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
0x200ade89bcdb697a82c8bf5ea356354829a2e0358487a411e2f172f57a8e61df

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":"financeguy","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"text":"🚀 Robinhood is pushing trading into the future.","type":"text"}],"type":"paragraph"}…

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-2026-0930-37CEYD3K/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print b14bae890bc624c8f22b5e0135fc0a1b1fa1b1962baa020ca4d680877790e6d9

  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-2026-0930-37CEYD3K CONTENT=b14bae890bc624c8f22b5e0135fc0a1b1fa1b1962baa020ca4d680877790e6d9 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' "200ade89bcdb697a82c8bf5ea356354829a2e0358487a411e2f172f57a8e61df" "f25dfb3ba2277d89ff3965c75ce8536dad72d53629c257e123b01ae9e93a9b3c" | 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' "dde0bb39f28399964bcc75f67b9ebe8fdf72b21186bc5317dba26f2bb5f32ac5" "73c6ea2607673d910e22b64311210d80bd7c086445d953d743c5bff12401a3a0" | 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' "f5ca5212eb7b386f27b278faba727e8f416dfa75b2e3165fb1980386ef538f84" "2b68bd6b5bbfd613fb4b6e577cf7432b5e3b6532528a42e8753648dfca00420b" | 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' "787621a4178b6e49933122f88a9ce82eac89c191e91b57f0fa099d31def8f00b" "fb1af2902d2398d75ebcddae6fd629a2a64746c29c4a7449e07bad3292332261" | 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' "a572e1caf0ceea7eeefbfdc95285c283f2e0c69a76251d97d02813de8af7832b" "cf24b85b1c54001ae98242451fdf6ac7d16199d8241d31c4592832adbcb4f53c" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 20f71ac084da418fd1d5b2ebebba09656abbfd62201c9e167d4ca5a15ba514be

  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.
