From their BLAKE3 paper (https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3-specs/blob/master/blak...) they give an example of verified streaming in 6.4.

Basically to verify a video file using serial hash functions you need to download the entire video file before you can perform the hashing. In BLAKE3 you can verify each chunk of the video as it is being streamed because the hash internally is just a Merkle Tree.

As far as I can tell the crate doesn't expose APIs needed to construct or verify the sibling/uncle hashes that would be used in partial verification.

Verified streaming is implemented by https://github.com/oconnor663/bao.

Just thinking of writing such code myself is enough to get nightmares.

Thanks for the link mauricio! That's very interesting and makes a ton of sense. Gonna have a lot of fun playing around with BLAKE3 for different things.
