Moca Foundation Unveils Moca Chain for Decentralized Identity Solutions

Hong Kong-based Moca Foundation has announced the development of Moca Chain, a LAYER 1 blockchain dedicated to self-sovereign identity and user verification. The network aims to empower individuals, devices, and AI agents with control over their digital credentials while preserving privacy through decentralized architecture.

Scheduled for testnet launch in Q3 2025 with mainnet following in Q4, Moca Chain will feature EVM compatibility and modular design. Its infrastructure includes decentralized data storage, cross-chain identity oracles, and zero-knowledge proof technology (zkTLS) for web data verification. The network's native MOCA token will facilitate gas fees, staking, and data-related operations.

Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu highlighted the project's significance, noting current reliance on centralized single sign-on systems creates vulnerability points in digital identity management. Moca Chain proposes an alternative where credentials remain user-controlled across applications and chains.
