All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Plant willow stakes along Rapid Creek's eroding greenway banks. Stretches of Rapid Creek's banks through town are bare and cutting back, sending sediment downstream and eating the greenway edge. Live willow stakes driven into the moist bank root into a living wall, the same low-tech fix creeks have used forever.
Offer to pay $360. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Start only after the city greenway contact confirms the approved bank stretch and stake source; this job asks for no licence. Work only city-approved stretches from stable bank ground and do not wade the creek; use hand tools, gloves and closed shoes; call 811 before any digging.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Coordinate with the city greenway contact to confirm the approved bank stretch and stake source.
- Cut live willow stakes to length and keep them moist until planting.
- Drive stakes into the moist bank at the marked spacing, buds up, two-thirds below ground.
- Flag the planted stretch and water in if dry.
- Photograph the planted bank from both directions, GPS-tagged and dated.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the bare bank
- After photos from both directions
- Stake count and spacing note
- GPS coordinates and date
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Watershed Health. A watershed is everything the land pours into a stream, and the stream keeps the record. The EPA's bioassessment method reads that record through the small creatures living in the gravel: mayflies and caddisflies mean clean water, only worms and midges mean trouble. Mastery looks like a person who can wade one riffle with a net and tell you how the whole valley is doing. That skill is built sample by sample. This packet is one of them: one site, one careful count, one entry in the long record of a stream.
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, 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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
