Build from sand only, below the high-tide line — the tide takes it back.

You pay$14

Where your $14 goes

Card processing and platform fees$0

A fair wage for real work, paid to the person who does it.

Secure checkout. Payment runs through Stripe; your deed is funded and handed to the engine the moment it confirms. The engine then sources a verified local person under a strict spend cap.

You are paying a real person a fair wage to do a real good deed. It is a service, not a donation, so it is not tax-deductible.

What we tell the person doing it

The doer can ask anything in the app and gets an instant answer from the deed itself. A few they ask most:

What photo proof do you need?: Send photo or video of the result. Rules: No people in your photos — photograph the place, items, and result only. If a bystander wanders into frame, reframe or blur. Photograph the finished sand art on the beach. Build from sand only, below the high-tide line — the tide takes it back.
How much do I get paid?: This deed pays $14 — the full listed amount, with nothing taken out of your payment. It's labor only, so you never buy anything or spend your own money. Payment releases from escrow once your proof passes review.
Do I need to keep people out of frame?: No identifiable people, ever. Photograph the place, the items, or the result. If someone is in frame, reframe or blur before you send it.
