Your wallet has a tree.
Every Solana address points at one real tree in NOAA's tree-ring archive. Its rings, one per year, draw your slice.
Every ring is a year.
Cut a tree and unroll its rings and you get a timeline: the pith is its oldest year, the bark its newest. A wet, warm year makes a wide ring. A drought, a frost or a volcanic winter makes a thin one.
Scientists have measured the rings of thousands of trees this way, across every continent with forests, and matched them ring by ring into records that reach back more than 4,000 years. Each record is a site's chronology: cores from living and dead trees at one place, matched ring by ring into one sequence. They are kept in the International Tree-Ring Data Bank at NOAA, and they are public.
RING draws your slice from those measurements. Nothing in it is invented: the widths are the record's, and so are the years.
What it actually does.
Your address is hashed. The hash picks one row of a pinned index of 2,824 tree-ring records. We read that record's ring widths from NOAA and draw them, ring by ring, as your slice. At launch your first-buy signature joins the hash, so nobody can pick their tree.

Six addresses, six trees.
These example addresses are random keys, not anyone's wallet. Each lands on a real record. Open one to watch it grow.
The holder forest.
Every saved tree stands where it grew. Together they remember years: for each of the last 2,000, how many holders' trees were alive to lay down its ring.

Saved trees
Every saved tree gets the next number. Slices mint at launch.
