Description
This summer, Moca Network is hosting its first-ever Identity House — right on the French Riviera. Just before EthCC arrives in Cannes, we're gathering builders for a five-day, in-person sprint to tackle one of the most critical challenges in the digital age: on-chain identity.
Introducing the Identity House, happening June 27 – July 1, 2025, in Cannes, France. Join developers, protocol engineers, and zk tinkerers to build real tools for real use cases — from verifiable credentials to social recovery, access control, and beyond.
Web3 is scaling fast, but identity hasn’t kept up. Most users are still interacting with the ecosystem through throwaway wallets and fragmented accounts, while projects rely on incomplete data to gate access or verify trust.
Moca Network is focused on solving this. With AIR Kit, developers can issue and verify portable, privacy-preserving credentials that reflect real user actions — all without exposing underlying data.
Identity is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s the layer that makes everything else work — and we’re inviting builders to shape what it looks like.
The Identity House is a five-day, in-person builder sprint for developers ready to ship at the edge of identity tech.
From low-level protocol primitives to high-impact UX flows, you'll be building alongside the Moca Network core team, experimenting with cutting-edge tools, and helping shape what identity infrastructure looks like for the real world.
Be an early adopter, get hands-on support, and ship something that could redefine how identity works across games, DeFi, education, healthcare, and beyond.
