All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Lay out a pocket park with a path, planting bed and anchored bench at the Market St corridor in Inglewood, CA. The corridor has a fenced, weed-choked vacant lot with no public use, no shade, no seating, nowhere for the block's foot traffic to pause, and this turns dead space into a real public amenity.
Offer to pay $780. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Work with hand tools and small equipment only, by anyone able to use them; this job asks for no licence. Never dig a post hole before calling 811, and never begin before the property owner or city confirms lot ownership and access.
The full safety list for this job:
- Hazards here: hand-tool cuts, splinters, lifting lumber and soil, flying chips and sun. Wear gloves, eye protection and closed-toe boots, lift with your legs or with a second person, and bring water. Stop work and call 811 before any digging, and do not dig until the utility marks are on the ground. Stop if a tool slips, a frame wobbles or a bystander steps into your work space. Some experience of this kind of work helps; this job asks for no license or certificate.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- gloves + eye protection
- drill/driver + bits
- saw
- untreated or naturally durable lumber
- landscape fabric (optional)
- soil + compost
- level + tape measure
- camera + phone with GPS
Steps
- 1. Photograph the site BEFORE, with GPS and timestamp.
- 2. Call 811 (or local locate) before any ground disturbance.
- 3. Confirm siting: at least 3m from a septic field, not over a utility easement, and with the required sun exposure.
- 4. Level the ground; a bed built out of level drains to one corner and fails unevenly.
- 5. Build the frame from untreated or naturally durable lumber, never CCA-treated or railway sleepers for food crops.
- 6. Line the base only if blocking a known contaminant; otherwise leave open for drainage and worms.
- 7. Fill with a soil-to-compost blend, watering in layers so it settles without later collapse.
- 8. Photograph AFTER from the same position and record dimensions and fill volume.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the bare, weed-choked vacant lot
- Pathway and planting-bed layout log matched to the lot's dimensions
- Bench anchor-torque check confirming a securely fastened, level installation
- After photo of the completed pocket park with clear pedestrian access
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Living Building Challenge, Place Petal. The Place Petal asks a building to belong to its ground: grow food where it stands, shelter the small wild lives that were there first, and join the neighborhood instead of paving over it. Mastery looks like a lot where vegetable beds share the sun with native shrubs, feeding people and birds from the same soil. Nobody arrives at that whole in one season. You arrive by planting one bed, tending one strip of ground, learning one street's habits of light and water. This packet is one of those honest first plantings.
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
