How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 14 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
0x2c07dd85816ea237dc5e2d0a5895c44abc96e4e2eab335d1677b478cad370586

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

    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":"glowguide_daily","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"text":"Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that helps attract and hold …

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-NYU4Q33O/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 47e712599f167ccd4437250bfc212b06fdcb4a6629c788eb7bc7fbc1520eef54

  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-NYU4Q33O CONTENT=47e712599f167ccd4437250bfc212b06fdcb4a6629c788eb7bc7fbc1520eef54 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 2c07dd85816ea237dc5e2d0a5895c44abc96e4e2eab335d1677b478cad370586

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "2c07dd85816ea237dc5e2d0a5895c44abc96e4e2eab335d1677b478cad370586" "743fe9c6e208fc05916a47d08ef3e3a289cb5d2405c64a6b9299ab2cb054dbda" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 4d86f40f64e763ce33afbed8023276f2dba591a0ced6affb2af31249138f1075

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "4d86f40f64e763ce33afbed8023276f2dba591a0ced6affb2af31249138f1075" "af64878e528f7e5927679343e7a07d7600e93ed2e45966b4ef92c923e7c68e45" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print eb8210bfc9028909f9510e6a54d2e243c07f3044742c9698d32d3203b0d43cb0

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "eb8210bfc9028909f9510e6a54d2e243c07f3044742c9698d32d3203b0d43cb0" "6b17fa00dc5a05b786727d7f1507bb5691613449fcc4c0d64cd128eaa302a7af" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 2cd72d4bd66df07a63b5db20323f0e99df25a5f1df376f001cb13ac09996869a

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "69b963a72ff774db15166fbf612b296d701fe32a57f181d9635950a5c9b83208" "2cd72d4bd66df07a63b5db20323f0e99df25a5f1df376f001cb13ac09996869a" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 66fc8ec21a31705c4be9de3e933ca15d28787982a4d8b647c0bd15af650a3d3e

  7. 7. 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.
