75−Urbit IDs are digital property. The entire address space of Urbit IDs is like a vast territory of digital land. Over time, we’ve used this land to fund the development of Urbit as a whole by selling some of it to people we felt would be great stewards of this new frontier.

77−When we launched the Urbit ID system, in January of 2019, there were a few thousand different star and galaxy holders. Since then, that number is on the rise.
79The scarcity tree of Urbit ID address space drives decentralization even while the project is young, which is great. If Urbit ID is going to last a long time and succeed as neutral infrastructure, it has to be owned and controlled by a wide variety of people.
