Moca Network has launched the mainnet of Moca Chain, a blockchain built to issue, verify, update and revoke digital identity credentials. The network supports portable credentials that users can present to different applications without repeating the original identity or eligibility check.
The chain is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine and uses MOCA as its native transaction token. Moca Network’s AIR product layer supplies the integration tools businesses use to issue and accept credentials through the network.
Under the model, a trusted issuer checks a fact about a user and signs a credential. That fact might be completion of a know-your-customer check, a membership tier or ownership of an event ticket. The user holds the credential and chooses which claim to share when another application requests proof.
The receiving application checks the issuer’s signature and the credential’s revocation status. Issuers can update or revoke a credential when the underlying status changes. Moca says those functions are built into the network’s identity contracts rather than requiring each application to develop its own credential lifecycle.
Supported standards at launch include W3C Verifiable Credentials, decentralized identifiers and selectively disclosable credentials using SD-JWT VC. The network also supports zero-knowledge proof verification, allowing a verifier to check a claim without receiving the underlying information.
OpenID4VCI and OpenID4VP interoperability are on the development roadmap. Moca is also planning limited, time-bound and revocable authority for AI agents, enabling a user to authorize an agent to act within a defined scope. That delegation function is a planned extension rather than a mainnet launch feature.
The network has already developed consumer-facing credential partnerships, including an AIR Kit integration with Turkish ticketing platform Biletinial. That agreement covered credentials related to ticket ownership, attendance and other user-permissioned attributes.
Agent authorization is separately advancing through products such as DigiCert’s verifiable agent credentials for NVIDIA OpenShell, which link agents to accountable owners and policy-based permissions.
Moca Chain is built on the Cosmos SDK with CometBFT consensus and EVM execution. Developers can use Solidity contracts, Ethereum wallets and familiar tooling alongside the network’s identity functions. AIR provides the business integration layer for issuing and accepting credentials, with additional modules for payments and loyalty services.
