Locate Note: Scope and Boundaries

A short public note clarifying the narrow role of Scintilla Locate and the use cases it is not intended to serve.

Scintilla Locate is intended for high-integrity presence-based settlement rather than broad consumer location use cases. The distinction matters institutionally as well as technically, and it should be understood within the broader mission of the Scintilla Foundation rather than as the sum total of that mission.

Locate is designed for:

  • performance bonds tied to physical commitments
  • tokenized asset handovers
  • DAO-governed physical milestones
  • privacy-sensitive cross-border coordination

It is not designed for consumer geofencing, social attendance applications, retail check-ins, or marketing campaigns.
