What ARIVA is
ARIVA is one platform that brings together the things most people in Nigeria already do on their phones every day: talking to family, sharing photos and videos, buying and selling, finding work, learning, listening to radio and asking for help with writing or translation. Instead of jumping between many separate apps, you use one ARIVA account for all of it.
That one account carries your identity (your name, photo and username), your followers, your orders and your reputation. If you build trust as a seller in the Market, people see the same trusted profile when you message them in Connect or post in Social.
Built for Nigeria first, the world next
ARIVA is designed around real Nigerian conditions: data that costs money, phones with limited storage, networks that drop, and many languages. Calls go over the internet, not your airtime. Pages are kept light. Tour text is available in English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo and Pidgin. After Nigeria, the same platform opens to Africa and the wider world.
Works fully without Pi
Pi Network is optional. You can sign in with Google, Microsoft, email or phone and use every part of ARIVA without ever touching Pi. If you are a Pi Pioneer, you can link your Pi account and pay for Market items with Pi through the official Pi SDK — but nothing in ARIVA is locked behind Pi.
The ecosystem map
- Home / Social — your feed of posts, photos, videos, polls and statuses.
- Connect — private chat, group chat, internet voice and video calls, meetings.
- Market — products and services, with escrow protection for Pi orders.
- Business — stores, catalogues and orders for sellers.
- Creator — tools for people who publish video, audio and articles.
- ARIVA AI — writing, translation, captions, business help and tutoring.
- Channel TV — live TV, local-language radio, films, shows and ARIVA channels.
- Jobs, Courses, Events — work, learning and gatherings.
- Rewards — points that reflect real activity, shown with a Pi estimate.
How the parts connect
A seller can list a product in Market, share it to their Social feed, answer buyer questions in Connect and use ARIVA AI to write the description. A company verifies its address once and then posts jobs; applicants reply with their ARIVA profile. Everything uses the same account, so nothing needs to be set up twice.
Honest by design
ARIVA does not show made-up numbers, fake members or pretend payments. When something is not ready, it is labelled Coming soon or Planned. When data is not available yet, the app says so instead of inventing figures.
