Africa's super app
Your Twin. Your sovereignty. Your honey.
Mukoko is Shona for beehive. Seventeen mini-apps and four substrate components, all powered by your Digital Twin — an AI that lives in your sovereign Web3 pod, that we cannot read, that we cannot sell.
Four commitments
The platforms that exist were not built for us. We built one that is.
Mukoko is not "Africa's WeChat." It is built on a different model entirely — privacy as architecture, not as a setting; ownership as cryptography, not as a checkbox; community as the operating system.
-
Your Twin lives in your pod.
Cryptographically bound to your identity token, accessible only with your keys. Mukoko has no server-side copy. We cannot sell what we cannot access.
-
No surveillance business model.
No dark patterns. No ad-tech reselling. Your Twin's Honey algorithm optimises for enrichment, not engagement.
-
Creators keep 80%+.
On Novels, on Bytes, on every commerce surface. Revenue splits are smart-contract-enforced — not policy that can change.
-
Local-first. Mobile-first. Open source. Open data.
The four pillars. Built on technology that cannot be taken away — SQLite (public domain), ScyllaDB (AGPL), CouchDB (Apache).
Seventeen mini-apps
One ID. One Twin. One ecosystem.
Each mini-app is a fully navigable, standalone experience — and each one operates in three modes simultaneously: Musha (home, what you experience), Basa (work, what other apps consume), Nhaka (heritage, what flows into the open commons).
-
Campfire
Communication
The platform anchor. All direct and group messaging — and every cross-app notification (BushTrade bookings, Nhimbe reminders, Wallet requests, Shamwari AI responses) arrives here.
-
Pulse
Communication
Personalised content feed (v1) and agentic home dashboard (v2 via Mukoko Home). The first surface most users see when they open Mukoko.
-
Mukoko News
Content & Media
African journalism, news, and stock signals. Standalone platform with its own backend and database project.
-
Bytes
Content & Media
Short-form video. The creator economy layer of the platform — creators own their content and revenue split is enforced by smart contract, not policy.
-
Novels
Content & Media
African long-form storytelling and publishing. Authors keep 80%+; co-authors split revenue automatically through smart contracts.
-
Circles
Community
Interest groups, fan communities, professional networks. The persistent social fabric.
-
Nhimbe
Community
Events and gatherings. Where the digital platform produces physical community — festivals, meetups, ceremonies. Nhimbe is the Shona word for a community work gathering.
-
BushTrade
Commerce & Economy
Africa's marketplace. Rentals primary, sales expanding. Standalone platform with its own backend. Delivery fulfilment powered by Nyuchi Logistics.
-
Wallet
Commerce & Economy
MXT, mobile money (EcoCash, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money), bank transfers, crypto, card. First-class economic layer for the 60% who are unbanked. Powered by Nyuchi Pay.
-
Jobs
Commerce & Economy
Employment discovery — formal, informal, and gig economy. Professional matching and credential verification via Mukoko ID.
-
Places
Place & Movement
Africa's geographic knowledge graph. The most-referenced schema on the platform — formal and informal business verification across 54 countries, 50+ cities seeded.
-
Transport
Place & Movement
Public transport routing (Harare Metro open-source backbone), vehicle booking, and delivery tracking. Consumer surface for Nyuchi Logistics.
-
Mukoko Lingo
Knowledge & Wellness
African language learning. Shona and Ndebele primary. English, French, Portuguese, and travel phrase courses. Standalone platform with its own backend.
-
Weather
Knowledge & Wellness
Hyperlocal forecasts, severe weather alerts, and farming intelligence. Community weather observations flow through the open data pipeline.
-
Health
Knowledge & Wellness
Health information, telemedicine booking, medication reminders. Sensitive health records stored in the sovereign Digital Twin pod, not in platform databases. Consumer surface for Nyuchi Medical.
-
Planner
Knowledge & Wellness
Calendar, tasks, bookings, and notes consolidated. Every time-committed activity across the platform writes here automatically — Nhimbe RSVPs, BushTrade bookings, Campfire meetings.
-
Mukoko ID
Identity
One login, one Digital Twin, one reputation across all 17 mini-apps and every Nyuchi enterprise product. Five verification tiers — unverified, community, OTP, government, licensed.
Four substrate components
The ground everything stands on.
-
Digital Twin
Your sovereign AI. Three concentric intelligence layers: personal (your pod data, encrypted and sovereign), community (anonymised platform data), and platform (base Mukoko knowledge). The conversational interface is Shamwari — friend in Shona. Lives in your Web3 pod on the Nyuchi Honeycomb network. Cryptographically bound to your MIT soulbound token.
-
Mukoko Home
The ambient agentic surface the Twin expresses itself through — phone, desk monitor, kitchen display, lounge TV. Pulse v2 toggle. Connects Mukoko to external services via MCP (Model Context Protocol). The orchestration centre of your digital life.
-
MUKOKO Token
Two-token economic protocol. MIT (Identity) is soulbound, non-transferable, anchored to your date of birth, with three temporal pools (Year 60% / Month 30% / Day 10%). MXT (Exchange) is transferable, elastic, deployed on Polygon — initial supply 3 billion, baseline 10,000 MXT per new verified user, annual ceiling 15%, burn rate 30% of platform fees.
-
Ubuntu Layer
The community conscience. Contribution scoring, badges, missions, leaderboards, governance. The Ubuntu Multiplier amplifies governance voice for committed community members. The ethical fabric running across everything.
Ndiri nekuti tiri.
I am because we are. The bees do not compete. They build the hive. Then they fill it with honey.
