How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 10 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
0xbc2668915ee873a92a749d8c34579591ea878dfc1e259832f3b5b3668528775a

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
    0xb794faf84fe657500305c2d9f8516c9e169355aea479bfab80737fb69006645d

  2. Step 2, combined with the value after it
    0x14160742b5a7f61721d25efa3678b12b240e5a7bd0dcd033e298c2ec27d0e485

    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":"simple_recipes_daily","position":1,"role":"solo","weight":1.0000}],"body":{"content":[{"content":[{"text":"Craving those warm, buttery mall pretzels? You can make a homemade version…

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-2026-1109-VJ5ELHXQ/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print 66c841435e0aab8acedbf535f76b872b413d6f515a8d152021e7e3e4341c5145

  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-2026-1109-VJ5ELHXQ CONTENT=66c841435e0aab8acedbf535f76b872b413d6f515a8d152021e7e3e4341c5145 DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print bc2668915ee873a92a749d8c34579591ea878dfc1e259832f3b5b3668528775a

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "b794faf84fe657500305c2d9f8516c9e169355aea479bfab80737fb69006645d" "bc2668915ee873a92a749d8c34579591ea878dfc1e259832f3b5b3668528775a" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print f651492a1f3e63ebeaaf7a0971f6db2a6b244bd1fb3d91ff109ed2182009a1e0

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "f651492a1f3e63ebeaaf7a0971f6db2a6b244bd1fb3d91ff109ed2182009a1e0" "14160742b5a7f61721d25efa3678b12b240e5a7bd0dcd033e298c2ec27d0e485" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print b6334a5710a80ce87654b441954392a02a6db8e6285ec2e0940523dc4e2706b7

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "14f012a848990fef43cd059829a9ef205a63dd41056e616243de85731920b95a" "b6334a5710a80ce87654b441954392a02a6db8e6285ec2e0940523dc4e2706b7" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 70987eecfb16f1f9f9813c6631161ba08d7e875d3130d37348455e40168acc5c

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "70987eecfb16f1f9f9813c6631161ba08d7e875d3130d37348455e40168acc5c" "473293bd3500511361f702c615e98e7af95380898270ffd641393ca7717455c4" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print bc74bba2ca689c89aa18eaf69b3f6b47ddf4677a4a5cb56239b9935d47efc72d

  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.
