Verify
Independent verification needs only public tools: sha256sum (or any SHA-256 utility) and the opentimestamps-client CLI. Both files
below come from this site; no other host or credential is required.
1. Download both files
curl -O https://www.hexetiq.com/articles/how-agent-loops-work/source.md curl -O https://www.hexetiq.com/articles/how-agent-loops-work/proof/attestation.ots -o 2026-05-10-how-agent-loops-work.md.otsThe .ots client expects the article and attestation to share a basename, so the second command renames the downloaded file accordingly.
2. Hash the article
sha256sum 2026-05-10-how-agent-loops-work.md # expected: cd4cf73145954754dcac3eeecdd85d97b3ee04d546768df85feaa550be620ea33. Verify the attestation
ots verify 2026-05-10-how-agent-loops-work.md.otsThe proof anchors to Bitcoin block 948829. Verification works offline against a Bitcoin node or block-header dataset; no calendar contact needed.
Verification needs no cooperation from Hexetiq. Any byte change invalidates the digest.
