Subjects & identity
A stable identity across wallets, applications and economic history.

What is a Subject?
A Subject has a stable onchain anchor address. It is an identity identifier, not an asset wallet or a fee-custody contract. A subject can associate an X account and up to 32 EVM wallets under the registry’s authorization rules.
Discovery before claim
The extension observes numeric User IDs in existing X page responses. An observed ID can bootstrap an unclaimed subject. Handles, names and avatars are display metadata; a handle never supplies a User ID.
Page observations are unverified. They do not authenticate authorship, prove control, grant withdrawal rights or make the observer the subject’s owner.
Claim and control
Claim requires official Privy/X authentication evidence and the intended controller wallet’s signature. An existing controller cannot be replaced by X login alone. Changes in controller revision invalidate stale authorizations.
History survives identity changes
Claims, display-name changes, wallet linking and ownership transfers do not reset a subject’s accepted economic history or issuance curve. Subjects are not proof of unique natural persons.
