MOAC

MOAC is a blockchain platform and cryptocurrency project that aims to provide scalable, interoperable infrastructure for decentralized applications. It seeks to address throughput and cross-chain interoperability by employing a multi-chain architecture that distributes workloads across multiple chains while maintaining a coordinating main chain.

The architecture consists of a main chain that coordinates activity and a set of subchains, each optimized for different applications or functions. Subchains process transactions in parallel, enabling higher overall throughput, while a cross-chain mechanism enables secure interaction between chains. Developers can deploy smart contracts on the main chain or on subchains, depending on the use case, supported by a suite of developer tools and virtual machine environments designed to be accessible to programmers.

The MOAC token (MOAC) is the native cryptocurrency of the network. It is used to pay transaction fees and to fuel smart contract execution. In some configurations, MOAC also serves to incentivize validators or other network participants and to support governance processes that allow stakeholders to influence protocol updates.

History and status: MOAC emerged in the mid-2010s as part of the broader effort to scale blockchain platforms and enable diverse decentralized applications. The project released testnets and mainnet iterations and built an ecosystem of wallets, explorers, and tooling. Like many platforms in this space, MOAC faced competitive pressure from other smart contract platforms and market fluctuations, and its level of ongoing development activity has varied over time.
