Moca Foundation Unveils Moca Chain, a Layer 1 Blockchain for Identity and User Data

The Moca Foundation has revealed plans to launch Moca Chain, a LAYER 1 blockchain designed to empower self-sovereign identity and user data control. The platform will enable individuals, devices, and AI agents to manage and verify digital credentials without reliance on centralized systems.

Scheduled for testnet in Q3 2025 and mainnet in Q4 2025, Moca Chain will feature decentralized data storage, cross-chain identity oracles, and zero-knowledge proof technology (zkTLS) for secure verification across applications and chains. The EVM-compatible blockchain will serve as a modular identity layer for partners, with MOCA Coin powering gas fees, staking, and verification services.

"Single sign-on systems represent a centralized point of failure in today's digital landscape," said Animoca Brands' Yat Siu, highlighting the need for decentralized alternatives. The project aims to bridge web2 and web3 identity management while preserving user privacy.
