CHAPTER

Compression in Solana: Efficiency and Innovation

The chapter explores how compression in Solana enables developers to efficiently store state by hashing multiple account states into a smaller string called the state root. It discusses the technical aspects of using binary merkle trees for hashing and emphasizes the distinction between ledger space and account states. The conversation also delves into the advantages of Merkle-ized state, the role of validators, and the potential introduction of new pricing models for storage to address the state growth problem.
