SK Planet to purchase MOCA Coin on open market to adopt Moca Network’s enterprise-scale decentralized identity infrastructure

Seoul, South Korea, October 2nd, 2025, Chainwire

SK Planet of SK Group, South Korea’s second largest listed company, today announced that it will purchase MOCA Coin (MOCA) on the open market to enable SK Planet to participate in Moca Network's decentralized identity network for credential issuance and verification. Moca Network is a flagship project by Animoca Brands that is building the world’s largest chain-agnostic decentralized digital identity network. 

The acquisition of MOCA is part of SK Planet's initiative to adopt Moca Network's enterprise-grade decentralized identity infrastructure, including AIR Account and AIR Identity, across its ecosystem, introducing zero-knowledge proof technology and decentralized identity verification to SK Planet's 28 million users as well as a high standard for user data ownership and interoperability.

Through the integration of Moca Network’s AIR Account and AIR Identity, SK Planet will enable its 95,000 merchant partners to verify their users’ private data with their explicit permission, ensuring that data ownership remains under user control and ownership. User data generated on SK Planet’s platform will also be directly verifiable by other AIR Kit partners, making privacy-preserved data interoperable across SK Planet’s ecosystem and beyond.

Kyosu Kim, chief business officer at SK Planet, said: “Partnering with Moca Network enables SK Planet to bring decentralized identity and privacy-preserving verification to our millions of customers and merchant partners. By leveraging AIR Kit and AIR Wallet, we can expand the benefits of OKI Club and reward our users with MOCA Coin while giving them greater control over their data. This is a strategic step forward in aligning with global standards for user privacy and digital identity.”

Kenneth Shek, project lead of Moca Network, said: “SK Planet’s purchase of MOCA Coin as well as SK Planet’s integration of AIR Kit infrastructure and adoption of zero-knowledge proofs mark an important milestone in returning data ownership to users at an enterprise scale. By joining Moca Network’s identity ecosystem and enabling merchant-side verification with user consent, SK Planet is demonstrating how large consumer platforms can adopt decentralized identity to deliver both privacy and utility. This is a powerful validation of our mission to build a global interoperable identity layer powered by MOCA.”

Building on the successful launch of OKI Club integrated with AIR Wallet in February 2025, SK Planet will further integrate Moca Network’s AIR Identity into its services, enabling users to verify their identity and earn rewards from multiple platforms, and utilize wallet features to manage the received rewards, including via token swaps, staking, and other functionalities.
