Recorded on Base Sepolia using canonicalization v1 and record format v1.
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.
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. 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-2026-0824-2FNJUI7E/canonical" | shasum -a 256
Should print 81a31bf7dd05ce28a43ab77d9b79ceae7c3f5258f25ae54b183f45f1c4a27bbc
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.
Should print 7e5c511e90490f0219d3332388967eaf9c486190ee686000be4e9034cab6ae55
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.
