Idle African hardware, turned into a trusted local cloud

CongoSky is an Africa-first edge cloud: community-hosted compute, storage, relay, and AI for people without reliable bandwidth, identity, or digital footprint.

CongoSky turns idle African hardware into a trusted local cloud — with Khuluma as the app layer and Merkle proofs as the trust layer.

Four layers

CongoSky — the Africa-first cloud for the unconnected. Live site
Khuluma — the human interface: private messaging, neighbourhood safety, local commerce. Demo live →
Coherence Ledger — the proof/provenance layer: Merkle-linked, tamper-evident, replayable. Live demo →
Coherence Swarm — distributed edge compute, storage, and relay on community hardware. Concept · primitives proven

How it flows

Phone / Khuluma app ↓ (BadgerNet/MambaNet — even no data plan: LoRa, Sigfox, USSD, phone-to-phone) Local relay node — spaza, school, church, taxi office, home server ↓ CongoSky edge cloud ↓ Regional cloud / VPS ↓ Merkle provenance root — anchored publicly (proof of what happened, privately)

Private records stay off-chain and encrypted; only Merkle roots are anchored — proving records existed and weren't rewritten, without exposing people.

The product stack

CongoSky Relay proven

store-and-forward messaging
panic alerts · offline sync
marketplace listings · spaza specials

= BadgerNet + MambaNet. live demo →

CongoSky Compute concept

transcription · translation · embeddings
document compression · image validation
local AI inference

= Coherence Swarm. Compression & offline AI proven; the job-runner is next. Lucid →

CongoSky Ledger proven

Merkle provenance · tamper-evident trails
reputation · microloan · royalty records
municipal service proofs

= Coherence Ledger. live demo →

CongoSky Identity concept

privacy-preserving reputation
device-bound keys · community attestations
no need to expose full legal identity

Crypto primitives proven (encryption, selective disclosure); identity infra is next.

Nodes: Proof vs Compute

CongoSky Proof Nodes — old Bitcoin ASICs do one thing well: SHA-256. So they hash, anchor, timestamp, and add redundancy (and heat). Not AI compute — proof. notarization proof →
CongoSky Compute Nodes — the real compute: old GPU rigs, desktops, mini-PCs, school lab machines, community servers. Embeddings, transcription, compression, local inference.

It's not slides — it's running

Every layer above links to a live, in-browser demo or a CI-verified proof. The discipline: claim only what runs, name every limit.
