MUKOKO Tokens
The mukoko ecosystem uses two tokens on Polygon PoS: the MUKOKO Identity Token (MIT), a soulbound non-transferable token anchored to your verified identity, and the MUKOKO Exchange Token (MXT), a transferable utility token for payments, tipping, and peer-to-peer transfers. Neither token represents any ownership interest or security in Nyuchi Africa, the Mukoko Foundation, or any affiliated entity.
Governing Entities
The Mukoko Foundation (Mauritius) serves as the non-profit custodian of the protocol, token economics, and Ubuntu charter. Nyuchi Africa (Pvt) Ltd (Zimbabwe) is the for-profit operating company that builds and operates the platform under a revocable service agreement with the Foundation.
