All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Assess the bare shoreline condition at the MacArthur Park lake shoreline in Los Angeles. The lake's shoreline vegetation has been mowed to bare turf for decades, offering the water no filtration edge at all; a rapid condition assessment scores what's missing.
Offer to pay $320. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Bank observation only; never enter the 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
- GPS phone
- quadrat frame
- invasive-species ID reference
- boots
- insect protection
- camera
Steps
- 1. Navigate to the wetland edge; record GPS; stay on stable ground.
- 2. Photograph 3 quadrat stations.
- 3. At each station, estimate percent cover native vs invasive; identify the dominant invasive.
- 4. Note hydrology / water level and any disturbance.
- 5. Enter cover percentages, invasive ID, hydrology, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.
What counts as done
- Photo-documented shoreline transect
- Scored condition checklist
- Ranked restoration list
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Wetland Condition. Wetlands are the landscape's kidneys and nurseries at once: they filter the water, absorb the flood, and raise the young of half the creatures around them. The EPA's rapid assessment gives a trained visitor a way to grade one honestly: the plants present, the water's path, the soil, the wear at the edges. Mastery looks like walking a marsh and knowing, defensibly, how it is doing and what threatens it. This packet is one such visit, one wetland's condition recorded to the method. What is watched can be defended; unwatched wetlands quietly disappear.
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
