Animoca Brands has partnered with Sony’s Soneium blockchain to introduce robust identity infrastructure through Moca Network and enrich anime-centric experiences on Soneium. This collaboration will see the deployment of Moca Network’s identity layer on the Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain, powered by Optimism’s Superchain technology.
Moca Network will bring its Account, Identity, and Reputation SDK (AIR SDK) to the Soneium blockchain. This integration will provide users with embedded accounts, unique identities, and digital credentials as they navigate decentralized applications (dApps). The first major implementation of this technology will be through Anime ID, a decentralized identifier (DID) and reputation layer developed by San FranTokyo, a key contributor to the Anime Foundation. The goal is to deepen engagement for anime enthusiasts and allow Soneium partners to issue and validate data credentials.
“We are excited to be partnering with Animoca Brands and San FranTokyo to bring the magic of anime to Soneium,” said Masahiko Tajima, president and CEO of SBSL. “At Sony Block Solutions Labs, we are committed to expanding the possibilities of the open internet, which aligns perfectly with Sony Group's vision of using technology and creativity to move people.”

Through this initiative, users will have seamless digital identities that connect anime, gaming, and blockchain technologies.
