The Million Acre Wall
Every acre of public support, marked on the Tract and kept: draw your acres, pledge by the acre, and leave a mark that stays.

The wall, as it stands
The marks on the wall, in gold, from the Register’s own feed; the figures beneath are live. The marks never touch the parcels, the surveys, the allotments or the conservancy.

acres to mark: the whole Tract, and more
Mark your acres at the Million Acre Wall.
The game on the Tract
- Special places: hidden on the Tract: find one, and your mark is raised to its tier
- A forebear’s name: acres marked for one who came before
- Your town: marked from wherever you are
- Conservation acres: marked to stay as they are
- Six Miles Deep: the river to the line, the Tract’s whole depth
- Acres in chains: as the surveyors measured
- A stamp by post: the plan’s stamp sent to you
- Every year: re-mark it; the wall keeps every year
- Three tiers: Standard, Elevated, Major, by the place found
How a mark is made, in six steps
- 1DrawYOU
Draw your shape on the Tract, or type the acres you want; the wall shows its acres, in square chains too, and what it comes to: $2 an acre, from a quarter acre, $25 the least
- 2PledgeFAINT
Give your name as it should stand on the wall, or a forebear’s, and the town you mark from; the mark stands faint on the wall as a pledge
- 3The Treasury confirmsFULL
Your contribution goes to the Voluntary Contribution Program, direction 2, legal and institutional development: the credential system. When the Treasury confirms it, the mark stands full
- 4The plan is issuedSUP001
Your Public Support Plan, on the certificate sheet: the shape with its bearings and corner markers, a key map, its acres, your name, its stamp, its code, SUP001-YYMMDD-NNNNNN, and the Nation’s Edge Mark
- 5The tokenERC-721
The same plan as a token to the standards the NFT world reads: ERC-721 with its metadata, ERC-4906 so its standing updates as the wall fills; its value rises as the wall fills, by scarcity, and it is never resold
- 6Keep itKEPT
Open it again by its code; a stamp by post if you ask; re-mark it each year, and the wall keeps every year; find a special place and the plan says so
What a mark is, and is not
It is
- a mark of public support on the Tract, kept for as long as the wall stands
- a Public Support Plan on the certificate sheet, with its code and stamp
- a token to the NFT standards, whose standing rises as the wall fills
- a contribution confirmed by the Treasury, and a name on the wall
It is not
- a parcel, a survey, an allotment, or any part of the conservancy: every plan says so
- a title to land, or a claim against anyone’s
- for resale: a plan stays with the one who made the mark
Where the money goes
The Voluntary Contribution Program, direction 2: legal and institutional development, the credential system: the passports, the cards and the Register behind them. The Treasury confirms every contribution; the Ledger keeps it.
The wall and the land registry are kept apart. The parcels, the surveys, the allotments and the conservancy are the Register’s; the wall is support, and nothing more.
The standards
ERC-721 and its metadata; ERC-4906 for standing that changes; the Edge Mark on every plan; the Record Code SUP001 in every token; acres by spherical excess, in chains too.
