The circuit computes the two trees using the same inputs, and then we ensure that the elements of the trees match the inbox later in the [state transitioner](./../l1-smart-contracts/index.md#overview).
It proves parity of the leaves in the two trees.

The logic of the circuits is quite simple - build both a SHA256 and a snark-friendly tree from the same inputs.
For optimization purposes, it can be useful to have the layers take more than 2 inputs to increase the task of every layer.
If each just take 2 inputs, the overhead of recursing through the layers might be higher than the actual work done.
