As part of the agreement, the MOCA Foundation and TON Foundation have arranged a strategic token swap. This involves swapping MOCA Coin (MOCA) priced at $0.113, totaling a massive $1 billion. This significant token swap highlights the scale and seriousness of the partnership.

Mocaverse plans to integrate Moca ID into the TON blockchain. This integration will enhance interoperability between the two networks. Both Moca ID and TON's Society ID will work together to improve user experiences across the ecosystems. 

Additionally, Mocaverse, Animoca Brands, and the TON Foundation are exploring how to integrate the Realm Network SDK into the TON blockchain. This integration will serve as the central source of reputation and make it easier to connect different apps on the TON chain.

The three foundations involved plan to launch several initiatives. These include co-branded hackathons, an accelerator program, joint airdrop programs, and incentives for developers and users. To kickstart these ventures, $20 million worth of MOCA and TON tokens will be used.

Yat Siu was excited about the collaboration, emphasizing how it may promote digital property rights and encourage widespread adoption of web 3. He highlighted the potential to greatly increase the networks' benefits by making Moca ID and the Realm Network SDK available to Telegram's 900 million users.

Steve Yun shared that TON’s vision aligns with Animoca Brands' focus on digital property rights. He believes this partnership shows that TON is becoming a preferred platform for games and social apps.
