The ongoing evolution of the Internet involves a shift from hierarchical power structures to autonomous ones, and the DAO-based approach of Mocaverse ensures that its community will be focused on driving innovation and collaboration across the broader Animoca Brands ecosystem.”

In the same presser, Mocaverse announced a ready plan to launch Moca ID, a non-transferable NFT collection designed to enable users to craft their on-chain identities and participate in the Mocaverse ecosystem. The NFT collection will enable holders to earn loyalty points through active engagement.
