A certificate that proves itself.

Two documents you can buy: a wallet's record of what it actually did, and a place's standing under The Vealth Standard. Both are sealed, anchored, and readable by any AI in one command, and neither exists without the work behind it.

The two certificates

Prices load live from the door itself: if they show a dash, the door did not answer and we will not guess at a price for you.

Work record certificate — One wallet's settled work: every job's Base transaction, accepted proofs, banked earned credit, and a reputation snapshot, sealed as canonical JSON and queued with the free priority-proof registry. A wallet with zero settled work and zero banked credit is refused with a 409 before payment, never charged: an empty certificate would be a forgery, not a cheap one.
Place standing certificate — A place's current Standing under The Vealth Standard, per condition, exactly as the live reading reports it, stated plainly and never dressed up. Issuable at any standing, including Unread: an honest baseline is a legitimate thing to buy, and Unread is a beginning, not a failure.

Prices are configuration, not code, so they can change without a release: this page always shows what the door is charging right now, read from /certificate.

Verify one without paying, and without trusting us

Retrieval and verification are free forever, by law on this site. A certificate a verifier has to pay to read is worth nothing to the person who bought it.

The three commands 
# read any issued certificate, free and keyless
curl -s https://vealth.net/certificate/<certificate_id>

# recompute the seal yourself, with no code of ours
printf '%s' "<canonical json>" | shasum -a 256

# check the priority-proof anchor
curl -s "https://vealth.net/anchor/verify?sha256=<hash>"

# and the underlying settlements, on a chain we do not control
# each settled packet carries its own Base transaction hash

The seal covers the document minus its own seal, anchor and payment fields, because a hash cannot cover itself. The canonical form and the exact recompute command travel inside every certificate, so a stranger can rebuild the bytes without asking us anything.

More, if you want it

The comparison, the payment steps, the honest order, and what we do not claim.

Three ways this is not the usual certificate

We are not being rude about the incumbents: these are structural differences, each checkable on this page.

Theirs is a picture. Ours is a proof. a badge image and a verification page that only works if you trust the issuer's database, and that no machine can read without a human in the loop. every claim inside carries the public endpoint or the onchain transaction that settles it, so an AI verifies the whole document in one command, with no account, no key, and no permission from us. The command is below, and it really runs.
Theirs stays true forever. Ours lapses, and that is the feature. printed once and true in perpetuity, whether or not anything it describes is still true. A building certified a decade ago still shows the certificate. a place standing certificate says in its own body that standing is re-measured and LAPSES when the work stops. It carries its as-of date and links the live reading that outranks it: a document that admits it ages is worth more than one that quietly stops being true.
Theirs costs prestige money. Ours costs the price of proof. priced on the scarcity of the badge and what the market will bear for the letters after a name. priced on what it costs to seal the document, anchor its hash, and keep serving it. The seal and the anchor stand without us; the served copy is us. Every fact inside is already public and free to read before you pay a cent: payment buys the artifact, never the achievement.
How paying works

These are x402 doors: HTTP payment, settled from your own wallet, no account and no API key. The signature is the credential.

Ask the door what it costsPOST with no payment header and you get a standard 402 carrying the price, the recipient, and the network. Nothing is charged, and you can stop here.
Check whether it would even be issuedAsk credential_quote on vealth.net/mcp, or read the door card at /certificate. It tells you exactly what the document would contain right now and whether issuance would be refused, for free, before any money moves.
Sign and retrySign an EIP-3009 USDC authorization for the quoted amount on Base and retry with the payload in the X-PAYMENT header. Overpayment is accepted and never refused: the settled price is the signal.
Keep the id, and keep the documentYou get the whole document back, plus the URL it is served from. Keep your own copy: the seal and its anchored hash are checkable on their own, and the id is the only way to reach it, since nothing lists certificates and holding one is not something a stranger can discover.

Card payment already exists on this site for funding work, and it is coming to these doors. Today these two are wallet-paid.

Course, then work, then certificate

A certificate is the last step, not the first: it records work that already happened, so the honest order is to learn the standard, do a packet, and let the record make itself.

Learn the standardThe Ground Rungs course, $5: every ground rung of The Vealth Standard taught to craft standard, including exactly what to record so the work counts on the public board.
Do a packetClaim work free with your own wallet signature. The packet names its definition of done before you begin.
Then buy the artifact, if you want itBy then the record exists whether or not you ever buy a certificate. That is the point: the certificate is a convenience, and the record is the thing.
What these certificates do not prove

Said here, and said again inside every document we issue, so no surface can quietly drop it.

  • Not skill or competence. Nothing here is an examination, and no exam was sat.
  • Not identity. A wallet is not a person, and nobody verified who controls it. Payment proves a wallet spent money, never that the payer is the subject.
  • Not ecological outcome. Settlement records that work was accepted and paid for, never that a measured ecological result followed.
  • Not that the work was done well, only that a reviewer accepted the proof submitted for it.

A place standing certificate is a dated snapshot and can only go out of date. The live standing reading is always the authority, and every certificate we issue links it.
