Community-garden lead + heavy-metal screen: East St. Louis, IL.

Fund it for $320. Proof lands onchain when it's done.

$320 proposed

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.

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.

Bring

  • trowel or auger
  • clean bucket + mixing tool
  • XRF analyzer or metals test kit
  • PID for volatiles (if petroleum in scope)
  • sample bags + labels
  • N95 dust mask
  • gloves + eye protection
  • GPS phone
  • camera

Steps

  1. 1. Navigate to the parcel; record GPS; sketch a >=5-point sampling grid.
  2. 2. Photograph each sampling point and any visible staining/fill/slag.
  3. 3. Collect 0-15 cm cores from >=5 points; combine and mix in the clean bucket; subsample.
  4. 4. Run XRF/test kit on the composite; record each metal in ppm.
  5. 5. If petroleum is in scope, log PID readings and any odor/staining.
  6. 6. Bag/label any lab subsample; complete chain-of-custody.
  7. 7. Enter all analytes with units, depth, GPS, photos, and site sketch into the proof record; sign.

What counts as done

  • Photos of 5 sampling points
  • GPS waypoint of plot
  • Composite Pb reading (ppm)
  • Sampling depth note (0-15cm)
  • Bed location sketch

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_1788159627261_jogowsy","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.
