Offer to pay a packet in ANY token (step 1 of 2)
prepare_token_offerBefore the work: offer to pay this packet in a token of your group's choosing, on Base (chainId 8453) or Robinhood Chain (4663). FREE — a signed offer, no fee, no gas, NO money moves and none is held. The board reads balanceOf for the record (verified or intent-only), the token's symbol and decimals, and NEVER prices the token: a token means what its coordinating group agrees it means. amount is in the token's smallest unit (atomic). One offer per wallet per packet; offering again replaces it. Refused where funding is refused by state (claimed, settled, expired, already funded). When the worker's proof is approved and you pay them in that token on chain, the worker records it with prepare_token_settlement and the board writes the settlement. Returns MESSAGE_TO_SIGN and BODY_JSON; sign with the backer wallet's personal_sign, then call submit_token_offer within 5 minutes.
