Are Merkle trees still the best way to handle onchain allowlist? Anything simpler or a service to manage them?

That's what I used for /warpcash. Found it pretty straightforward

Onchain startups. /rebase, /basedjobs and more

I’ve used them once before and it was ok, but for something dynamic it can be tricky because your client/server and the contract state have to stay synced, which was a pain I don’t look forward to dealing with again 😅 lol

Yea, it doesn't seem optimal for dynamic trees. 

If you didn't want to update the contract state every time the merkle tree updates, you could have users supply a root each time they also supply a proof, and verify in the contract that the root is signed by (one of) a trusted set of addresses?

Ooo that’s an interesting approach, might look into that
