How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 9 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
0xd6c4557c949627aad532fee69b59e340853aa7b2b3d787e0d2acc92c2a71c539

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 after it
    0x7b7fda5df3825f82020523113b76982e10ae90e34cb20208997858d61ce0ebea
    0x8680bcd982597baa59b5474438998fb2c932f4e7c4dc44c0962bfa4b522c7829
  2. Step 2, combined with the value before it
    0xa21c8ba55f0fc6e57b545c6de25652a6b6edb54b52b930f491c0ed5edde1df08
    0xd18600dbfb6bcb059d5c725341c007e642eceb0a8393d6b788c0fb7609a936ac

    This is the value for the whole day.

Value these steps arrive at
0xd18600dbfb6bcb059d5c725341c007e642eceb0a8393d6b788c0fb7609a936ac

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":"A useful update for anyone caring for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD):","type":"text…

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-2026-0826-TSUVXEM4/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 73e83ee2a733ca14ca6d1baecd57a3e2877851d6c4ace9402d72d9c96758ef65

  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-2026-0826-TSUVXEM4 CONTENT=73e83ee2a733ca14ca6d1baecd57a3e2877851d6c4ace9402d72d9c96758ef65 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print d6c4557c949627aad532fee69b59e340853aa7b2b3d787e0d2acc92c2a71c539

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "d6c4557c949627aad532fee69b59e340853aa7b2b3d787e0d2acc92c2a71c539" "7b7fda5df3825f82020523113b76982e10ae90e34cb20208997858d61ce0ebea" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 8680bcd982597baa59b5474438998fb2c932f4e7c4dc44c0962bfa4b522c7829

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "a21c8ba55f0fc6e57b545c6de25652a6b6edb54b52b930f491c0ed5edde1df08" "8680bcd982597baa59b5474438998fb2c932f4e7c4dc44c0962bfa4b522c7829" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print d18600dbfb6bcb059d5c725341c007e642eceb0a8393d6b788c0fb7609a936ac

  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.
