How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 12 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
0x1b34a22e041d68fe847dc1fed5f616cb1e7884cf592e6773dc3aa7460609c126

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 before 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.

{"abstract":null,"agreement":false,"authors":[{"identity":"glowguide_daily","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"text":"Antioxidants can help protect your skin from oxidative stress caused by everyda…

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-2026-0916-7DUIYOFF/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 6f6c45604e1167b206f09352e1e1cc8be9d1f4a5a4b6f1c9d829d3da62ce90c8

  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-2026-0916-7DUIYOFF CONTENT=6f6c45604e1167b206f09352e1e1cc8be9d1f4a5a4b6f1c9d829d3da62ce90c8 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 1b34a22e041d68fe847dc1fed5f616cb1e7884cf592e6773dc3aa7460609c126

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "78ab510811cdc75d4ee0c12ff694b2d32ba1ac960b7292c63ba8ab1e4744716d" "1b34a22e041d68fe847dc1fed5f616cb1e7884cf592e6773dc3aa7460609c126" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 9a96b57e4c98bd03fdd781bc90d9fc9f5dae589f184f76b340febd3dea9ee453

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "9a96b57e4c98bd03fdd781bc90d9fc9f5dae589f184f76b340febd3dea9ee453" "074694eb6f4fbad6905e118e605c690d3e3b4fbea04cd632d09629c8ae6007e9" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print f612cc59b603b3a44071947e49f33f4163aff83b1907fbbe17e5ccd425e3bc49

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "f612cc59b603b3a44071947e49f33f4163aff83b1907fbbe17e5ccd425e3bc49" "9360338929dedbb755b0137f2a649b65925e9a026ac11b48ace3bd09ccb54a6c" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print f079b4aa3e8888febddac6d9c23b9a16ae9e54868fbc4964eabfcd6436ae4c94

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "f079b4aa3e8888febddac6d9c23b9a16ae9e54868fbc4964eabfcd6436ae4c94" "40674564e68436514f46820464afde1a925674aeae1efdd0e824500181a7c576" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 6ef23690eec11fc122bc0db55911f59a66b93a26e4d8ba1b56f0d9067846e996

  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.
