Sourcing

# 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).

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

Why the integration window is now

“With autonomy comes accountability” — the framing of agentic identity as an unsolved accountability problem

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 offer figures — no fee schedule, no price, and nothing for sale: as a matter of ratified policy, the only route by which an offer could ever exist is the complete EU MiCA Title II process. The genesis allocation is published as argued working points — 15% development · 25% public tranche · 60% validator reward pool — inside ratified, frozen bands, and the independent economic simulation validates every one of them before genesis. The maximum supply is fixed and published — 108,000,000 tokens — because it is a protocol constant, not a promise. Any other allocation, fee or price figure you see attributed to MintID elsewhere is not ours.
