Emerging Household Energy uses USSD as the primary offline access channel for rural household members. It is built on the open-source IXO USSD gateway and deployed as a fork at emerging-eco/ixo-ussd-supamoto.
Users dial a USSD short code on any GSM phone — no smartphone or data plan required — to register their identity, manage their account, and interact with Emerging Household Energy services.
Current capabilities
The Supamoto deployment supports:
- Know More — information about the programme, products, and services
- Account creation — register a new household member identity with a PIN, creating an IXO Decentralized Identifier (DID) and on-chain wallet
- Account login — authenticate returning users by phone number and PIN
Additional flows, including user services and agent services, are under active development. See the repository for current status.
