SK Planet and Mocaverse are planning to onboard SK Planet’s 28 million KYC’d members to Web3 by integrating the full stack of Mocaverse’s Realm SDK into the SK Planet digital ecosystem, which includes a global account, identity, and reputation layer that enables users to accumulate, own, and use their assets across multiple ecosystems and applications.

In addition to tapping into the network effects across Animoca Brands’ ecosystem of 540+ portfolio companies and Moca Network’s 80+ partners, SK Planet will join as a Realm SDK partner alongside One Football and MyAnimeList to cross-pollinate a combined ~250 million monthly active users on these platforms and provide priority access to a variety of Web3 experiences including gaming, IP-based products and services, sports, music, and more.
Additionally, SK Planet will look to adopt MOCA Foundation’s MOCA Coin as the utility currency for its internet services; MOCA Coin will be the first crypto token used within SK Planet’s Internet services and will serve as one of the core user rewards for consumer onboarding for popular SK Planet services including OK Cashbag, Syrup, and others.
Kenneth Shek, project lead for Mocaverse, said: “We are thrilled to have SK Planet, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea with thousands of merchant partners, joining the Realm Network, sharing unified account, identity, and reputation with millions of users. We anticipate this initiative will accelerate the flywheel of Mocaverse’s ecosystem. South Korea is a critical consumer market for Web3 with a rich culture of IP and content, and SK Planet is the best partner we could ask for to kick off our collective mission in the country.”
Kim Kyo-soo, CBO of SK Planet, said: “Through our close partnership with Animoca Brands and Mocaverse, which aims to expand customer experiences in the Korean market, we will strive to establish ourselves as an effective channel and deliver innovative solutions that resonate with local consumers.”
