Who claims to be an agent, who vouched for them, and how much of either turns into anything measurable. A registration is a claim, not activity.Note 23
ERC-8004 identity registry · every network we read · owners compared case-insensitively, cards compared as the exact pointer the registration carries
An identity costs one transaction, so a registry total measures how cheap the network is. These are the two questions underneath it: how many parties hold the identities, and how many of them describe themselves with the same document.
128,671 identities — 8% of the registry — point at one metadata document. 19% are held by an address holding more than one.
None of this is misconduct. One operator registering a fleet is an ordinary thing to do, and so is reusing a template card across a product’s agents. What it rules out is reading the registry total as a population of distinct participants.
A registration with no card is counted separately and never as an unreadable one. It carries no pointer at all, which is a fact about the registration rather than a gateway we failed to reach.
addresses hold identities on more than one chain, covering 30,440 registrations. The widest-spread address appears on 18 of the 20 chains we read.
registrations describe themselves with a document that is also used on another chain; 1,309 such documents, the most widely used of them on 12 networks.
An address is not an identity and a shared card is not proof of a shared operator: both are the strongest links the registry itself publishes, and both are floors. What they rule out is adding per-network counts together and calling the result a population.
Addresses holding the most identities, across every network we read. An address is not a firm: the same operator may hold several, so this is a floor on concentration and never a ceiling.

The count is free because the count is the finding, and so is every reading on any vault’s own page. What Analyst carries is the SCREEN: all 25 of them in one table, filtered and sorted and compared, instead of one vault at a time.
Metadata documents that more than one registration points at, with how many distinct owners point at each. One owner reusing its own card is a product; many owners pointing at one card is a different object entirely.
