Every Place Needs
an Identity
Maiaddy is building the location identity system for Nigeria.
A universal way to reference any street, building, or place with certainty.
Modern systems know who you are.
They know what you own.
They know when things happen.
But across much of the world, systems still struggle to answer one basic question:
Where exactly is this place?
Most digital systems were built with a quiet assumption:
That every place already has a reliable address.
In many parts of the world, this simply isn't true.
Addresses can be informal, incomplete, or constantly changing.
The same location might be described five different ways:
"Opposite the blue gate.
"Behind the old market.
"Next to the church.
"Third street after the roundabout.
"Near the mango tree.
For people,
this is inconvenient.
For systems,
it's a problem.
The World Assumes
Locations Are Clear
Introducing Loccodes
Loccodes give every place a unique, human-usable identity.
A loccode represents a specific physical location — a street, a building, or a place — with a single stable reference.
Instead of describing a place with long directions or coordinates, you can simply share its loccode.
Traditional Description
"The blue building opposite the gas station, third street after the market, Lekki Phase 1"
Loccode
Unique
One place → one reference.
Human-usable
Easy to share, write, and remember.
Machine-readable
Works naturally in databases, forms, and systems.
Stable
Designed to persist over time.
A simple idea:
Every place deserves a clear identity.
Modern infrastructure depends on a few fundamental systems.
The internet runs on IP addresses and DNS.
Telecommunications runs on phone numbers.
Digital identity runs on ID systems.
These systems allow people and machines to coordinate reliably.
Location has long been missing this kind of primitive.
Loccodes introduce a universal reference system for place.
