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
0x80dfbc280a58ae2ff8228db02111c39c8f3393e59610a421ba3fca550d057d9c

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":"simple_recipes_daily","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"text":"When you want something warm and sweet without baking an entire dessert!",…

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-2026-0926-2E3RL577/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 0e45f8088f9ccd74fccabe9d0d638a15dd5ad8ff22d8d389047da62332a1e02b

  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-2026-0926-2E3RL577 CONTENT=0e45f8088f9ccd74fccabe9d0d638a15dd5ad8ff22d8d389047da62332a1e02b 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' "80dfbc280a58ae2ff8228db02111c39c8f3393e59610a421ba3fca550d057d9c" "20fe4bd9073037b87d5b1251d3ff4baa5018c9bd90ececaaa759109b8ce9c09d" | 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' "5ef6bf12cb774f9f2f37cd9b70f34480cff2a0e383b3ec151d3aec556b2056cc" "e5bcb28a6dcfe44459e735af409f808e06efb09dec273b5b8247eaa33d5b0889" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "ebd5f0b49052bdd25c9b9040bc3c4364ff8e88a0335eab5ad00a9cb21e02ef12" "e8c7f1ddc485415d6d0cca96d115b2b54c9fab4a1c461ec11ec35cc2de299db1" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "d06cf380e63c7e122ed0df0fc07ba07ded91a9bc4130807f0831afb110cf774d" "57711de9e370bc645f82e3badf941f656fd3ba3e7114bf721e696aad647fff65" | 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' "43d0bf3bed65c6d72323e4f8ee304cbe8a76398161018db8037b86aac993199b" "d5acd05b3170caa30612ab1b1206ba3a18114f6e7bec9204be2832f1245f31f0" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print d5bae37d71e637433d461768eb3a88245c40982e2443fd3dd56fe575a55dd300

  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.
