Document a hardened ditch bottom.

The bottom of a roadside drainage ditch along the I-45 frontage road's public right of way near an I-45 frontage road ditch-bottom stand, public right of way, site 2 is packed hard from repeated grader-blade maintenance passes, so low flows run off the surface rather than soaking in along the channel; no photo record exists yet of how compacted this stretch of ditch bottom has become.

Offer to pay $85. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like

At the I-45 frontage road public right of way, a worker in hi-vis presses a probe against the packed ditch-bottom surface to compare its hardness with looser, vegetated ground nearby, and photographs the comparison.

A description of this kind of work, not a record that it happened here.

Where

the I-45 frontage road public right of way, general corridor near Fairfield, Freestone County, TX 75840 (never the interstate mainlanes). Open the map

Pay

$85 proposed

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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

document only stand off photo log plus compaction resistance comparison plus vegetation cover note plus GPS plus ranked follow on note

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

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

This work never enters, crosses, or approaches any fenced, posted, gated, or otherwise access-controlled land at any skill level; every site here is the public road right of way, public building grounds, or a consenting resident's own home, and it never crosses onto private ranch, farm, or reclaimed land. This work never approaches any impoundment, pond, settling basin, highwall, pit edge, or steep spoil face, features that this batch does not describe, locate, or reference anywhere; no water sample is ever collected and no water is ever touched at any skill level. No def in this batch digs, bores, probes, or excavates below the ground surface at any skill level; buried material, old workings, and utilities beneath this right of way are unknown, so every doing rung here is surface treatment only, hand tools, working the top few inches of ground or the ditch's existing prism, never a trench, pit, or excavation. No def in this batch records or publishes a precise coordinate of any pit, impoundment, or highwall; none is approached or referenced by this work, and every location recorded here is the general public right of way corridor itself. This work documents and treats the ground condition of the public right of way itself, exactly as it can be seen and worked from public ground; it makes no claim about the identity, ownership, operational status, or reclamation history of this or any other parcel, and does not assert that any specific land was ever surface mined. Roadside work means traffic: hi-vis is worn at all times, no work happens in an active traffic lane, this work uses the widest, best-sight-line section of right of way available, and it steps well clear of the traveled way whenever a vehicle approaches. This work is confined to the parallel frontage road's public right of way and never approaches the I-45 interstate mainlanes, their shoulder, or the interstate fence line. Texas summer heat on open road shoulder and ditch terrain is severe with thin shade; work in the cooler morning or evening hours when possible, carry more water than you think you need, wear sun protection and light colored breathable clothing, and take frequent shade breaks. Rattlesnakes, fire ants, and ticks are present in roadside grass and brush; watch foot and hand placement, and give any snake a wide path. Thorny vegetation is common; wear gloves and eye protection. No organism is handled or collected, no wild seed is ever collected (a separate rung of this library's work owns that lane), no plant is removed from the site, and no listed species is approached; any mulch used in this batch is store bought straw, never material gathered from the site. Freestone County's public roads carry regular traffic and are not deep backcountry, but tell someone your planned route and return time before you start, carry more water than you think you need, and do not work alone at an isolated stretch of right of way far from town.

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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.

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.
