Why Moca Chain?

Moca Chain is a Layer 1 EVM-compatible blockchain purpose-built for decentralized identity, enabling chain-agnostic identity data issuance and verifications.

Moca Chain is more than just another L1 blockchain and here are some of the key features that set it apart.

EVM Compatible

Moca Chain isn't an isolated silo—it's built to connect. This is why EVM compatibility is ensured so that existing developers can bring their familiar tools and existing Solidity smart contracts to Moca Chain and get started right away.

Decentralized Data Storage

Moca Chain stores credentials inside its decentralized storage network to:

• ✅ Ensure higher stability by making data availability consistent with chain up-time
• 🌍 Decentralize the storage of data to provide greater antifragility
• 📌 Provide a broader spectrum of options for geolocation-specific storage

All of this aligns with the vision of self-sovereign identity.

Furthermore, new and innovative uses can be available too, given the unique chain plus dStorage pairing.

Privacy and Zero-Knowledge Focus

Privacy isn’t an afterthought—it’s built into the protocol.

• Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs): Verify claims without exposing data (e.g., prove you’re 18 without sharing your birthday).
• zkTLS: Enables secure onboarding from web sources while keeping info encrypted and user-authorized.

This approach minimizes risks like data breaches while empowering true self-sovereignty.

Also currently we use Circom with Groth16 for our zkProof. More information will be provided on our zkTLS as it rolls out.

Identity Oracle

Moca Chain does not believe in walled gardens and aims to maximize networking effects and achieve chain-agnostic solutions.

The custom identity oracle is built to:

• Allow support for any chain as needed
• Enable specific use cases such as asynchronous relaying when passing identity data

Additionally, collaboration with bridging partners provides developers with all the options needed to ensure identity data can be used on destination chains, unlocking a multichain future.

Performance & Availability

Performance and features are designed with identity use cases in mind, striking a balance between speed (throughput), finality, and security/decentralization.

Leveraging CometBFT consensus, Moca Chain provides:

• ⚡ Instant finality
• ⏱️ ~1 second block time
• ⛽ 2,400 max transactions per block

This is faster than most major L1s, which have 2 second+ block times and have the added benefit of instant finality.

Conclusion

Moca Chain isn’t just another blockchain, it’s the infrastructure for a privacy-first, interconnected digital world.

By addressing real pain points with thoughtful design, Moca paves the way for broader adoption of decentralized identity and credentials.
