How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 13 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
0x5d81c7a49d18bda273de7c4c633f009a5684b7dd302e96b3763332f889c5bfc0

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":"HealthyByHabit","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"marks":[{"attrs":{"color":"blue"},"type":"textColor"},{"attrs":{"font":"mono"},"type":"…

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-2026-1004-PHO2WOCK/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 61c14c1505943d416096b6ab69ff1f67bb2b724c2138d0165d6a3047cd986f11

  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-2026-1004-PHO2WOCK CONTENT=61c14c1505943d416096b6ab69ff1f67bb2b724c2138d0165d6a3047cd986f11 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 5d81c7a49d18bda273de7c4c633f009a5684b7dd302e96b3763332f889c5bfc0

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "617fff0d83ab69935f6c1b7adf1740a750837c6105fe03afe654bc6327c7f094" "5d81c7a49d18bda273de7c4c633f009a5684b7dd302e96b3763332f889c5bfc0" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print f0359591ded893c55a69d92f7169f91889989662589b3049ff43f3b3b73780b1

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "a5f1f182d1b1bbfd237375b38febd9a148d1da1c210a3b3514c275990dd8560a" "f0359591ded893c55a69d92f7169f91889989662589b3049ff43f3b3b73780b1" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print ae88aafe666bca1ec42c2b36612221a4979596811c1d34b76123a88c61312a5d

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "ef0e364c3bec81306843282338faec7e03a988ff384e24c70f628dcb319db925" "ae88aafe666bca1ec42c2b36612221a4979596811c1d34b76123a88c61312a5d" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 56dbe5829c1f5917b25960243052a74b072be7aa148c2a0bfd101dd1b802bb58

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "56dbe5829c1f5917b25960243052a74b072be7aa148c2a0bfd101dd1b802bb58" "99676acb01c95df27a810313f8102234fb9152a93174cbaa168803a9a889e5bb" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 11a46c50d96ebbd795fc8028cb1a011b18f508b883d672b3d8d2842b3c699ef1

  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.
