+# Endorser.ch Context
+
+## Project Overview
+Endorser.ch is an API for creating and querying claims in privacy-preserving ways. The system allows users to make cryptographically signed claims (attestations) and confirmations while maintaining control over their personal identifiers' visibility.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+1. **Privacy-Preserving**: Store and retrieve textual data publicly while ensuring identifier visibility is fully controlled by each user.
+
+2. **Accessibility**: Provide service without cost to users in selected communities, with rate-limiting to manage usage.
+
+3. **Verification**: Support only cryptographically signed claims and confirmations, ensuring authenticity.
+
+4. **Discovery**: Enable discovery of other users through visibility networks or users' preferred messaging networks.
+
+5. **Utility**: Support specific use cases like counting confirmations or aggregating claim totals.
+
+## Key Technical Concepts
+
+### Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)
+- The system uses DIDs as the primary user identification mechanism
+- Visibility of DIDs is controlled by the user
+- Hidden DIDs are represented as `HIDDEN_TEXT` in responses
+
+### Claims and Confirmations
+- Claims are attestations made by users about events, actions, or tenures
+- Confirmations are verification of claims by other users
+- All claims and confirmations are cryptographically signed using JWTs
+
+### Merkle-Chained Claims
+- Claims are chained together using cryptographic merkle hashes
+- The entire system maintains a most-recent merkle hash of all claims
+- Each user has their own most-recent merkle hash available
+- Observers with visibility permissions can verify they have the latest data
+- This enables data integrity verification for both individual users and the entire system
+- Supports efficient synchronization and verification of claim histories
+
+### Visibility Control
+- Users explicitly control who can see their identifiers
+- Visibility can be granted or revoked between users
+- Claims may be visible but with identifiers hidden
+
+### Location-Based Features
+- System supports geospatial data for claims and profiles
+- Location data can be searched and retrieved in privacy-preserving ways
+- Tile-based location indexing for efficient spatial queries
+
+### User Profiles
+- Users can create and update profiles with descriptions and locations
+- Profiles are searchable by text and location
+- Visibility rules apply to profile data
+
+## Implementation Goals
+
+1. Simple-to-deploy service with minimal dependencies
+2. Fast response times for common operations
+3. Well-defined rules for visibility and access control
+4. Scalable architecture for growing user bases
+5. Resistance to abuse through rate-limiting and verification requirements
+
+## Intended Use Cases
+
+1. Attendance verification for events
+2. Community participation tracking
+3. Location-based claim verification
+4. Peer-to-peer endorsements with privacy controls
+5. Building trust networks with controlled visibility
