The Moca Foundation and Moca Network, an Animoca Brands project, have officially launched a decentralized blockchain mainnet designed to let users and artificial intelligence agents securely share verified credentials across different applications. The network focuses on digital identity, allowing organizations to issue verifiable credentials that cover information such as identity verification and membership status.
According to Moca Network, the system is designed to decouple verification from data storage. Users retain custody of their credentials and control when and where they are shared, addressing privacy risks linked to fragmented digital identity systems that require customers to undergo repeated verification across multiple platforms.
Under the decentralized verification model, organizations can verify user information and issue tamper-resistant credentials linked to a unified digital identity. This approach aims to reduce the volume of sensitive information that companies must store.
Moca Network is pairing the new blockchain with AIR, a tool that provides businesses with a single integration point for onboarding users and AI agents. Companies can utilize AIR to convert existing customer checks into credentials on Moca Chain or accept credentials issued by trusted third parties.
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, stated that users should not be forced to surrender sensitive personal information redundantly every time they access a new service. He noted that as autonomous AI agents increasingly navigate the digital economy, Moca Chain is positioned to give individuals sovereign ownership of their credentials while allowing businesses to establish trust without unnecessary data custody.
Moca Network reported that over nine partners plan to integrate AIR in 2026. The ecosystem includes consumer platforms, fintech companies, loyalty programs, and agentic commerce projects such as SK Planet, Biletinial, Oyunfor, Open Campus, OneFootball, Automobili Lamborghini, Inveo Kripto, Plume, and Nansen.
Kenneth Shek, CEO of Moca Network, noted that scalable data sharing is necessary for AI agents to act on behalf of humans, though the trust framework for delegation and authority has historically been lacking. Shek stated that AIR is designed to allow AI agents to perform tasks while users maintain control over their personal data and permissions.
