Starting point is 00:00:00 This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. Mocha Foundation announces Mocha Chain for Self-Sovereign, Privacy Preserving Identity and User Verify, by Chainwire. Hong Kong, China, June 25, 2025, Chainwire, Mocha Foundation today announced that it will launch Mocha Chain, a Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for identity and user data. Mocha Chain will support the development of identity protocols in respective industry verticals to enable individuals, devices, undie 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. Mocha ChainTestNet and Maynet are expected to launch in Q3 and Q4 2025, respectively.
Starting point is 00:00:51 Mocha Chain will allow on- and off-chain user data to be verified via any applications on any chains through its decentralized data storage, cross-chain identity oracle, web-proof data generation, ZKTLS, and on-chain verifications. It will operate as a modular, EVM-compatible chain, working interoperably with other chains to provide the identity and data layer for partners and adopters. MochaChain will utilize MochaCoin as the core token for gas, validator staking, storage, Oracle, data generation, and verification fees. Greater than Yatsu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said, billions
Starting point is 00:01:29 greater than of users today go online using single sign-on, SSO, which contains the keys greater than to a user's data, services, and digital lives. While convenient, SSO greater than represents a centralized point of failure that compromises security while also greater than allowing operators to aggressively extract value from users' digital selves. Greater than Mocha Chain seeks to solve this problem by giving users decentralized true greater than ownership of their data, ensuring the sovereignty of users' digital identity greater than without a single point of failure.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Greater than he continued. In conjunction with Mocha Networks AirKit, Mocha Chain is greater than without a single point of failure. Greater than he continued. In conjunction with Mocha Networks AirKit, MochaChain is greater than creating a digital ecosystem where users can finally own their data, greater than reputations, and contributions. This aligns strongly with the mission of greater than Animocha brands to advance digital property rights and empower individuals to greater than control and benefit from their online activities
Starting point is 00:02:23 and their personal data, greater than enabling more equitable sharing of the value that users generate through their greater-than-online presence and activity. Greater than Kenneth Sheck, project lead of Mocha Network, said, Mocha Chain and AirKit are greater than a one-of-a-kind infrastructure for verified identity data to empower consumer greater-than-apps and their users. By adopting Mocha Chain and MochaCoin, we believe we can greater than apps and their users. By adopting MochaChain and MochaCoin, we believe we can greater than disrupt current models of data ownership and break down the dominance of greater than walled garden ecosystems,
Starting point is 00:02:52 returning value to the users who generate it and greater than making ecosystem growth more scalable. Mocha Network is the identity ecosystem of Animoca brands. As one of the launch partners of MochaChain, Mocha Network is committed to growing MochaChain's ecosystem and advancing the adoption of Moimoca brands. As one of the launch partners of Mochachain, Mocha Network is committed to growing Mochachain's ecosystem and advancing the adoption of Mochachain. Mocha Network's AirKit is integrated into offerings by various partners including Animoca Brands portfolio companies, partners, and affiliates, estimated to reach over 700 million addressable users.
Starting point is 00:03:21 Protocols and applications built on Mochachain will be able to gain access to the user networks and data of AirKit adopters, including Escape Planet's OK Cash Bag, 28 million Kite users, and OneFootball, over 200 millions users. Together with its protocol partners, MochaChain aims to solve common industry pain points for identity verifications, fragmentation, authenticity, privacy, interoperability, and self-sovereign control, with use cases spanning across multiple industries. Current use cases include health care, unified electronic health records verifiable across health care providers, recruitment, verified
Starting point is 00:03:59 education credentials and training history, finance, privacy preserved KYC, AML, and advertising, unified user data across apps for verified user onboarding. MochaChain is designed for real-world adoption, with Mocha Network's AirKit integrated into major Web2 platforms to power identity and rewards directly inside apps already familiar to millions of people. These partnerships make MochaChain the backbone of a growing ecosystem of identity-based experiences. Under the traditional paradigm, end-users of major
Starting point is 00:04:30 platforms and services, such as social networks or online retailers, are effectively locked into closed platforms where their data is siloed and monetized without their control. MochaChain seeks to give back control to end- end users by enabling them to prove the irredentity and safeguard their data in a unified identity framework. Users of Mocha chain will specify which applications are able to access their private data, and they will be able to set granular permissions over how and where the data are shared, data sharing entitles users to partner ecosystem access, benefits, or token rewards for any use of their data.
Starting point is 00:05:05 MochaChain's Composable Identity Layer will support seamless movement of user attributes such as loyalty points, social proof, and access rights across multiple DAPPs. This 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. Protocols built on Mocha chain can choose to issue or verify reusable on and off chain user data and credentials for monetization while preserving the privacy of identity and reputation data. Once data is issued to the end users, data is verifiable everywhere via zero-knowledge proofs, fostering ecosystem growth by cross-pollinating users without any direct API integrations, shifting the counterparty of verifiers from centralized
Starting point is 00:05:50 platforms to end-users. MochaChain will work alongside AirKit, the global account, identity, and reputation software development kit, SDK, of MochaNetwork. Developers can utilize AirKit to create feature-rich applications with smart accounts and verifiable credentials, while its support for plug-and-play permissions facilitates the creation of user-friendly applications. About Mocha F-O-U-N-D-A-T-I-O-N-M-O-C-A Foundation is the community-owned foundation that supports the development, adoption, and sustainable growth of Mocha Network and MochaChain. Its mission is to empower unity and collaboration while driving innovation in decentralized governance, culture, and growth.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Mocha Foundation seeks to drive the development of the largest interoperable cultural economy in the Web3 space, powered by the Mocha coin utility and governance token. Mocha Foundation is governed by Mocha DAO, where participants co-create improvement proposals and engage in cross-DAO empowerment through unique delegation models. com, Mocha Foundation about Mocha Network Mocha Network is building the world's largest chain-agnostic decentralized identity network, with infrastructure for reputation, verification for access and rewards, and interoperability across industries and ecosystems. As the identity ecosystem of Animocha brands, Mocha Network brings together over 570 portfolio companies, more than 700 million addressable users, and a diverse range of enterprise partners.
