Pay for one piece of work to get done.

What funding does

1. It makes the wage payable

   Your payment goes to the wallet that pays workers. The posted wage becomes payable to whoever claims this packet and whose proof is approved at review.

2. It does not pay anyone yet

   No worker is paid on the day you fund. Payment happens after proof is submitted and approved, and it is recorded as a receipt anyone can read.

3. It does not reserve it for you

   Funding never changes who may claim the work, what they are paid, or what proof they owe. Anyone may still take it.

4. It buys nothing else

   It is not a carbon retirement, not a credit, not a token, and not a claim on us. If you want a retirement certificate, that is a different thing on a different page.

5. Funding is its own act

   A vote is a free signed preference. A pledge is free signed backing intent: no money moves, and a fully pledged packet is still not funded. Funding is the real payment that backs the wage. Three ledgers, three meanings; this page is the third.

If nobody claims it, or the proof is rejected

This is the honest part. Read it before you pay, whichever door you use.

Vote for work, or buy it. If it is not getting done and you bought it, you can have it back. The hard moment is when two people have both committed and one stops. So the rule is stated in advance rather than improvised afterwards: unclaimed means your money is yours, claimed means the work is theirs to finish, and a claim that lapses puts the packet back on the board. Where that rule turns out to be wrong in practice, it gets rewritten in public, here.

Four things can happen to your money. Each one has its answer, or says plainly that it has none yet:

1. Nobody claims it, or it expires

   Answered You get your money back, in full, whenever you ask, as long as nobody has claimed it. No reason required and no window to miss. If a claim lapses, the packet is open again and so is your right to a return. The one moment you cannot pull it back is while somebody is actually doing the job: a person went to the place on the strength of your funding, and money that can vanish mid-work makes every claim worthless.

   How a return happens today: by hand, not by a button. Email [email protected] and it goes back through the rail you paid on. There is no self-serve refund control yet, and we would rather say that than imply one exists.

2. Proof is submitted and rejected

   Not written The wage is not paid. What happens to your money in that case is not written yet.

3. Who decides whether it passed

   Us, today Declared proof rules, self-verifying packets and published receipts exist so the decision can point at evidence, but the rule itself is not written down as something you could appeal to, and we would also be the party holding your money.

4. Disputes and chargebacks

   Not written A card dispute can arrive months later, possibly after a worker has already been paid for approved proof. That policy is not written yet either.

We would rather say this out loud. Both doors below carry the same four questions, and [email protected] answers for any of them.

The checklist we hold the money rails to

Six promises, each wearing its true state. Kept beside the code it governs, reviewed with every change to the money rails. Engineering and policy, not legal advice.

1. 1 · Refund and expiry

   Written 2026-08-06 While a packet is neither claimed nor settled, capital returns in full on request. Still to build: a self-serve control, so it is not an email.

2. 2 · Where the money sits

   Built into the rail Worker payouts go processor to worker. Money owed to someone else is never parked with us, because custody is the shape that carries money transmission, escrow and reporting duties.

3. 3 · A dispute policy

   Not written Including the timing hazard: proof can be approved and a worker paid before a chargeback window has closed.

4. 4 · Adjudication that is not just us

   Partly built Declared proof rules and self-verifying packets point the decision at evidence. The rule you could appeal to is not written yet.

5. 5 · Worker payout tax posture

   Not yet At whatever volume triggers it.

6. 6 · Attorney review

   Not yet Of everything above, before any live card money moves.

Until 3 and 6 exist, a payment here funds the wage with those questions open. That is the plain state of it.

Two ways to pay

Same packet, same worker, same proof rules, same receipt. Only the money ingress differs. Both doors show their real state below, read live from this host.

The boundary

This page does not dispatch labor, choose a worker, or certify an outcome. Work completion, payment, and a retirement certificate are three different things and this page only touches the second. Read Terms and Receipts before you decide.
