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
0x1b5e6e4c527d4b52f8d149a3639e85abf02d49bc5add2027bceab5ef29cd443b

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":"simple_recipes_daily","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"text":"Make a spooky snack in just 10 minutes!","type":"text"}],"type":"paragraph…

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-2026-1010-SYUV275M/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print c0dc5749f4ea6734e55feb33a7b6a631922c84d40fce1a4b64dcdeb4441ad363

  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-2026-1010-SYUV275M CONTENT=c0dc5749f4ea6734e55feb33a7b6a631922c84d40fce1a4b64dcdeb4441ad363 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 1b5e6e4c527d4b52f8d149a3639e85abf02d49bc5add2027bceab5ef29cd443b

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "241f3ae8f400223890e9836cb76f097eed5ee59d2995d67de89ed4eae6848f43" "1b5e6e4c527d4b52f8d149a3639e85abf02d49bc5add2027bceab5ef29cd443b" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print f8c38748326418db665f53e2be04e7ca5d6b19a8d11c3c0b2c65667b071fe608

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "f8c38748326418db665f53e2be04e7ca5d6b19a8d11c3c0b2c65667b071fe608" "c49c24a7b72856baf08fce72f56cccb02de56e29b6cbaf848a27d95643651afd" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print b393c447ccb3f707e81d3e404b724241afe1db1541be2ba7b03a3a0be6b1a5e3

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "d71669495b15132484309582fa3f7bf6626dabc1ed049fc5158fa7ef5366a475" "b393c447ccb3f707e81d3e404b724241afe1db1541be2ba7b03a3a0be6b1a5e3" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 8086bb1bd2adda0b1c3a80e77552522391f792a41c4ef9e68468bb92da74d1a8

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "8086bb1bd2adda0b1c3a80e77552522391f792a41c4ef9e68468bb92da74d1a8" "5bf8781649ca53a6f507b6207273c32bf93eaefedab539b5ef5b50ccd4c743ef" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 815430e2a00179e7b99823b21562548a6ed5521009efbd974ba470d1b529c64b

  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.
