How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 7 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
0x03b967524d01933c88901a755f94669e94b83ab5b674502a28675083c44b8317

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
    0xa2ba057a8c42780133beacced76e75881f219f151d50157b39f2dfd3f0982eef

  2. Step 2, combined with the value before it
    0xb6bbedcf5392a6c93eeb861d134575755aa24767dbaa5f68c31a0a4b496717d3

  3. Step 3, combined with the value before it

    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.

Worked out from this article

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.

The exact text is not available for this article right now. The command below still reaches it.

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-2026-0910-5NCUY2J7/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 706a31156ca87cd941e84f8d142b1be8eca2c5a840fdaed03c2109ebc2e3896b

  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-2026-0910-5NCUY2J7 CONTENT=706a31156ca87cd941e84f8d142b1be8eca2c5a840fdaed03c2109ebc2e3896b DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 03b967524d01933c88901a755f94669e94b83ab5b674502a28675083c44b8317

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "03b967524d01933c88901a755f94669e94b83ab5b674502a28675083c44b8317" "a2ba057a8c42780133beacced76e75881f219f151d50157b39f2dfd3f0982eef" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print facfea826e85751fb7165e01c0d0926d94cd991d236e1900c5aff4ba2574aea7

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "b6bbedcf5392a6c93eeb861d134575755aa24767dbaa5f68c31a0a4b496717d3" "facfea826e85751fb7165e01c0d0926d94cd991d236e1900c5aff4ba2574aea7" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 017a0ea40754398dd234718206ec2e41b1a8edbba60ed294acb0d81580cdbd00

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "97af53e90c4e942303167c11b3028a112931ba0b2216464cdd9d2eafcea2a2a1" "017a0ea40754398dd234718206ec2e41b1a8edbba60ed294acb0d81580cdbd00" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print b7d6c53003650ad4e6f8678e2531b950631a1d481cd3edde23566d77738d5048

  6. 6. 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.
