What is Moca Chain? ⛓️
Moca Chain is a Layer 1 EVM-compatible blockchain purpose-built for decentralized identity, enabling chain-agnostic identity data issuance and verifications.
Its architecture centers on scalable transaction throughput, fast block times, and permissionless participation for both users and ecosystem partners in order to enable participants to securely exchange, verify and monetize data without a centralized intermediaries.
Moca Chain introduces:
- Fast block times
- Async oracles designed for credential-heavy use cases
It avoids the bloat of multipurpose chains and instead creates a secure, efficient data economy where users and platforms exchange and monetize identity without intermediaries.
In short, it’s the dedicated infrastructure Web3 needs for privacy-first, scalable identity.
Goals of the Chain
- Identity Interoperability: A unified identity across ecosystems, reducing fragmentation.
- Data Storage & Security: Privacy-preserving mechanisms like zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and encryption within its protocol alongside its data storage layer.
- Holder-Centric Economy: Users control and monetize their data held in their own crypto wallet.
Key Components
Moca Chain's architecture comprises three interconnected components:
- Identity Oracle
- EVM-Compatible Blockchain
- Moca Chain Storage Providers (MCSPs)
These elements work synergistically to provide secure, scalable data management and identity verification.
At its heart, Moca Chain operates on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus using Tendermint, producing blocks every second for high throughput.
It uses the Moca ($MOCA) for gas fees, governance, staking, and storage operations, ensuring economic alignment among stakeholders.
