All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Preserve a 5665-block kitchen's seasonal surplus instead of losing it. Seasonal gluts and trim that a block kitchen cannot use this week get binned; the Green Star's preservation ethos turns that surplus into next month's pantry. Pickling, fermenting and drying the surplus is food saved rather than lost, and craft the kitchen keeps.
Offer to pay $70. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Tested recipes only: water-bath canning for high-acid foods only, never low-acid without pressure canning; label every batch with contents and date; work under the kitchen's food-safety rules.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Walk the kitchen's surplus and trim with the chef and pick what preserves well this week (high-acid pickles, ferments, dried herbs and produce).
- Preserve by a tested method — water-bath canning for high-acid items only, lacto-fermentation, or dehydrating — labelling each batch with contents and date.
- Store the finished preserves correctly and record the shelf life and intended menu use of each batch.
- Photograph the surplus before and the labelled finished preserves after, and log the weight saved from the bin.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the surplus and trim
- Photos of the labelled finished preserves (contents, date)
- Weight-saved log and the tested method used for each batch
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Michelin Craft, Preservation and Fermentation. Preservation is cooking's long memory: canning, pickling, fermenting, and drying, the crafts that carry summer safely into winter. Fine kitchens have brought them roaring back, and done right they follow tested rules from the USDA and the university extension offices, because a sealed jar is a promise about safety. Mastery looks like a pantry wall of dated jars, every one processed exactly to spec. You earn that wall one batch at a time. This packet is one batch: follow the tested recipe, mind the times and temperatures, label it honestly.
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
