About this episode
Kenneth Shek discusses the innovative approach of Moca Network in building decentralized identity infrastructure for Web3.
It's harder than you think to build a global identity business. But Moca Network have created something different to the thousands who have gone before, and you need to hear their story... Kenneth Shek is the CEO of Moca Network: chain-agnostic, decentralised identity infrastructure (DID) that allows users to manage on-chain reputation and data. Powered by zkProofs, it acts as a unified, privacy-preserving login system ("Moca ID") for 600+ projects in the Animoca ecosystem. While the rest of the industry debates token prices and chain wars, Moca is tackling the unsolved problem underneath it all: how do you know who someone actually is across Web3, without handing that data to Google or Meta? In this show we discuss: - Kenneth's journey into Web3 and digital identity - Animoca Brands 101 and the Moca Network origin story - Challenges building and scaling Digital Identity (and why Blockchain) - Use cases from the Moca Network that are live today - What more is needed to see DIDs reach mass adoption With over 1 billion users, this isn't a whitepaper project... it's a live, scaling protocol with a full mainnet launch on the horizon for 2026. Don't miss this one!...
