The Confession of Focus: Why We’re Betting Everything on Identity
A concise adaptation of Kenneth Shek’s article, originally published on X on September 30, 2026.
AIR and Moca Network are concentrating on identity after pursuing too many directions. Kenneth Shek’s article calls for a focused team, practical applications and business outcomes that can repeat.
Why focus on identity?
The opportunity extends beyond compliance. Identity can help businesses recognize eligible customers, give users access to benefits and let organizations exchange trusted information with controls.
In this model, AIR is the interface businesses use to apply identity, while Moca Chain supplies the underlying trust and credential infrastructure.
What do AI agents need?
Agents need to demonstrate whom they represent, which actions they may take and whether the claims they present are trustworthy. Shek argues that portable credentials and revocable permissions can support those checks across applications.
The priority is to turn that infrastructure into useful products, build with distribution partners and learn from customer requirements.
