The Moca Foundation has announced the upcoming launch of Moca Chain, a Layer-1 blockchain designed specifically to empower self-sovereign identity, privacy-preserving user verification, and decentralized control over digital credentials. The testnet is scheduled for release in Q3 2025, with the mainnet following in Q4 2025.
This EVM-compatible, modular blockchain will enable individuals, devices, and AI agents to unify, manage, and verify their identity data without relying on centralized platforms. It supports on- and off-chain data verification across multiple applications and blockchains through decentralized storage, cross-chain identity oracles, web proof data generation, and on-chain verification processes.
Moca Chain utilizes the MOCA Coin as its native token, which will be used for gas fees, validator staking, storage, oracle services, and data verification. The project is positioned to disrupt traditional identity models by removing centralized points of failure found in single sign-on (SSO) systems, thereby giving users true ownership and control over their data and digital identities.
Significant partnerships have been forged with major platforms including SK Planet’s OK Cashbag and OneFootball, collectively serving nearly 230 million users. Moca Chain will support a broad range of use cases spanning healthcare (verifiable electronic health records), recruitment (verified educational credentials), finance (privacy-preserved KYC/AML), and advertising (unified user data for verified onboarding).
Moca Network, the identity ecosystem of Animoca Brands, is a key launch partner expected to integrate Moca Chain within its existing ecosystem, which extends to over 700 million addressable users. The foundation behind these efforts is the community-governed MOCA Foundation, aiming to foster innovation and growth centered around decentralized identity and digital property rights.
