All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Check the bugs and health of the stream near the community garden in South Park, Los Angeles, CA. It has never been checked before. Do a simple, honest check now, and come back on schedule so the people who use this place can see if it's improving. Name the exact site and confirm it with its host before you claim: this listing gives only the area.
Offer to pay $312. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
No special training is needed; wear waders or boots and use the family-level ID key. Never wade alone in high flow, and use wading judgment on slick rocks and moving water; wear a PFD in moving water.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- kick net or D-frame net
- white sorting tray
- forceps
- sample jars + ethanol
- family-level ID key
- GPS phone
- waders/boots
- camera
Steps
- 1. Navigate to a riffle habitat; record GPS; photograph the reach.
- 2. Disturb the substrate upstream of the net for a fixed time/area (kick sample) per RBP.
- 3. Transfer the catch to the sorting tray; pick and sort organisms.
- 4. Identify to family; tally counts; record EPT (Ephemeroptera/Plecoptera/Trichoptera) taxa.
- 5. Compute the biotic index score from the tally.
- 6. Note substrate and habitat condition.
- 7. Enter tally, EPT count, index score, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- Photo of sampled riffle habitat
- GPS waypoint
- Macroinvertebrate taxa tally (family level)
- EPT count
- Biotic index score
- Substrate/habitat note
- Site record: the exact site's name and street address, and the contact who agreed to the work
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.
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
