We're an infrastructure company at heart. Our apps bring people together; our platforms provide access. We design for the realities, costs, and opportunities of Africa's unique economies — and we do it in the open.

Three pillars:

• Web2 → Web3 → quantum. Open-source infrastructure that spans today's web, the decentralized web, and the quantum era.
• On-device, local-first, edge. Compute and storage that work where the people are — resilient under low connectivity, private by default, and ready for the world of AGI and beyond.
• Built for communities. Platforms shaped by the Ubuntu philosophy: collaboration, transparency, and shared ownership over extraction.

• ntl — signal-based data transfer layer for decentralized networks. Rust, Apache 2.0.
• siafudb — embedded property graph database for device, edge, and Web3. C++, Apache 2.0. This is the on-device/local-first/edge tier, literally.

• Mukoko — a privacy-first social ecosystem. "Your data stays yours, your identity is sovereign, and the algorithm works for you." Family of apps includes Mukoko News, Mukoko Lingo, Mukoko Weather, and Nhimbe (events).
• learning — digital learning experiences for Africa, built around African knowledge systems.
• shamwari-ai — a localized AI model and platform purpose-built for the African continent.

Our design system lives at design.nyuchi.com — shadcn-compatible components, the Five African Minerals palette, and APCA Lc 90+ contrast targets. The source is design-portal.

• Open source first — public by default, private only when necessary.
• Conventional Commits — every commit and PR title follows conventionalcommits.org.
• Signed commits — all merges to main are signed and verified.
• CI is the source of truth — required status checks gate every merge.
