This article has not changed since Vitahash recorded it on the Base blockchain. Everything below can be checked without taking our word for any of it.
Stamp ID STAMP-2026-0911-Z2ECDUI2 Content hash 804a92f46ec7331968713d5cc39073498770a25ba581c312bf660081b4eab53c Articles recorded that day 10 Attestation UID 0x0777f781c3114e7a308c1c456b362e473380e41b1d8c0ae13988ee4838cec2b6 View on EAS Transaction 0xf471f3a41bd42a59739e5da6862008bc1640a79c67497d308d570ce498765a5d View on Basescan Recorded on Base using canonicalization v1 and record format v1.
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 0xd6931debefc858c2e48fc2bc41e0a26034dea256cc2d92ce3975bfa9c031e7b4 Built from this article's content hash and its stamp ID, as sha256(0x00 || sha256(utf8(stampId)) || contentHash).
Step 1, combined with the value after it 0xa1904f60a83985e76570295e09454efdb5ba18b11d46fcf9dbc72ec190550ae4 0xe67227e12f7b6796a5da62c5b0b3e1dc6b226bfa012d15ca6736918c4e489e6f Step 2, combined with the value before it 0x61737b0f81bcd5ebe9984dd11b10d5bd6f9a93a9863770b7b855708a0e955bdb 0xc125bbd94e0c801e41e7822aa710f571e006056ce8ffba8003062a53720878a8 This is the value for the whole day.
Value these steps arrive at 0xc125bbd94e0c801e41e7822aa710f571e006056ce8ffba8003062a53720878a8 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 0xc125bbd94e0c801e41e7822aa710f571e006056ce8ffba8003062a53720878a8 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.
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-2026-0911-Z2ECDUI2/canonical" | shasum -a 256Should print 804a92f46ec7331968713d5cc39073498770a25ba581c312bf660081b4eab53c
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-2026-0911-Z2ECDUI2
CONTENT=804a92f46ec7331968713d5cc39073498770a25ba581c312bf660081b4eab53c
DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1)
printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256Should print d6931debefc858c2e48fc2bc41e0a26034dea256cc2d92ce3975bfa9c031e7b4
3. Combine step 1 The value you have goes first, then the published value.
printf '01%s%s' "d6931debefc858c2e48fc2bc41e0a26034dea256cc2d92ce3975bfa9c031e7b4" "a1904f60a83985e76570295e09454efdb5ba18b11d46fcf9dbc72ec190550ae4" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256Should print e67227e12f7b6796a5da62c5b0b3e1dc6b226bfa012d15ca6736918c4e489e6f
4. Combine step 2 The published value goes first, then the value you have.
printf '01%s%s' "61737b0f81bcd5ebe9984dd11b10d5bd6f9a93a9863770b7b855708a0e955bdb" "e67227e12f7b6796a5da62c5b0b3e1dc6b226bfa012d15ca6736918c4e489e6f" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256Should print c125bbd94e0c801e41e7822aa710f571e006056ce8ffba8003062a53720878a8
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.
