Platform

The localLOOP platform comprises five protocol concepts — two identity layers, a local currency, a community signal mechanism, and a routing cost model — plus city portals that surface local circular economy initiatives.

Early-stage research. All components are lab-demo concepts. There are no active city deployments or public pilots yet.Express interest for possible future research updates.

Identity layers

MaterialDNA

Identification layer for raw and processed materials across city loops.

ProductDNA

Draft product-identity fields for discussing product-passport interoperability; not an EU DPP compliance claim.

Exchange mechanics

LoopCoin

Draft node-issued value and settlement data fields for controlled lab scenarios.

LoopSignal

Draft preference-signal data for exploring routing and matching scenarios.

LoopCost

Draft routing-cost formula combining a stated price, illustrative penalties, and distance inputs; it does not guarantee local cost outcomes.

City portals

City Portals

Concept sketches for how a city could present local initiatives and example metrics.

DEMO City

Read-only sample portal showing illustrative lab data and interface patterns.
