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
0x44551948fbdc068e1a968634404f7d02cd2d10e9880ac6164d471e6bfa1ee932

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 after it
    0x79d3530b1503c76fe94d90cb7c8450317719541da690b3989c7861ef8b53cbd0

  2. Step 2, combined with the value after it

  3. Step 3, combined with the value before it
    0xa572e1caf0ceea7eeefbfdc95285c283f2e0c69a76251d97d02813de8af7832b

    This is the value for the whole day.

Value these steps arrive at

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":"harvesthealth","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"text":"This is such a hidden gem! 🍂✨","type":"text"}],"type":"paragraph"},{"content":[{"…

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-2026-1001-23RAYWBJ/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 9019ddaaf89583671bf1b9a0734828019d4d0560ef9222000c02baa3025646f2

  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-2026-1001-23RAYWBJ CONTENT=9019ddaaf89583671bf1b9a0734828019d4d0560ef9222000c02baa3025646f2 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 44551948fbdc068e1a968634404f7d02cd2d10e9880ac6164d471e6bfa1ee932

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "44551948fbdc068e1a968634404f7d02cd2d10e9880ac6164d471e6bfa1ee932" "79d3530b1503c76fe94d90cb7c8450317719541da690b3989c7861ef8b53cbd0" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 1f5caf42f54f67ffb6d31c50ae8e39e300e1de3e55231fbcba0cf46f60f91102

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "1f5caf42f54f67ffb6d31c50ae8e39e300e1de3e55231fbcba0cf46f60f91102" "17ef894d3e82d695bc441cc75ef328fb91c78d68943e1be83e92307b104de7e8" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print cf24b85b1c54001ae98242451fdf6ac7d16199d8241d31c4592832adbcb4f53c

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "a572e1caf0ceea7eeefbfdc95285c283f2e0c69a76251d97d02813de8af7832b" "cf24b85b1c54001ae98242451fdf6ac7d16199d8241d31c4592832adbcb4f53c" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 20f71ac084da418fd1d5b2ebebba09656abbfd62201c9e167d4ca5a15ba514be

  6. 6. 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.
