All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Survey the LA River bank buffer at Rattlesnake Park in Los Angeles, CA and log its width, gaps and erosion. This stretch of the channel bank has a thin, gap-ridden buffer of native vegetation with visible bank erosion and no logged condition report before a restoration plan.

Offer to pay $320. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.
Proof: photo per segment + GPS waypoints + buffer-width estimate + debris/erosion notes

Safety, read before you claim

No special training is needed. Stay on the bank top or bike path, never enter the channel or wade, and watch for unstable or undercut banks; the channel bed is off-limits without a permit.

The full safety list for this job:

Hazards here: slick or undercut banks, soft mud, moving water and sun. Wear closed-toe boots with grip, bring water and go with a partner, or tell someone your plan and your return time. Stop work and back away from the edge if the bank is slick or collapsing, the flow rises or a storm is forecast. Never step into the water. No special training is needed.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

Walk the bank top or bike path at the place this job's title names and record a GPS waypoint where the surveyed stretch starts and ends.
Divide the stretch into segments and record a GPS waypoint at each segment.
At each segment photograph the river bank from the bank top, framing the native vegetation, any bare or riprap bank and any visible erosion.
Estimate the buffer width at each segment by pacing or sighting from the bank top, noting how much is native vegetation and how much is bare or riprap bank.
Note the gaps in the buffer, the signs of bank erosion and any debris at each segment.
Write debris and erosion notes that name the follow-on cleanup and planting job each segment needs.
Enter the photos, waypoints, buffer-width estimates and notes in the proof record, then sign.

What counts as done

Photo of each surveyed river-bank segment
GPS waypoint per segment
Buffer-width estimate (native vegetation vs bare/riprap bank)
Debris/erosion notes naming the follow-on cleanup and planting job

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
