All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Seal a neighbor's home against the Pershing Square revitalization build the DIY-safe way, with written permission. For an occupant on Hill Street between 5th and 6th Streets, 5th Street at the park edge, and Olive Street along the first phase who asks, weatherstrip the doors, add a door sweep, gasket or rope caulk at the windows that stay shut, foam or caulk at the visible penetrations, and a fresh filter in the air handler if the occupant has one. Prove the change with a smoke pencil draft check at the same points before and after. No window that must open for egress is sealed shut.
Offer to pay $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Inside a home only with written permission and the occupant present, using DIY-safe measures only: no electrical, attic, crawlspace or combustion work, and no egress sealed. Old paint, insulation, mold or a gas smell is a STOP: route to the owner's licensed contractor.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- GPS phone with a camera and a sound-level app
- the city's construction hours and noise ordinance open, and its service request line
- for sealing: weatherstripping, a door sweep, rope caulk or window gasket, paintable caulk, low-expansion foam, a utility knife, a caulk gun, a replacement air filter of the home's size
- a smoke pencil or incense stick for the draft check
- the occupant's written permission form
- a hashing tool for the anchor step
Steps
- 1. With the occupant's permission at their door or window (outside, never inside for the log), take sound-level readings at the property line during work hours, recording the time, the app or meter and the level, and set each beside the city's permitted construction hours. Photograph dust on sills and glass.
- 2. Write down the occupant's own account in their words and ask whether it may be published; a withheld account is marked withheld. File the readings and the account on the city's service line and record the reference number.
- 3. For a sealing run, with written permission and the occupant present, walk the face of the home that looks at the build and mark every draft point with the smoke pencil: door edges, window sashes that stay shut, visible penetrations, the sill line. Record the result per point.
- 4. Seal the DIY-safe way only: weatherstripping on the doors, a door sweep, rope caulk or gasket on windows that stay shut, paintable caulk or low-expansion foam at penetrations, and a fresh filter if the home has an air handler. Leave every egress window and door operable. Nothing electrical, no attic, no crawlspace, no combustion appliance.
- 5. Repeat the smoke pencil check at the same points, photograph each point before and after, confirm every egress opens, and publish the record with the permission cited and its content hash anchored via vealth.net/anchor.
What counts as done
- The occupant's written permission and the home's public-facing address or its GPS point, with the face sealed named
- Every point sealed listed with the material used, photographed before and after
- The smoke pencil draft check at the same points before and after, with the result per point
- A line confirming every egress window and door still opens, and the filter change if one was made
- Any stop condition (old paint, suspect insulation, mold, a gas smell) named and routed to the owner's licensed contractor and the city, with the work halted there
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, 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.
Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: permit-required, regulated. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.
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
