Where the numbers come from
A protocol that promises verifiability should not publish unverifiable numbers. Every market figure used on this site appears below with its primary source and how we label it. Three rules: vendor projections are always labelled as such; reasoned estimates are flagged as estimates and never dressed up as measurements; and protocol fees and allocation figures are never published until the independent pre-genesis economic simulation sets them (the fixed maximum supply is the one published constant).
Every figure, one row
| Figure | Source | How we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Machine (non-human) identities outnumber human identities ~50:1 | Omdia, December 2024; reported in IBM Think, The Practitioner’s Guide to Non-Human Identities (Clark & Forward, February 2026) | The scale of the accountability gap; the amortisation argument (one KYC backs N agents) |
| >1 billion active AI agents expected by 2029 (~28.6M in 2025) | IDC (Rick Villars), December 2025 | The growth curve the identity layer must survive — and why state must never scale with agents |
| 40% of enterprise applications with task-specific agents by end of 2026, up from <5% in 2025 | Gartner | Why the integration window is now |
| “With autonomy comes accountability” — the framing of agentic identity as an unsolved accountability problem | OpenID Foundation, Identity Management for Agentic AI (Tobin South et al., October 2025) | Primary corroborating source for the problem statement |
| Agentic-identity market sizing and urgency claims | Strata, Why Agentic Identities Matter | Vendor projection — labelled as such wherever used |
This register is the single point of truth: a figure that is not in it does not appear on this site. When the citation register in the protocol repository gains a new primary source, it is added here.
What you will not find here
No allocation numbers, no fee schedule, no price, no listing plans. The maximum supply is fixed and published — 93,924,792 tokens — because it is a protocol constant, not a promise. Every other figure is a versioned parameter, set after an independent economic simulation and audited before genesis. Any allocation, fee or price figure you see attributed to MintID elsewhere is not ours.
