All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Photograph and map an invasive plant find near Athens using the EDDMapS protocol. Athens is the home of the University of Georgia Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health, the program that built and still runs the exact tool this standard's report is submitted through, so a report from here reaches the system at its own source.
Fund it for $125. 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.
Bring
- The EDDMapS website or mobile app (iOS/Android), or a regional EDDMapS-affiliated app (e.g. Great Lakes Early Detection Network)
- A smartphone with GPS/location services enabled for accurate coordinates
- A plant-ID reference (regional invasive-species field guide or extension ID key) for the honesty check
- A notebook to log uncertain finds for later expert confirmation
Steps
- 1. Photograph the plant: a whole-plant/patch shot, a close-up of a diagnostic feature (leaf, flower, fruit, bark), and a wide shot showing the surrounding habitat.
- 2. Record the precise location using the device's GPS (via the EDDMapS app) or a manually logged coordinate — never an approximate address.
- 3. Estimate and record the patch size/extent (single plant, small patch, or a rough acreage) as honestly as the observer can judge it.
- 4. State an honest ID-confidence level: certain (matches all diagnostic features), likely (matches most features), or uncertain (flag for expert review) — never round up to 'certain' to complete the record.
- 5. Submit the report through EDDMapS (web or app) with the photos, location, and confidence level attached.
- 6. For a genuinely uncertain ID, also route the photos to a state or regional invasive-species verifier (many EDDMapS regional networks and extension offices offer ID help) before treating the report as confirmed.
- 7. If removal is being considered, assess scope: hand-pulling a small, isolated patch (roots included where the species allows) is within scope; anything larger, resprouting, or requiring cutting/mechanical equipment or ANY herbicide routes to a professional invasive-species contractor or the local Cooperative Weed Management Area/extension office.
What counts as done
- Photo set recorded: whole plant/patch, diagnostic close-up, and surrounding-habitat context
- Precise GPS location and an honest patch-size estimate recorded
- ID-confidence level stated honestly (certain / likely / uncertain); uncertain finds routed to a state/regional verifier or extension office
- Report submitted through EDDMapS (or its regional-network app) with a recorded submission date
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
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_1790271021456_oen6tav","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
