Four commands. Two terminals. No login. No wallet. No trust in Protean Labs required.

1. Read the record from chain

2. Inspect via the indexer JSON API

curl -s https://www.protean.sh/ledger/api/v1/records/0xdcda8ebec2501afcd69041fd2269b07749e27c32d7b95f01776e473df05f4c57 | jq

3. Reproduce the canonical state digest from genesis

curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/proteanlabs1/ledger-mirror/main/scripts/index_ledger_from_genesis.py -o index.py
python3 index.py --rpc https://mainnet.base.org \

4. Confirm published indexer digest

curl -s https://www.protean.sh/ledger/api/v1/indexer/digest | jq '.digest, .record_count, .last_block'

Verification

What we can attest to from indexer state. Replay-artifact + content-digest verification you run yourself — see the verify page for copy-pasteable shell snippets and the public mirror for the canonical reproducibility script.

Historical Bootstrap Record

Artifact mirror was introduced after this record was registered. Chain identity, content digest, lineage, and indexer reproduction verification all remain available. Public artifact sha256 verification was not available at registration time; the mirror carries an honest reconstruction in artifacts/mainnet/ with documented limitations.
