How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 3 articles published that day, one step at a time, until the whole day became a single value. That one value is what Vitahash wrote to the blockchain. Change a single character of this article and the starting value below changes, so none of the steps would land on the recorded one.

Starting value for this article
0xd0bd22db32528253585474c2f8a3e0d1bec0e00f7a4be0315c89e0f65e18d11e

Built from this article's content hash and its stamp ID, as sha256(0x00 || sha256(utf8(stampId)) || contentHash).

  1. Step 1, combined with the value before it
    0x29cfaff1f73a85764a17cc3fe3230e2422e2800573025bba4ae97b378e24ddfd

  2. Step 2, combined with the value before it
    0xe3918c6a41a076dfc59c175e1edd079942f6f8c7958eaff3df2e3285a0b29495
    0xc79dbdee7f478ee5dd71018a7a7012ef1399687ffdb0a78818e0dcf91ed50760

    This is the value for the whole day.

Value these steps arrive at

What the blockchain says

Two values, reached two different ways. The one above was worked out from this article. The one below was read back from the record on Base.

Read it yourself on EAS

They are the same value, so this article was published that day with exactly the text above.

Check it yourself

Every number on this page came from Vitahash. Copy the article's exact text below and check it against the hash above, using any SHA-256 tool.

{"abstract":null,"authors":[{"identity":"krittanawongmd","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"text":"Medicine is advancing at an extraordinary pace. Every day, physicians, especially cardiologists, f…

Copy this text, paste it into any SHA-256 tool, and compare the result with the hash shown above. If the two match, this is exactly what Vitahash recorded.

For a technical reader: the terminal route
  1. 1. Hash the article yourself

    This downloads the exact text Vitahash hashed, in the exact form it hashed it, and hashes it again on your machine. Nothing Vitahash wrote runs here.

    curl -s "https://api.vitahash.org/api/verify/STAMP-2026-0820-XNMFJVYH/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 7e6256abc25cd447bd748f7120c279e922bbda73a8c7cb031ad248d1a0de1c81

  2. 2. Build this article's starting value

    The stamp ID is folded in with the hash, so one article's record can never stand in for another's.

    STAMP=STAMP-2026-0820-XNMFJVYH CONTENT=7e6256abc25cd447bd748f7120c279e922bbda73a8c7cb031ad248d1a0de1c81 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print d0bd22db32528253585474c2f8a3e0d1bec0e00f7a4be0315c89e0f65e18d11e

  3. 3. Combine step 1

    The published value goes first, then the value you have.

    printf '01%s%s' "29cfaff1f73a85764a17cc3fe3230e2422e2800573025bba4ae97b378e24ddfd" "d0bd22db32528253585474c2f8a3e0d1bec0e00f7a4be0315c89e0f65e18d11e" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 7afc65c6eaada19091e52847da54e5349552bcbf2714ba7d7a1a0714b331573d

  4. 4. Combine step 2

    The published value goes first, then the value you have.

    printf '01%s%s' "e3918c6a41a076dfc59c175e1edd079942f6f8c7958eaff3df2e3285a0b29495" "7afc65c6eaada19091e52847da54e5349552bcbf2714ba7d7a1a0714b331573d" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print c79dbdee7f478ee5dd71018a7a7012ef1399687ffdb0a78818e0dcf91ed50760

  5. 5. Compare with the blockchain

    The last value above is what the whole day came to. Read the record on Base and check its merkleRoot field is the same. Vitahash is not involved in this step at all.
