Root record

SuccessBlock 11,574,188Gas 32,270

This transaction recorded a root for the whole corpus. With that root, any one of the 25,065 lines can be shown to have been part of that version using 15 hashes. The 5.87 MB of text never has to change hands.

Roots are appended, never overwritten. Each time the source is corrected a new root is recorded, and the older ones stay. Which one is current is decided by whoever reads the records in order.

What happened

The 1 records in the order the chain wrote them. The number on the left is the index within the block, the same number Etherscan shows.

    One root was recorded. The contract is open to anyone on purpose. Only when someone else records the same root can it be said that the publisher did not reconstruct it afterwards.

Verification needs this number because it fixes the shape of the tree. 54 is the per-volume tree, 25,065 the per-line tree.

Method
rfc6962-sha256/chapter-file-bytes

How leaves are formed and how the tree is built. A root whose method is unknown cannot be checked, so the two are recorded together.

Which state of the text it was computed from. It points at a git commit.

Read from the chain

None of these are claims. They are values the chain itself holds.
