Recorded on Base using canonicalization v2 and record format v1.
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.
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. 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-2026-1111-UG5CCZIP/canonical" | shasum -a 256
Should print 5bb8a8c5849e6576b8e2627db15cb4d376c1eacaeca1b884dffe29d73d1c0da5
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.
Should print 35ded4f6e28244e45970a3984b9900865960b4129277e98b1165cec8d30d7ea6
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.
