How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 10 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
0x092f635e44384aaeef81fa8af2814f34d17333086f281be2d3ea8daae03087df

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

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.

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-2026-0915-OB24D7XB/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 4e3f42d56723bf8c1b8176af820ff49be06068c700f26e559a6b1ae997c13c6d

  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-2026-0915-OB24D7XB CONTENT=4e3f42d56723bf8c1b8176af820ff49be06068c700f26e559a6b1ae997c13c6d DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 092f635e44384aaeef81fa8af2814f34d17333086f281be2d3ea8daae03087df

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "092f635e44384aaeef81fa8af2814f34d17333086f281be2d3ea8daae03087df" "a04bb51fcfae5ab671357cb7cf47f74e849ba5bec7ca8463b29f7b7266ca7828" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 776c07063562977b52dfbec459ad0f5aa79eb14d8097a3504465610b358fc6fd

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "776c07063562977b52dfbec459ad0f5aa79eb14d8097a3504465610b358fc6fd" "f3e3ec1db8f4f11dd2bb58fd2282723c909804dadb1ec2aa98c05e9e49f455c9" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 6efcc863bc662c4b58525e19251707bab65f11b8d1956b2e6c17ecdb9a72af62

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "3c99f78fa4c4a6d38479d0b6ba497ecf06cd2fbe3366fec921466bb1e632f2ae" "6efcc863bc662c4b58525e19251707bab65f11b8d1956b2e6c17ecdb9a72af62" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 45b6a0f20f993e761d8aead43f3695dbd2bccd21f8b01cb82137ebd8b84b7f6c

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "45b6a0f20f993e761d8aead43f3695dbd2bccd21f8b01cb82137ebd8b84b7f6c" "2833408ec18f99b6743e4b1d92b1b4bbc4d9bfa009fe72217f3ffe85845091d8" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 7ada4849ddba18c43f15ae62dd893ec944c3f03ed2ad4968a988bf0d90f0be50

  7. 7. 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.
