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-2026-0913-VRTA2N3T Content hash 13144b4c8bbbfd649e919ea773e507b6164e4db273168e35415cb32fc5b6ecd6 Articles recorded that day 10 Attestation UID 0x73ee082688da54567d01b1f22436046f13656591449ce75624d7ae0330722f64 View on EAS Transaction 0xa31c0f039845fb24a569dd2e436934c516b0c7d290877bb44318f5d4757ec286 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 0xd21f41da2ed75bcc9634c39258db50ed935edc19c5dcb2bf450eac963b426f1c 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 0x30a82e99cef6706f8797b7d07dfeb2f65e56744a79287c327592883315e338ee 0xa5b35a004d75025ccc762630a62487ebda6adcc9ca381428cbe21851b81de5ab Step 2, combined with the value before it 0x3ee1154344afd5ca878daeb2a44f60a4a365c7ba6c4c0867a7a5b2b32806e8ab 0x6fa2d26a7c3adb0192369434bfd7bc5de3702a47810e7e9fa5f913a011fdecb5 This is the value for the whole day.
Value these steps arrive at 0x6fa2d26a7c3adb0192369434bfd7bc5de3702a47810e7e9fa5f913a011fdecb5 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 0x6fa2d26a7c3adb0192369434bfd7bc5de3702a47810e7e9fa5f913a011fdecb5 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-2026-0913-VRTA2N3T/canonical" | shasum -a 256Should print 13144b4c8bbbfd649e919ea773e507b6164e4db273168e35415cb32fc5b6ecd6
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-2026-0913-VRTA2N3T
CONTENT=13144b4c8bbbfd649e919ea773e507b6164e4db273168e35415cb32fc5b6ecd6
DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1)
printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256Should print d21f41da2ed75bcc9634c39258db50ed935edc19c5dcb2bf450eac963b426f1c
3. Combine step 1 The value you have goes first, then the published value.
printf '01%s%s' "d21f41da2ed75bcc9634c39258db50ed935edc19c5dcb2bf450eac963b426f1c" "30a82e99cef6706f8797b7d07dfeb2f65e56744a79287c327592883315e338ee" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256Should print a5b35a004d75025ccc762630a62487ebda6adcc9ca381428cbe21851b81de5ab
4. Combine step 2 The published value goes first, then the value you have.
printf '01%s%s' "3ee1154344afd5ca878daeb2a44f60a4a365c7ba6c4c0867a7a5b2b32806e8ab" "a5b35a004d75025ccc762630a62487ebda6adcc9ca381428cbe21851b81de5ab" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256Should print 6fa2d26a7c3adb0192369434bfd7bc5de3702a47810e7e9fa5f913a011fdecb5
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.
