Presence, made meaningful.
Lodestone® confirms real-world visits and transforms them into trusted digital experiences. Built for Geocaching®, Adventure Lab® experiences, and anywhere being there truly matters.
What is Lodestone?
Lodestone is a proof-of-presence platform. It links physical places to verified moments using secure NFC hardware and cryptography.
No GPS guessing. No QR codes. No honor system.
When you tap a Lodestone, the system confirms that a real person was physically present at a real place. That single fact unlocks new possibilities.
Why presence matters
Because being there should count.
Presence is the foundation of exploration, play, and shared stories.
Because trust enables creativity.
When visits are verified, new games, rewards, and experiences become possible.
Because verification should feel invisible.
Lodestone adds strong integrity without adding friction.
