Cold shower / cold-water exposure protocol audit + progression — Minneapolis.

Screen for cardiovascular contraindications in Minneapolis, MN, then log the current cold-exposure pattern and build a conservative progression. Minneapolis carries a real, documented contrast-therapy culture, not an imported trend: the 612 Sauna Cooperative, founded by John Pederson in 2016 as America's first member-owned sauna co-op (over 150 members), grew from a backyard wood-fired sauna into 'the Forge,' the country's first community-owned mobile sauna, funded by a 2016 Kickstarter that raised nearly $34,000 from 233 backers. Cold plunges in the city's own lakes (Silver Lake, Lake Nokomis, Cedar Lake) have been part of the practice from the start, following the traditional Finnish pairing of sauna heat with a cold-water dip. This tile pairs directly with this library's own Minneapolis sauna def on the same city, the same way the practice is actually done, heat then cold, not one without the other, while keeping the RCT's real, narrower finding (less sickness absence, not fewer illness days) as the honest claim.

Fund it for $200. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like

A person checks a thermometer in the shower water and a timer for the cold finish, then logs method, temperature and duration, with a towel within reach.

Pay

$200 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

A contraindication screen + the current cold-exposure pattern logged for method, temperature, frequency + a conservative progression plan moving from short/warm toward long/cold + the claim framed as reduced sickness absence, never fewer illnesses

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

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

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_1788242532101_s5gfbp1","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.

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.
