How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 19 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

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":"brainboostcorner","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"attrs":{"alt":"brain productivity morning vs. evening","src":"https://media.vitahash.org/articles…

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-2026-0925-EYXLEV65/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 996ba2206840be3c03394351a3121d525729c892b413e43a9e31fc04eae29d57

  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-2026-0925-EYXLEV65 CONTENT=996ba2206840be3c03394351a3121d525729c892b413e43a9e31fc04eae29d57 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 published value goes first, then the value you have.

    printf '01%s%s' "519d71da97840a157efbca5e27dcfdb2ab46119f61aea9f23ed744ce0c0f9fc6" "71f7f61bd6a9e6c3d4839c526f82bd62f21dd333d068d17a0c9cf06c48170868" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "6d01e708b54bd6c4efcde20be52ea000e06cbf90dc83696997e7f7d14fcabdca" "1265139a8659b04fea439c45b13247c4b1458a1d2659e9cbb8615679b2066a94" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "1c5d1cde4ed9dea8d73f35b4cc2ee74b79eb30e07b51291d2e3481404139ab29" "05967956cb96f55c72efd784ed2ba4c9b76cbc3de44da55badc6e61268baf8ba" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 97c1335bc96ed40e4db026f00b899cdeec1bc932550d0e2bfbb6dc3f3ccb2bfb

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "97c1335bc96ed40e4db026f00b899cdeec1bc932550d0e2bfbb6dc3f3ccb2bfb" "eef2fc0c052d8690543265b12fc46b2f16349bfff03b4fc8e4347b463c876bba" | 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' "c1d5d231b268f46906a4da83c556378223bf6096ded3827d3cd87ed49e6fd45c" "338087d57076385362f8b946b1aeb173dce23ad0a0d0e2a793f84da82df6b81f" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 8b2476a9102c6f8fddeaea8b440d390005d5d4f4ebd31a5e0f185dd330f209ab

  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.
