Beacon Ideas
What will your Beacon say?
Your Beacon is an optional public message attached to your CavoID. Use it to say a little about yourself, signal what you are looking for, or leave a quiet message for someone else under the same sky.
A small signal is enough.
A Beacon can be practical, personal, poetic, or simply blank. You can change it later.

Public information
Beacons appear publicly in the CavoID Directory. Share only information you are comfortable making public. For pen pals, an email address, social handle, PO box, or parcel locker is safer than publishing your home address. Never include passwords, financial details, identity documents, or other sensitive personal information.
