NYAMI NYAMI · GUARDS THE RIVER
Trust, safety, and the guardian of the record

Fearsome to fakes.
Gentle to keepers.

Nyami Nyami is the river spirit of the Zambezi: serpent-bodied, fish-headed, keeper of the water and everyone who lives by it. On The Hoard, the spirit is the face of trust and safety: anomaly detection, registry challenges, and protection for keepers.

The direct answer

Nyami Nyami is The Hoard’s trust and safety system, named for the river spirit of the Zambezi. It watches the registry for anomalies, fake patterns, serial collisions, impossible histories, and protects honest records. When the guardian mark appears on a coin, the record was tested and stood.

How it works

The spirit in the system.

01

The legend

Separated from his wife by the dam at Kariba, Nyami Nyami waits in the water. The river people wear his likeness for protection.

02

The watch

On The Hoard, the guardian watches the register: anomaly detection on serials, ownership histories and trade patterns, always on.

03

The mark

Records that are challenged and stand earn the guardian mark. The spirit does not decorate, he certifies the fight.

Anomaly detection across the registry: serial collisions, impossible histories, fake patterns.
Two faces, one spirit: gentle to those who keep, fearsome to those who fake.
Carved on guardian coins for records that survived a challenge.
