All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Storm drains across east Tacoma carry street runoff straight toward First Creek, Swan Creek, and the Puyallup River, but most look like they lead to a treatment plant. People pour paint, oil, and soap into them without knowing. A curb stencil at each drain is a permanent one-sentence lesson.
Fund it for $160. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Confirm the marking route and stencil kit with the city's surface water program.
- Sweep the curb face beside each drain clean and dry.
- Position the stencil and apply the approved curb paint evenly.
- Log each marked drain's street corner on the route sheet.
- Photograph each finished stencil with the drain visible, GPS-tagged and dated.
What counts as done
- Photo of every stenciled drain
- Route sheet listing marked corners
- GPS coordinates and date
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Green stormwater infrastructure is the city's way of handling rain the way a meadow does: rain gardens, planted swales, and permeable pavement that let a storm soak in instead of surging down a pipe. The EPA's inspection standard keeps these systems honest, because a neglected rain garden quietly stops working while still looking like a garden. Mastery is the inspector's eye: reading inlets, overflow, plants, and soil in a single practiced pass. This packet is one such inspection, one basin checked and one record filed, which is precisely how a thousand basins stay alive.
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_1789707682449_09burdp","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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
