Moca Foundation and Moca Network, a flagship project by Animoca Brands, today announced the launch of the Moca Chain mainnet. Moca Chain is a blockchain network built specifically for digital identity, enabling users to transport verified and trusted credentials, such as verified identity or membership status, across applications while minimizing data exposure.
Concurrent with the Moca Chain mainnet launch, AIR, which is the Moca Chain-based integration layer for identity, payments, and loyalty, has continued to onboard enterprises, infrastructure, and data partners.
AIR provides businesses with a single integration point to onboard users and their AI agents, and share data in a privacy-preserved manner, maximizing collaboration via data sharing while minimizing the volume of personal information they are required to custody.
Currently, most digital identity systems require users to duplicate verification processes across disparate platforms, leading to data fragmentation and elevated security vulnerabilities. This structural inefficiency is compounding as agentic web traffic and commerce continue to grow. As AI agents increasingly shop, book, and register on behalf of users, merchants and businesses need reliable ways to securely verify agents’ mandates and their owners’ identities.
Moca Chain addresses this problem through a decentralized verification model that enables a wide range of organizations, including financial platforms, telcos, retailers, and ticketing services, to verify users’ data, and issue tamper-proof verifiable credentials on Moca Chain, under a unified digital identity. Users custody these credentials themselves and decide where to share them, with cryptographically enforced consent. When an application queries a user’s identity status it receives a digitally certified confirmation instead of a copy of the underlying identity documentation. Credentials can be updated or revoked, with state changes reflected network-wide on Moca Chain, allowing all integrated applications to detect modifications without requiring users to submit updated proofs or entire identity documents for every platform they interact with.
Moca Network’s AIR works bidirectionally: companies can convert existing customer verification checks into credentials on Moca Chain, or accept credentials issued by trusted partners to streamline user onboarding and automate conditional access based on verified data.
AIR extends this identity framework to AI agents by giving users control over agent permissions and authorization rules. As agentic commerce volume continues to increase, businesses can utilize AIR to verify the identities of AI agents and their human owners, validating the authorization scope of agents before offering any access, pricing, services, or offers.
The ecosystem of Moca Network and AIR includes integration partners across various consumer platforms, fintech providers, loyalty programs, and agentic commerce environments, including SK Planet, Biletinial, Oyunfor, Open Campus, OneFootball, Automobili Lamborghini, Inveo Kripto, Plume, and Nansen.
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said: “Users should not be forced to surrender sensitive personal information redundantly every time they use a new service and platform—not only is the process time-consuming and tedious, but it also stifles competition by erecting barriers to alternative merchants and providers, keeping users locked in to the platforms where they are already authenticated. As more and more AI agents navigate the digital economy on behalf of more and more people, Moca Chain is ideally positioned to provide individuals with sovereign ownership of their credentials, and to give businesses a mechanism that can establish trust without unnecessary data custody.”
Kenneth Shek, managing director of Moca Network, said: “Moca Chain is the foundational infrastructure for availability of identity data and auditability of identity states. Scalable data sharing is necessary for AI agents to act on behalf of humans, however the trust framework for delegation and authority is lacking. In the past, platforms have compromised user privacy to enable agent automation. AIR solves this by keeping users in control of their data while enabling AI agents to execute tasks safely and seamlessly via secure, scalable, and privacy-preserved data sharing.”
