Catenaa, Saturday, July 05, 2025-The Moca Foundation announced the launch of Moca Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain focused on privacy-preserving, self-sovereign digital identity.
Scheduled for testnet release in Q3 and mainnet in Q4 of 2025, Moca Chain aims to disrupt centralized identity models by giving individuals, AI agents, and devices full control over their digital credentials.
Designed to support decentralized data and cross-chain verifications, Moca Chain will integrate with consumer applications and operate as an EVM-compatible, modular blockchain.
The MOCA Coin will serve as the network’s core utility token, facilitating gas fees, data verification, staking, and oracle operations.
Yat Siu, executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said the new platform addresses risks posed by centralized single sign-on systems by offering decentralized ownership of user data.
Moca Chain is designed to operate across industries, with use cases in healthcare, finance, recruitment, and digital advertising. Key features include on- and off-chain data verification, zkTLS-based web proofs, and customizable privacy permissions, enabling users to share data selectively in exchange for access or rewards.
The chain is being built to integrate with major Web2 applications and partner platforms, including SK Planet and One Football, with a combined reach of over 700 million users.
Moca Chain’s composable identity layer also enables users to move credentials such as loyalty points and social proofs across dApps without compromising privacy.
