<strong>Hong Kong, China, June 25th, 2025, Chainwire</strong>

<a href="https://www.moca.foundation/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Moca Foundation</a> today announced that it will launch <a href="https://mocachain.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Moca Chain</a>, a Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for identity and user data. Moca Chain will support the development of identity protocols in respective industry verticals to enable individuals, devices, and AI agents to control, unify, and verify their digital credentials without relying on centralized platforms, and accelerate user-centric yet privacy-preserved growth via integrations with consumer applications. Moca Chain testnet and mainnet are expected to launch in Q3 and Q4 2025, respectively.

Moca Chain will allow on- and off-chain user data to be verified via any applications on any chains through its decentralized data storage, cross-chain identity oracle, web proof data generation (zkTLS), and on-chain verifications. It will operate as a modular, EVM-compatible chain, working interoperably with other chains to provide the identity and data layer for partners and adopters. Moca Chain will utilize MOCA Coin as the core token for gas, validator staking, storage, oracle, data generation, and verification fees.

Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said: “Billions of users today go online using single sign-on (SSO), which contains the keys to a user’s data, services, and digital lives. While convenient, SSO represents a centralized point of failure that compromises security while also allowing operators to aggressively extract value from users’ digital selves. Moca Chain seeks to solve this problem by giving users decentralized true ownership of their data, ensuring the sovereignty of users’ digital identity without a single point of failure.
<blockquote>He continued: “In conjunction with Moca Network’s AIR Kit, Moca Chain is creating a digital ecosystem where users can finally own their data, reputations, and contributions. This aligns strongly with the mission of Animoca Brands to advance digital property rights and empower individuals to control and benefit from their online activities and their personal data, enabling more equitable sharing of the value that users generate through their online presence and activity.”</blockquote>
<blockquote>Kenneth Shek, project lead of Moca Network, said: “Moca Chain and AIR Kit are a one-of-a-kind infrastructure for verified identity data to empower consumer apps and their users. By adopting Moca Chain and MOCA Coin, we believe we can disrupt current models of data ownership and break down the dominance of walled garden ecosystems, returning value to the users who generate it and making ecosystem growth more scalable.”</blockquote>
Moca Network is the identity ecosystem of Animoca Brands. As one of the launch partners of Moca Chain, Moca Network is committed to growing Moca Chain’s ecosystem and advancing the adoption of Moca Chain. Moca Network’s AIR Kit is integrated into offerings by various partners including Animoca Brands portfolio companies, partners, and affiliates, estimated to reach over 700 million addressable users. Protocols and applications built on Moca Chain will be able to gain access to the user networks and data of AIR Kit adopters, including SK Planet’s OK Cashbag (28 million KYC’d users) and One Football (over 200 millions users).

Together with its protocol partners, Moca Chain aims to solve common industry pain points for identity verifications: fragmentation, authenticity, privacy, interoperability, and self-sovereign control, with use cases spanning across multiple industries. Current use cases include Healthcare (unified electronic health records verifiable across healthcare providers), Recruitment (verified education credentials and training history), Finance (privacy-preserved KYC/AML), and Advertising (unified user data across apps for verified user onboarding).

Moca Chain is designed for real-world adoption, with Moca Network’s AIR Kit integrated into major Web2 platforms to power identity and rewards directly inside apps already familiar to millions of people. These partnerships make Moca Chain the backbone of a growing ecosystem of identity-based experiences.

Under the traditional paradigm, end users of major platforms and services (such as social networks or online retailers) are effectively locked into closed platforms where their data is siloed and monetized without their control. Moca Chain seeks to give back control to end users by enabling them to prove their identity and safeguard their data in a unified identity framework. Users of Moca Chain will specify which applications are able to access their private data, and they will be able to set granular permissions over how and where the data are shared; data sharing entitles users to partner ecosystem access, benefits, or token rewards for any use of their data.

Moca Chain’s composable identity layer will support seamless movement of user attributes such as loyalty points, social proof, and access rights across multiple dApps. This will enable users to unlock access and rewards across platforms without exposing private data, while maintaining a unified identity that is fully under their control.

Protocols built on Moca Chain can choose to issue or verify reusable on- and off-chain user data and credentials for monetization, while preserving the privacy of identity and reputation data. Once data is issued to the end users, data is verifiable everywhere via zero knowledge proofs, fostering ecosystem growth by cross-pollinating users without any direct API integrations, shifting the counterparty of verifiers from centralized platforms to end users.

Moca Chain will work alongside AIR Kit, the global account, identity, and reputation software development kit (SDK) of Moca Network. Developers can utilize AIR Kit to create feature-rich applications with smart accounts and verifiable credentials, while its support for plug-and-play permissions facilitates the creation of user-friendly applications.
