-Merkle DAGs were developed as a solution to incorporate folders and files, addressing a key limitation of Classic Merkle Trees. However, this structure has its own challenge: to securely download a single file, you must download the hash of every other file inside the folder its stored in. This requirement can be slow and costly for users when dealing with folders that contain large amounts of files.

-The unique feature of Scionic Merkle DAG-Trees is their internal structure. Within each folder (parent leaf) across the tree, its list of files (children) is organized as a Classic Merkle tree rather than a plaintext list.

 ## Understanding Growth Patterns: Logarithmic vs Linear
 
-In the case of Scionic Merkle DAG-Trees, which incorporate Classic Merkle Trees within their structure, they exhibit logarithmic growth. This means that as the size of the input (the number of files in a folder) increases, the growth rate of the Classic Merkle Tree branches slow down. This makes Scionic Merkle DAG-Trees an efficient structure for managing large datasets, ***as the branches become exponentially smaller with the increasing number of files in the folder.***

-In stark contrast, the number of hashes required to validate a single folder in a Merkle DAG exhibits linear growth. If there are more children (files) in the folder, you must download the hashes to all of them to retrieve a single file. This constant requirement can lead to overly large merkle branches. The amount of hashes needed to validate a single file increases in direct proportion to the number of files in the folder, making it less efficient for large datasets, as it demands more computational work from users for each new file added to a folder in the DAG.

 ## Syncing Trees Across Relays by Requesting a Range of Leafs
 
-To further enhance the functionality of Scionic Merkle DAG-Trees and support efficient data retrieval, each leaf in the tree is labelled with a unique number. This method facilitates the [request for a range of Merkle leaves](https://www.hornetstorage.com/forest), much like what GraphSync attempts to accomplish, but without the complexity of using complex graph selectors and large request sizes.

-The total number of leaves is recorded at the root of the tree, and each folder also carries information about the total number of leaves it contains. By doing so, users can request a range of leaves from a given folder, simplifying data retrieval, and reducing the bandwidth overhead and computational workload required to access multiple files from the same folder.

 This approach not only maintains the structural advantages of Scionic Merkle DAG-Trees, such as logarithmic growth of branches and efficient file download and verification, but also provides enhanced support for range queries, contributing to their practicality in large-scale data management scenarios.
