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
0x4444a9c3cf8186db66e2137675793df295a239d0872f1b00da1cb8f7ae434bfa

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":"Drkrittanawong","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"text":"A nationwide recall has been reported for certain compounded tirzepatide injecti…

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-2026-1020-QMWGTB26/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print cc10cab7dcaf71116a507444839d826a608dc6dd8694ccba92eaa714b440e260

  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-2026-1020-QMWGTB26 CONTENT=cc10cab7dcaf71116a507444839d826a608dc6dd8694ccba92eaa714b440e260 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 4444a9c3cf8186db66e2137675793df295a239d0872f1b00da1cb8f7ae434bfa

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "4640b6ce65d9becd642e5550ec528baa87caab2f6fd75c1a2eb763ed98893366" "4444a9c3cf8186db66e2137675793df295a239d0872f1b00da1cb8f7ae434bfa" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 2892ca370656ccb44182fd250f3d2ec8960f8e46ac7e33d2cac9782167da52e9

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "2892ca370656ccb44182fd250f3d2ec8960f8e46ac7e33d2cac9782167da52e9" "9038f38a061966c13ea74810c1141fa73b9defd8edbd8547f23520647db4455e" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 2b08533c4494657626ccff5afa9bfbf5599edbf859ddcc53a4c7265025e02e05

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "2b08533c4494657626ccff5afa9bfbf5599edbf859ddcc53a4c7265025e02e05" "314d0d1e4452c1976718b8fe8559153b9a6fc9982b75eb3bbd7520f2aecf3db4" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print b2f73bf44e5192607c06210438c4fa1315c46c1daf818f9ef4da8afd94550031

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "3a358e17a68391bcf565bd61d36701a1116f99db25af510c143423c88a16c1e8" "b2f73bf44e5192607c06210438c4fa1315c46c1daf818f9ef4da8afd94550031" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 109188c0f9ad19ad1583a0ded4c3846a0c340392774326fc93cb283681e809ec

  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.
