Animoca Brands’ Moca Network Launches Game-Changing Moca Chain: A New Era for Digital Identity
Web3 just got a identity upgrade—and Wall Street won't see it coming.
Animoca Brands' Moca Network drops the mic with Moca Chain, a blockchain built to put users back in control of their digital selves. No more middlemen, no more data leaks—just decentralized ownership where it counts.
Why this matters: Identity is the holy grail of Web3 adoption. While TradFi still charges $50 fees to verify your grandma, Moca Chain cuts through the bureaucracy with self-sovereign solutions. Expect wallets, credentials, and reputation systems that actually work together—unlike your legacy bank's 1999 API.
The cynical take? If this succeeds, it'll make KYC paperwork obsolete faster than a Bitcoin ETF approval gets delayed. Animoca's betting that in 2025, your blockchain ID will be worth more than your credit score. They might be right.
Introducing Moca ChainMoca Chain is a modular and chain-agnostic EVM-compatible chain that enables self-sovereign identity, trustless data onboarding, reusable data, and privacy-preserved on-chain verifications in any app on any chain. pic.twitter.com/1bqsLG8l4Z — MOCA Coin (@MOCAFoundation) June 25, 2025
Furthermore, Moca Chain will allow verification of both on- and off-chain user data through “any applications on any chains.”
The chain’s identity LAYER will support “seamless movement of user attributes” such as loyalty points, social proof, and access rights across decentralized apps (dapps). The team claims that this approach “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.”
Additionally, the teams building protocols on Moca Chain can “choose to issue or verify reusable on- and off-chain user data and credentials for monetization.” The data issued to the end user can be verified “everywhere” via zero-knowledge proofs.
This is “fostering ecosystem growth by cross-pollinating users without any direct API integrations, shifting the counterparty of verifiers from centralized platforms to end users,” the team argues.

Per the announcement, “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.”
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, argued that billions of people use single sign-on (SSO), but that these have a centralized point of failure. On the contrary, Moca Chain will give users decentralized ownership of their data, without a single point of failure, sui says.
Kenneth Shek, project lead of Moca Network, added that “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.”
