Sending raw blobs over a network is straightforward as they are contiguous blocks of binary data without internal structure, simply transmitted as a byte stream. In contrast, Merkle trees require serialization because their hierarchical structure and node relationships must be preserved and understood by the receiver, which cannot be achieved with a raw byte stream alone.

This is why Blossom cannot support Merkle Trees. Although, it’s fine — Merkle Trees are only necessary for large files anyway. We kept both standards alive. 😁
