How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 18 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
0x02ea53d58f142f4e33dadd43f05d5f5ee840d8509726453d92a8341b09a0b1f4

Built from this article's content hash and its stamp ID, as sha256(0x00 || sha256(utf8(stampId)) || contentHash).

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":"Healthy, glowing skin starts with daily sun protection. UV exposure can contrib…

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-2026-0922-IYHGLWU6/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 86c0dc5965c7138f9f50b93f30b31312d82e20446091d7f4b7892339a7b9f046

  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-2026-0922-IYHGLWU6 CONTENT=86c0dc5965c7138f9f50b93f30b31312d82e20446091d7f4b7892339a7b9f046 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "02ea53d58f142f4e33dadd43f05d5f5ee840d8509726453d92a8341b09a0b1f4" "a5382e69b1b651fe356806ddfdb4443ddea6147f7adac76375bb7ee5eaf025af" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "abde4fed031ae0e8d776b12d9aa03e16dfdaef9a929f35d96db23b5a8464a746" "bccfad193fdadcc3e8a8b9408c1cbfbc1b864064766efaf63d90a116f6e662cf" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

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

    printf '01%s%s' "3abd91dc306fc0d1f7e199ac8951f32762f59828e865018111f4f58c336a7964" "e2c8f5bb8f5c48db8b076ee3c4a9734ffb5d0cd5c260b3db702d80d746e3de65" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

  7. 7. Combine step 5

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

    printf '01%s%s' "e63d808641c9100111b6b6585a9ed386e34c5f36ce79c50f14b6aaf0618b12fe" "7a88f62292afb2658d20a5063a2b18d13343fa8e26ae33cb4daa3b0a0c688944" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

  8. 8. 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.
