How this article reaches the blockchain

It was combined with the other 12 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
0x8437494993b831f83164cd8e77ba10fdf37a855f4ef2c6c297bdf1f039698280

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 after 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":[{"text":"Not every day has to be sunny to be beautiful. Rainy days remind us to slow down,…

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-2026-1112-VI7Y5WDR/canonical" | shasum -a 256

    Should print da246526d6f46a570a2c2e98f12c913b8ac87af78e1e50f2b32b01a14b7795af

  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-2026-1112-VI7Y5WDR CONTENT=da246526d6f46a570a2c2e98f12c913b8ac87af78e1e50f2b32b01a14b7795af DIGEST=$(printf '%s' "$STAMP" | shasum -a 256 | cut -d' ' -f1) printf '00%s%s' "$DIGEST" "$CONTENT" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 8437494993b831f83164cd8e77ba10fdf37a855f4ef2c6c297bdf1f039698280

  3. 3. Combine step 1

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

    printf '01%s%s' "8437494993b831f83164cd8e77ba10fdf37a855f4ef2c6c297bdf1f039698280" "5cbcf26fcd0ec68142d92f3aedaff99b516f8cdc2003f12f76f57d3ed5caa278" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print ce3e00aeba0be9b0a4db6b4bda9b69dee2bdea0153f55a74a9a5d116ebc5b38e

  4. 4. Combine step 2

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

    printf '01%s%s' "5a9f275b5241850591f7714181a8f46cf307c7f71b6d4ec461f9df0ba00ac05a" "ce3e00aeba0be9b0a4db6b4bda9b69dee2bdea0153f55a74a9a5d116ebc5b38e" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 23d34b4880ea6a20e4495adb4aaa72757b5ad77f721c096cf4f72183e6c8c0c0

  5. 5. Combine step 3

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

    printf '01%s%s' "23d34b4880ea6a20e4495adb4aaa72757b5ad77f721c096cf4f72183e6c8c0c0" "c2a787206d7012a68e4bc12fcf3831969330a0a4898345bc0884862a535d7e55" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print ff35541912e2df2feec01871825d1d7f08f12c52f251394d82803cd3c7ed73aa

  6. 6. Combine step 4

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

    printf '01%s%s' "c686ce1ad37287ba022494162d00d61e0f5cbbe1a6acba7f779824cf91156f85" "ff35541912e2df2feec01871825d1d7f08f12c52f251394d82803cd3c7ed73aa" | xxd -r -p | shasum -a 256

    Should print 173f6fd378092e865af1d499866e40bbda58a173260dc2ae347f6889884c4c7d

  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.
