What the work involves

When a Buffalo thaw follows a storm, melt water from feet of snow has nowhere to go because the storm inlets are sealed under plowed ice banks. The result is street flooding, then refreeze into rink-ice at every corner. Opening a channel to each inlet before the melt saves the block twice.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof
Before/after photo per opened inlet plus a count

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

  1. Locate every storm inlet on the assigned block from the route map.
  2. Chip and shovel a clear channel through the plow bank to each inlet grate.
  3. Clear the grate surface of ice and packed snow until openings are visible.
  4. Flag any grate damaged or fully frozen for the city service line.
  5. Photograph each opened inlet with GPS, date, and time.

What counts as done

  • Before photo of each iced inlet
  • After photo of the opened channel and exposed grate
  • Count of inlets opened with GPS and date

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The money and the proof

What is promised, and what is not.

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1784407600007_yj8a270","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
