All 31 files from ideas/passepartout-economics/ promoted to ideas/ root. - Subfolder's passepartout-economics.org (42-line index) renamed to triad-index.org to avoid collision with root-level full doc - index.org removed (redundant — triad-index.org replaces it) - Root-level passepartout-economics.org: stripped file:passepartout-economics/ prefix from all cross-references (now simple file:foo.org links) - compliance-framework-mapping.org: same prefix cleanup - All internal file: links within the economics docs already used simple names (no prefix) — they resolve correctly from ideas/ root

#+title: Premium Username Registry on Agora

The DID system is permissionless — anyone generates their own DID via HD key derivation. But human-readable @handles (short names, common words, brand names) are naturally scarce. The early player controls the namespace registry.
|
|
|
|
- **Free tier:** any DID can claim a namespace.username on a first-come, first-served basis with proof of key ownership
|
|
- **Premium tier:** short names (2-3 chars), common words, brand names, squatter prevention via auction or annual lease
|
|
- **Revenue model:** $5-$50/year per premium username, auction revenue for highly contested names (single-letter, common surnames). ENS-style: registration fees fund development, not speculation.

At scale: 1M premium usernames at $10/yr average = $10M/yr recurring. The namespace registry is a natural monopoly — the early player's registry is the most widely accepted, so every new user registers there. Network effects lock in. The premium username registry works together with a [[file:pds-as-a-service.org][PDS as a service]] offering and a [[file:compute-marketplace.org][Compute marketplace]] to form a complete revenue ecosystem.
