LocalScale describes itself as a public benefit organization working on resilient local economies through technology, science and regenerative activity, and says it will be owned collectively by its members. Its approach has three parts: connect the inhabitants of a bioregion to strengthen local communities, bring in the organizations of the regenerative economy to run measurable projects locally, and help local governments and institutions take part in regenerative projects. It cites third-generation blockchain technology as the basis for transparency in these economies.

The site offers a playbook, a bioregion explorer, a research section, a developer API, a FundingHub introduced in March 2026, and an organic seed-exchange project. Membership is free. It lists corporate and non-profit partners and names Eduard Müller, Rieki Gordon and Kate Raworth as mentors or inspirations. There is no simulation, model or digital twin.

Operational status beyond the website is unknown; its articles run from October 2025 to June 2026.
