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
0xc5882ad0423267641f8505e7b5990c70f4711eaa4a9fe65db7a87ab262a962d5

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.

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":"PositiveVibez","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"marks":[{"attrs":{"color":"green"},"type":"textColor"},{"attrs":{"font":"comic"},"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-2026-1005-H5EXRCVO/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 01e892ac779a61a6ccfa211744861f1521bfe86dd7d68f55c5344245c6e0be41

  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-2026-1005-H5EXRCVO CONTENT=01e892ac779a61a6ccfa211744861f1521bfe86dd7d68f55c5344245c6e0be41 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print c5882ad0423267641f8505e7b5990c70f4711eaa4a9fe65db7a87ab262a962d5

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "1b2892af0fbe634b74b9e105ca1c4187a143e25630e97648deca6a77163ca9a2" "c5882ad0423267641f8505e7b5990c70f4711eaa4a9fe65db7a87ab262a962d5" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 958fb61371562cffcf1a432c5a1c6b809c362ac4e285484c64fa776955d65559

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "f4f88bdc2aab4d40563bd1242bb8de88ec935bc37e68efbe069823951b3fb994" "958fb61371562cffcf1a432c5a1c6b809c362ac4e285484c64fa776955d65559" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print db370880b6954311cdd1a54ca92c8fa431829e1c1779fa227f25a99d896add5d

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "2984af38d8e55376ecb9d6cd12b5db21fe73adb96d4d8edff5127cbeec9513d1" "db370880b6954311cdd1a54ca92c8fa431829e1c1779fa227f25a99d896add5d" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print a9f799966a483b5e226937bad04c452defeec34e6edcd62f9a25542551c7c5b8

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "a9f799966a483b5e226937bad04c452defeec34e6edcd62f9a25542551c7c5b8" "f6e9bee092ca40c02a96ef8ee26ca39530effb9351665feb3ba92e44033f0037" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 38256faf2512c46a9e2a74487a2b8a28fd1c0c136819a67fdf612f505b6e96b9

  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.
