 ### Listing Event Types

 To list all event types, call the `list_event_types` function. The function returns a stream from which you can retrieve one event type at a time:
 
 ```rust
-let result := client.list_event_types().await;
+let result = client.list_event_types().await;
 match result {
   Ok(event_types) => // ...
   Err(err) => // ...
 }

+### Listing a Specific Event Type
 
 To list a specific event type, call the `read_event_type` function. The function returns the detailed event type, which includes the schema:
 
 ```rust
 let event_type_name = "io.eventsourcingdb.library.book-acquired";
-let result := client.read_event_type(event_type_name).await;
+let result = client.read_event_type(event_type_name).await;
 match result {
   Ok(event_type) => // ...
   Err(err) => // ...
 }
 ```
 
+### Verifying an Event's Hash
+
+To verify the integrity of an event, call the `verify_hash` function on the event instance. This recomputes the event's hash locally and compares it to the hash stored in the event. If the hashes differ, the function returns an error:
+
+```rust
+let result = event.verify_hash();
+match result {
+  Ok(()) => // ...
+  Err(err) => // ...
+}
+```
+
+*Note that this only verifies the hash. If you also want to verify the signature, you can skip this step and call `verify_signature` directly, which performs a hash verification internally.*

 ### Using Testcontainers
 
 Call the `Container::start_default()` function, get a client, and run your test code:
