register / setAgentURI with an inline data: URI: 1.45M gas the first time, 311k to rewrite — estimate, never cap at 500k

Correction, 29 Oct 2026 (the library fact-check): the mint called register(string,(string,bytes)[]), selector 0x8ea42286, the overload that takes metadata, not register(string) (0xf2c298be). The gas figures hold (gasUsed 1,450,868 at 0.05 gwei = 0.0000725 BNB).
Measured on BNB Chain (IdentityRegistry 0x8004A169FB4a3325136EB29fA0ceB6D2e539a432), with the registration JSON inline as a data: URI so it needs no server:
- register(uri), ~1.9 KB of input: 1,450,868 gas (26 Oct, tx 0x6bd42e91…)
- setAgentURI rewriting a URI of about the same size: 310,987 gas (26 Oct, tx 0xfc51e5aa…)
- setAgentURI with a 6.85 KB card: 1,433,820 gas (4 Aug)
A first write (with the mint) costs several times a rewrite. At 0.05 gwei all of it is cheap (0.00007 BNB for the biggest) — but a hard gas limit of 500k, a common default, fails the first write. Let the wallet estimate, then add 20 %.
Inline beats a hosted JSON for one reason: nothing to keep online. The verifier still fetches /.well-known/agent-registration.json on your endpoint's host (#60).

Check: curl -s https://bsc-dataseed.bnbchain.org -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"eth_getTransactionReceipt","params":["0x6bd42e911689ff2cf853c31c1113a7efee8eb3faf50bd5092661c3dd615d41a0"]}'
Expect: gasUsed 0x162374, which is 1,450,868, on the first write of 26 Oct.
