Animoca Brands Japan and KDDI Corporation have forged an alliance in a bid to propel the adoption of Web3 technology. This partnership was formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Animoca Brands Japan is a strategic subsidiary of Animoca Brands. The partnership is also geared towards providing an interoperable experience for players to engage in Web3 games, culture and entertainment.

The partnership has also led to the integration of two pivotal platforms. These platforms include Mocaverse and αU (Alpha U) within the Web3 community. Mocaverse is a marquee growth network known for its interoperable infrastructure layer. The layer consist of Account, Identity, Reputation and PointFi systems. These infrastructural layers have been seeded by Animoca Brands. Additionally, Mocaverse has been integrated with Alpha U, a Metaverse and Web3 service by KDDI.

A major highlight of the alliance between Mocaverse and Alpha U is the integration of Mocaverse’s decentralized identifier (DID) with αU wallet. The Moca ID enables customers of the αU wallet to seamlessly access Web3 content. This includes games, entertainment and culture within the Mocaverse ecosystem. The MoU also promotes collaborations between the intellectual property(IP) and Web3 content of Animoca Brands and Alpha U.

These include sales of NFTs for PHANTOM GALAXIES, a Web3 game on the NFT marketplace.

The strategic partnership signifies a significant step towards catalyzing Web3 adoption. Animoca Brands is well known for its diverse portfolio of projects in areas such as blockchain gaming. Since the launch of Moca ID in November 2023, over 750,000 on-chain users have minted their unique moca name. This has also provided access for engagement in the broader Mocaverse ecosystem.
