Moca Foundation has announced the launch of its own chain, a layer-1 blockchain designed to manage digital identities and authenticate data in a decentralized way.
The network aims to provide an alternative to centralized login systems, allowing users, devices, and AI agents to control and verify their credentials without relying on intermediaries.
The rollout plan includes a testnet launch in the third quarter of 2025, with a mainnet deployment expected before the end of the year. The blockchain will be compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine, enabling interoperability with Ethereum and other networks that follow the same technical standards.
A native token, MOCA, will be integrated and used for transaction fees, validator staking, storage, oracle services, and data verification. Additionally, the ecosystem will allow applications built on any network to verify both on-chain and off-chain information, thanks to an architecture that includes decentralized storage, cross-chain identity oracles, and proof generation through ZK-TLS with on-chain verification.
From Animoca Brands, one of the founding partners, they pointed out that single sign-on systems have become critical points of vulnerability, concentrating sensitive personal data. According to Yat Siu, co-founder of the company, the new chain aims to eliminate that risk and give users full control over their data.
The project already includes AIR Kit, an identity management development toolkit integrated into products and services of companies and other strategic partners. This tool gives Moca Chain access to a potential base of over 700 million users from the outset.
