The standard this serves
SDG 14, Life Below Water. Goal 14 defends the water everything drains into: the oceans, and the rivers and creeks behind ordinary neighborhoods that feed them. Most of what chokes a shoreline arrived as street litter, one wrapper at a time, so the defense works the same way, one wrapper at a time. Mastery looks like a stretch of bank you have quietly adopted: cleaned season after season, logged honestly, until the herons hunt there again. This packet is one of those cleanups, weighed and recorded so it counts. The ocean is downstream of everything. Start where you can reach the water.
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_1790223006747_trp6ihg","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
