 h- frequency trading\, augmented reality and online gaming\, require low l
 atency between users. Geographically-diverse replication is a common techn
 ique to decrease latency\, but current de- ployment frameworks either targ
 et specific applications (e.g.\, content distribution networks are prevale
 nt for static content)\, fail to provide fine-grained locality\, (e.g.\, c
 loud services)\, or offer little support for consistency guarantees. We pr
 opose a framework applicable to general-purpose distributed systems that p
 reserves locality between any pair of users interacting through the system
 \, while providing strong consistency. We also suggest initial ideas to de
 velop locality-preserving blockchains and the security challenges that ari
