How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 15 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
0x0de5bec0cb95d0ada48faf624b99d5d3173adfc636a405710ec9b9936199cdb2

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 before it

    This is the value for the whole day.

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":"ThePetTales","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"text":"A Starbucks Puppuccino is basically a small cup of whipped cream, and while most he…

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-2026-1002-LMZN6L4M/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print ea0876d99d8ee076c031a7a49de0f8a2f136bc216c720d372bc294b4be55b259

  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-2026-1002-LMZN6L4M CONTENT=ea0876d99d8ee076c031a7a49de0f8a2f136bc216c720d372bc294b4be55b259 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 0de5bec0cb95d0ada48faf624b99d5d3173adfc636a405710ec9b9936199cdb2

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "950184ca7da45e8afbbab9049254416ba048af074d596162c3483acf3a5204c6" "0de5bec0cb95d0ada48faf624b99d5d3173adfc636a405710ec9b9936199cdb2" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 1ef4290ce8135e6e90fa8c124cef3be8fd716bac235c06c902f08f1714912b32

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "1ef4290ce8135e6e90fa8c124cef3be8fd716bac235c06c902f08f1714912b32" "dbe13f232036c60d12c2646aa7f807b453e1777c8d0fd4875b2274394de89a56" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print a623326af28275fbc366a5a999fd3d7d2ac6bf6e6ce081b1cbde0bf225b72f95

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "a623326af28275fbc366a5a999fd3d7d2ac6bf6e6ce081b1cbde0bf225b72f95" "abf33f43100f1cad23cfecd3424bfebb9dbf02e7935a092e38f02e66963c4e2b" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 0a8735948a3473ac9a9a57e04d8fadf11d680d37b43511e41e0f3a293772c19d

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "17f2f01650272ea450367707dd019f7a18228797c30fcd563c069675dcd2d3ab" "0a8735948a3473ac9a9a57e04d8fadf11d680d37b43511e41e0f3a293772c19d" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print ff8c2ed92267ef3ed3a91f1bd05eb91ed004c664072f546dd5a646157bdd70ec

  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.
