentralized blockchain, where every node holds a copy of the ledger, efficiency and security become major challenges. Here’s how Merkle Trees solve that: 1. Efficient Verification (SPV) Bitcoin’s Simplified Payment Verification (SPV) allows lightweight nodes (like mobile wallets) to verify transactions without downloading the entire blockchain. They only need: The block header (which includes the Merkle Root) A Merkle Proof (a few related hashes) This lets them confirm that a transaction is real — saving massive bandwidth and time. 2. Data Integrity Because each layer of the Merkle Tree depends on the previous hashes, altering even one transaction would cause a chain reaction of mismatches — immediately exposing fraud or manipulation. 3. Scalability Instead of verifying thousands of transactions individually, nodes can validate just the root hash. That makes blockchain systems like Bitcoin and Ethereum scalable and lightweight while maintaining security. The Anatomy of a Merkle Tree Let’s go one layer deeper. A typical Merkle Tree consists of three main components: Leaf Nodes:Contain the hashed data of individual transactions Intermediate Nodes:Contain hashes of concatenated child nodes Root Node (Merkle Root):The final hash summarizing all underlying data Visually, it looks like this: Each branch connects through hashes, forming a “tree” where all leaves (transactions) ultimately connect to a single root. Merkle Proof — Verifying Without Seeing Everything In blockchain, downloading every transaction just to confirm one is inefficient. Merkle Trees enable a trick called Merkle Proof. Suppose Alice wants to verify that Tx3 exists in a block. She doesn’t need all transactions — only: H3, H4, and H12 H34 = Hash(H3 + H4) Merkle Root = Hash(H12 + H34) If her calculated Merkle Root matches the block’s official root, she knows Tx3 is valid. This lightweight verification is what enables Bitcoin SPV wallets and efficient cross-chain systems. Types of Merkle Trees There isn’t just one Merkle Tree. Different designs exist to meet the growing complexity of blockchain systems — from simple payment chains like Bitcoin to smart contract platforms like Ethereum and privacy-focused Layer-2s. Let’s explore the three most influential types of Merkle Trees and how they shape the blockchain landscape. 1. Binary Merkle Tree — The Classic Backbone The Binary Merkle Tree is the original and most widely used form. In this structure, each node has exactly two children, and each leaf node represents the hash of a piece of data (like a transaction). Parent nodes are built by hashing the concatenation of their child nodes until a single Merkle Root is formed. It’s elegant, efficient, and battle-tested. Bitcoin uses it to organize all transactions within a block — enabling fast verification, tamper detection, and lightweight validation through SPV (Simplified Payment Verification). For example, a mobile wallet that doesn’t store the full blockchain can still verify if a transaction is included in a block simply by checking a small subset of hashes (a Merkle proof). This makes the Binary Merkle Tree the foundation of blockchain efficiency and scalability. However, it’s not perfect. As block sizes grow and transaction numbers explode, even binary trees can become large, making synchronization and proof generation slower. This limitation paved the way for more advanced variations like Patricia and Sparse Merkle Trees. 2. Patricia Merkle Tree (or Trie) — The Smart Contract Enabler Ethereum took the Merkle Tree a step further with the Patricia Merkle Trie (or MPT). This is not just a tree for verification — it’s a hybrid of a Merkle Tree and a Prefix Tree (Trie), optimized for storing key-value pairs. In simple terms: A Binary Merkle Tree only tells you “whether data exists and is valid.” A Patricia Merkle Trie tells you “which key belongs to which data, and how to find or update it efficiently.” Each node in a Patricia Trie represents a prefix of a key, and data is stored along specific paths. This structure is what makes Ethereum’s state database — including account balances, contract code, and storage variables — both verifiable and searchable. Ethereum actually maintains three separate Merkle Patricia Tries: 1) State Trie: Tracks all account balances and smart contract states. 2) Transaction Trie: Contains all transactions in a block. 3) Receipt Trie: Records execution results and logs. Every block header stores the root hash of these three tries, giving Ethereum a trustless, verifiable global state. Whenever a transaction changes any account or contract, the state trie updates — and a new Merkle Root is produced. This innovation is what allows Ethereum to go beyond simple transactions and become the foundation of decentralized applications (DApps) and DeFi ecosystems. It’s also why Merkle structures remain relevant even as blockchains evolve into multi-layer architectures. 3. Sparse Merkle Tree — The Bridge to Privacy and Scalability The Sparse Merkle Tree (SMT) is a modern evolution of the traditional design. It was created to handle large, dynamic datasets where not every possible leaf has an active value. In a Sparse Merkle Tree: The tree includes every possible key in a fixed-size keyspace (e.g., ²²⁵⁶ leaves). Empty positions are filled with a default hash value. Proofs can be generated not only for existence of data but also for its non-existence. Why is that important? Because in many systems — especially zk-rollups, Layer-2 solutions, and privacy protocols — you often need to prove that something does not exist, such as a nullified note or a spent transaction. Traditional Merkle Trees can’t do that efficiently; Sparse Merkle Trees can.They also allow constant-size proofs, no matter how large the dataset grows. This property makes them ideal for: Zero-knowledge systems (zk-SNARKs) Proof-of-reserves audits Decentralized identity and access control Projects like Celestia, Mina Protocol, and several rollups use Sparse Merkle Trees (or modified versions) to balance efficiency, privacy, and verifiability. Specific ecological total Merkle Trees 1. Merkle Trees in Bitcoin Bitcoin stores all transactions of a block inside a Merkle Tree, and the Merkle Root is included in the block header. When miners create a new block: They hash all transactions into a Merkle Tree Include the Merkle Root in the header Then compute the block hash using Proof of Work That’s why if any transaction changes, the Merkle Root changes → block hash changes → the block becomes invalid. This chain of dependency ensures immutability — the foundation of Bitcoin’s trust model. 2. Merkle Trees in Ethereum Ethereum extends the concept even further with Merkle Patricia Tries (MPT). Ethereum doesn’t just record transactions — it stores account states, balances, and smart contract data. To manage all that efficiently, it uses three tries: State Trie — account balances, nonces, storage roots Transaction Trie — all transactions in a block Receipt Trie — all transaction receipts Each trie has its own Merkle Root, and the three roots are combined into the block header. This makes Ethereum auditable, verifiable, and tamper-resistant — all thanks to Merkle structures. 3. Merkle Trees Beyond Blockchain Merkle Trees aren’t just for crypto. Their design is so elegant that they’re now used across tech industries. Applications include: File integrity verification (Git, IPFS) Secure cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox) Certificate transparency (TLS/SSL auditing) Decentralized storage (Filecoin, Arweave) Zero-knowledge proofs & rollups Basically, anywhere data integrity and verification matter — Merkle Trees play a role. Why You Should Care About Merkle Trees Even though they sound “technical,” Merkle Trees are what make trustless systems possible. Without them: Blockchains would need to transmit massive amounts of redundant data. Verification would be painfully slow. The “trustless” nature of Web3 wouldn’t exist. Every time your wallet shows a transaction confirmed, or you verify a smart contract event — a Merkle Tree is quietly doing the work behind the scenes. They’re not visible, but they’re indispensable. Conclusion: The Root of Trust Merkle Trees may look simple — just hashes stacked in pairs — but they represent one of the most powerful ideas in computer science. They compress massive data sets into tiny, verifiable proofs. They turn decentralized systems from theory into practice. They embody one of blockchain’s deepest values: don’t trust, verify. As blockchain continues evolving — from rollups to zk-proofs to multi-chain universes — the Merkle Tree remains the invisible foundation holding it all together. So the next time you check a transaction hash, remember: Beneath that number lies a tree — and that tree holds the entire blockchain together.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The advertiser is Stars Partners (ex. Lala.Stars) and the product is OceanSpin. Our first campaign was launched in June and focused mainly on ASO traffic, which was approved in advance under fixed CPA terms with no KPI or retention requirements. Shortly after, without any factual justification, traffic from four independent webmasters amounting to €16,400 was labeled as fraudulent. The accusation was made retroactively, after approval and invoicing, and based solely on “ChatGPT analytics” and generic “activity screenshots.” Despite this, management refused to provide data or engage in proper review. Requests for a detailed report were ignored, while the entire flow was labeled “partner fraud.”The decision appeared arbitrary, made after the fact, and inconsistent with the advertiser’s own approval and payment confirmation. Although the advertiser declined to fulfill the payout, we fully compensated our webmasters for the approved traffic at our own expense, as they should not bear the consequences of the advertiser’s internal decisions. For us, this case was not only about payment, but about maintaining trust, accountability, and transparency within our partner network. → We are aware that we are not the only partners who have faced such an issue. The market should be informed about this case. Well, this is just denial, nothing more... Although we are presenting everything quite reasonably.

#EducationSerie #BlockchainExplorers Have you ever heard this saying: “Without a blockchain explorer, a blockchain is just a black box”? That’s not an exaggeration. A blockchain explorer is a basic tool every crypto user, developer, and trader must master. It’s not only a “window into the blockchain,” but also the information bedrock of the entire decentralized ecosystem — letting you see fund flows, verify whether transactions are real, trace contract execution, and even observe market hotspots. In today’s explainer, we’ll dive into the history, architectural principles, core functions, evolution, and — most importantly — how you can use a blockchain explorer to become a true “on-chain reader.” https://news.superex.com/articles/14708.html Blockchain explorers are the “Google” of the on-chain world Using Google as an analogy is fairly accurate; in terms of functionality, a blockchain explorer can even be more powerful. You can think of a blockchain explorer as a combination of “Google + a bank ledger + developer tools.” It is a query interface that connects ordinary users to the blockchain’s underlying data. Through it, you can search for: Whether a given transaction succeeded; The balance of a specific wallet; A token’s circulating supply; The timestamp of a specific block; Even the source code of a smart contract. In one sentence: a blockchain explorer turns on-chain data from “code” into “information,” from a “black box” into “transparency.” For example: you complete an ETH transfer on SuperEx or MetaMask. When the transaction is first submitted, the status shows “pending.” At this point you can copy the transaction hash and paste it into Etherscan. You’ll then see the granular details: Who sent it, and how much? How much was the miner fee? How many block confirmations? Final status: success or failure? This is the core function of an explorer — enabling anyone to verify anything. How does a blockchain explorer work? A blockchain explorer is actually an integrated system of “blockchain nodes + data indexing + a front-end interface.” Its operating logic can be summarized in three steps: 1. From “synchronization” to “consensus”: ensuring authoritative data The first step — syncing blocks — is far more than just “downloading data,” because different nodes can have inconsistent block versions due to network latency or forks. A mature explorer must implement consensus validation to ensure that displayed data matches the canonical mainnet state. For instance: When a chain reorg occurs, the explorer must automatically identify which fork is canonical and recompute the latest transaction state. For networks with sharding (e.g., NEAR or ETH2), the explorer must sync each shard separately and then merge them into a global view. This ensures that what users see on Etherscan or BscScan is real and finalized — not an “unconfirmed mirror.” 2. Data structure optimization: from raw blocks to queryable data A commonly overlooked difficulty: raw blockchain data is complex and massive. Take Ethereum — daily new data can reach tens of gigabytes. How do explorers return results in seconds? The answer is “indexing + caching + compression”: (1) Indexing: Explorers use distributed databases (e.g., Elasticsearch or PostgreSQL clusters) to build multi-dimensional indexes on addresses, hashes, contract events, etc. When a user queries an address, the system doesn’t scan all blocks — it hits the relevant index. (2) Caching: High-frequency data (popular tokens, recent blocks, gas fees) is cached in high-speed in-memory databases like Redis, greatly improving response time. (3) Compression: Historical blocks are stored with segmented compression and deduplication, keeping only necessary fields to improve storage efficiency. This is why Etherscan can return huge on-chain datasets so quickly — the backend engineering is far more complex than it appears. 3. Smart-contract decoding and event tracing In the era of smart contracts, explorers are no longer just “transfer viewers.” Every DeFi action, NFT trade, or even DAO vote corresponds to a set of complex contract calls. To interpret this “hex gibberish,” explorers use ABI (Application Binary Interface) decoders: They obtain ABI files from on-chain verified source code (or official registries such as Etherscan Verified Contracts); Then, using function signatures and event logs, they reverse-parse human-readable information like “Uniswap V3 Swap” or “Mint NFT #1209.” At the same time, explorers run “event-tracking systems”: By listening to contract events, they can track ecosystem activities such as liquidity adds, staking, or liquidations. Some advanced explorers can even generate “wallet profiles,” showing which protocols a wallet interacts with most frequently. This elevates explorers from mere “block viewers” to intelligent interpretation layers for on-chain data. 4. Cross-chain browsing and unified views With the rise of multichain ecosystems (BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche…), a single-chain explorer no longer meets user needs. Hence, multi-chain explorers have become the trend. For example, Blockchair supports a dozen chains such as BTC, ETH, LTC, and BNB. The challenge: different chains use different data structures, hash algorithms, and timestamp schemes. To achieve “unified presentation,” explorers must build a middleware layer that standardizes metadata across chains into a unified query language. This is akin to building a “Google-style search system” for the entire multichain world. 5. Security and audit dimensions Another important role of explorers is on-chain security and risk signaling. Today, most mainstream explorers include: Smart-contract risk labels (e.g., phishing, blacklisted addresses); Token contract verification (to prevent counterfeit tokens); Real-time monitoring of anomalous transactions (e.g., very large transfers, bridge exploits). Some platforms are introducing AI analytics into the explorer layer, using big data and behavioral models to identify “abnormal transaction paths.” For example, if the system detects an address withdrawing from multiple DEXs and bridging to an anonymous wallet in a short period, it may auto-flag this as “potential arbitrage or security risk.” With these features, explorers have become the first line of defense for on-chain security — not just information tools. Core modules of a blockchain explorer A mature blockchain explorer typically includes the following key modules: Block information Block height Block hash Block time Block producer / validator address Number of transactions Block reward / fee statistics Use cases: analyze network health, block cadence, validator distribution. Transaction tracing Transaction hash (TXID) From / To addresses Token type (ETH, USDT, BTC, etc.) Fee Confirmations Status (Pending / Success / Fail) Use cases: verify success/failure; inspect the transfer path. Address tracing Every wallet address is a “public file” on an explorer: Historical transactions Current balance Token holdings Interacted contracts list Last active time Use cases: Track whale behavior; Monitor on-chain fund flows; Detect suspicious addresses (hacker wallets, rug-pull funds). Contract & token information On EVM chains, each token is actually a contract. Explorers show: Contract address Source code (if verified by the developer) Compiler version Number of holders Top-100 holder distribution Use cases: identify fake tokens; verify project legitimacy; analyze holder concentration. Analytics tools Advanced explorers — Etherscan, BscScan, Solscan, OKLink, SuperEx Scan, etc. — also integrate data visualization: Total transaction volume curves Gas price trends Token issuance trends Contract activity levels Wallet growth stats Use cases: assist in investment analysis and project research. Why are blockchain explorers so important? In the centralized world, we rely on bank statements. In crypto, the only proof that a transaction “really exists” is on-chain data. Based on this, an explorer’s importance shows up in five dimensions: Verifiability: you no longer need to trust any intermediary; as long as the data is on-chain, it can be publicly verified. This is the essence of blockchain as a “trust machine.” Transparency: the actions of projects, exchanges, and institutions can all be traced, making “forgery” and “black-box operations” extremely difficult. Educational value: explorers let newcomers intuitively understand chain logic. It’s the first step in learning blockchain. Security: via an explorer, you can: Confirm whether you interacted with a fake contract; Check if the transfer address is correct; Trace hacker fund flows. 5. Data insights: explorers have spawned a massive data ecosystem — Nansen, Dune, Arkham, DeFiLlama and other analytics platforms are “second-layer observation tools” built on top of on-chain data. The evolution of explorers: from “block lookup” to “on-chain indexing engines” Stage 1: Single-chain browsing (2009–2015) The earliest explorers could only query BTC block heights and TXIDs; functionality was extremely limited. Early examples include blockchain.info and blockexplorer.com. Stage 2: Multichain & visualization (2016–2020) Ethereum ushered in multi-dimensional data. Etherscan became the standard, adding smart-contract analytics, Gas Tracker, and token distribution. Explorers began to evolve from “tools” into “ecosystem gateways.” Stage 3: Multichain aggregation & API-as-a-service (2020–2023) With multichain proliferation, aggregators emerged: OKLink, Blockchair, DeFiLlama Scan, etc., offering unified search, cross-chain address tracing, and chain-to-chain comparisons. Meanwhile, API services (Etherscan API, Covalent, Alchemy) started powering DApp data calls. Stage 4: Modular & composable explorers (2024–future) Explorers are becoming “modular analytics engines” — combining AI, visualization, and wallet integration to deliver a true Web3 data portal. Users can customize analytics templates, follow specific addresses, and generate reports. Conclusion: from “seeing blocks” to “understanding blockchains” Blockchain explorers let us, for the first time, truly “see the truth.” They make every transfer, every contract call, and every market fluctuation traceable. In a decentralized era, they are the one window we can trust. Without blockchain explorers, blockchains are just a myth; With blockchain explorers, blockchains become reality.

In this article, I’ll share a real case study of running Facebook Ads for financial offers based on my personal experience and insights from my Affiliate Manager at Dinos, who directly guided me throughout the campaign. The truth is: if you understand how Facebook’s system works and optimize your ads the right way, you can run campaigns stably, generate consistent leads, and avoid bans. However, it’s equally important to understand Facebook’s ever-tightening ad policies to prevent risk, save time, and protect your ad budget. This post summarizes the full process from preparation and setup to optimization and troubleshooting plus practical notes shared by Dinos’ Affiliate Manager. Hopefully, it gives you a realistic perspective and more confidence in running financial offers in 2025. Why I Still Choose Facebook (Even When Everyone Says “It’s Too Risky”) At first, I also hesitated “Better stay away from Facebook.” But after several tests, I realized Facebook remains a massive and highly convertible traffic source as long as you understand its system and play smart. Facebook users are real people with real financial needs, and its machine learning engine can optimize performance effectively if you feed it the right signals. Especially in loan and consumer finance verticals, user demand is strong all year long — not seasonal — making it an ideal channel for long-term results. According to Dinos’ Affiliate Support, Facebook can still work well for finance — but you need to use the right ad type. The recommended format is Click to Website (C2W) instead of “Messages.” This ensures account safety, better control of creatives, and accurate conversion tracking. Instead of trying to close sales in Messenger (which triggers policy violations easily), sending users to a clean landing page helps you stay compliant, scale safely, and maintain strong ROI across multiple GEOs. How I Set Up My Click-to-Website Campaign (C2W) I chose C2W over the “Messages” objective because direct chat ads often get flagged due to sensitive loan-related words. C2W is safer and allows better tracking. I implemented Pixel + Postback tracking to help Facebook learn user behavior — from clicking the ad, visiting the landing page, filling out the form, to becoming a qualified lead. This setup improved auto-optimization and conversion accuracy. Advantages of C2W: Easier ad approval (cleaner content) Ability to optimize based on real website actions (form submissions, clicks) Clear conversion funnel from Click → Form → Lead Tip: If you don’t have a telesales team, use an auto chatbot to thank users after form submission and send them back to your offer page. This keeps leads warm and improves conversion without extra cost. 🎯 Finding the Right Target Audience I started broad: men and women aged 20–55 interested in online shopping, personal finance, or job searching. After 3–5 days of testing, I built Lookalike Audiences from converted leads. This approach — broad + lookalike — delivered the best balance between reach and quality. 🧩 Clean Creatives = Higher CTR + Safer Accounts In finance ads, creatives can easily trigger restrictions. Avoid using sensitive words like “quick loan,” “bad credit,” “borrow money fast.” Instead, use implicit visuals — happy faces, mobile phones, or approval imagery. In my campaign: Used bright, minimal backgrounds Positive emotions and real-life imagery Highlighted clear benefits (speed, approval time, convenience) ✅ CTR reached 3.2% — nearly double compared to older, riskier creatives. ✍️ Writing Ad Copy That Converts Keep it short, simple, and focused on what users actually care about: “Can I get approved?”, “How fast?”, “Any hidden requirements?” Sample high-performing copy: 💵 Get instant financial support in just a few minutes Apply online – no complex paperwork ✅ For users 22+ ✅ Special offers for new customers ✅ 24/7 assistance 👉 Click now to find your best option! This concise, transparent approach builds trust and ensures smooth ad approval. Landing Page Optimization – Where Conversion Happens Facebook drives traffic, but your landing page converts it. My page was simple: Only 3 form fields (Name, Phone, Email) Bold CTA button Clear structure focusing on 3 main benefits Pro tip from Dinos AM: If you’re promoting multiple offers, use a Showcase Page comparing all options. In my A/B test, CR increased by nearly 30% compared to single-offer pages. About Groups & Personal Profiles Organic posting in financial groups or personal profiles used to work, but now Facebook heavily restricts them. Spamming groups with loan links can result in bans or shadow restrictions. ✅ Safer alternatives: Build real finance communities with educational content and subtle links. Use review pages or finance blogs with compliant C2W ads. Never post things like “Urgent loan – inbox now” — these get flagged fast. Bot Remarketing – Smart & Low Cost After users submit a form, an automated bot (Messenger or Telegram) sends a follow-up: Reminder to complete registration New offers or promotions (e.g. “0% interest for 30 days”) Mini surveys for additional user data This increased my re-engagement rate by 20–25% while cutting remarketing costs significantly. Results After 3 Weeks CTR: 3.1–3.8% Landing Page CR: 18–21% CPL reduced by 27% No bans or warnings during 3+ weeks Total payout: ≈ $400 USD (100% verified leads, clean traffic) Why I Stick With Dinos Dinos is one of the few reliable affiliate platforms in Vietnam, especially for finance.

Torabingo posted a topic in Hosting & Domain Providers
I’m looking for a dedicated hosting provider optimized for low-latency Forex trading. Must-have features: SSD or NVMe storage, at least 64GB RAM, and strong DDoS protection. Will GTHost.com instant servers work fine for me? Any suggestions from people running similar setups?
