Closed therealdannzor closed 3 years ago

Background We need to make sure that we have a way to track any changes to account balances amongst distributed peers. An example could be a Merkle root that represents the latest operations to a database. The project needs to expose a simple API to demonstrate such.

Acceptance criteria

[x] LevelDB implementation to put and retrieve KVs
[ ] Connect accounts to db
[ ] Add latest db change to merkle tree and expose root hash
[ ] Unit test coverage of account balance functionality
