Company profile
researched Aug 2026Sequence (sequence.xyz) is a web3 development platform that supplies infrastructure building blocks for onchain applications: smart contract wallets for ecosystems and developers, a payments layer for one-click crypto transactions across tokens, wallets and chains, and a real-time multi-chain indexer providing balances, token prices, contract events and webhooks across EVM chains. The company packages these into vertical solutions for chains (branded ecosystem hubs, wallets and liquidity), DeFi (swaps, vaults, lending with cross-chain data), stablecoins (one-click transfers and settlement) and gaming (player onboarding, gasless purchases and token economies).
The platform's developer surface includes the no-code Sequence Builder, a CLI (npx sequence-cli), and SDKs for Web, Node.js, Go, Unity, Unreal, React Native and Kotlin, plus sequence.js and open-source smart contract wallet contracts. The public 0xsequence GitHub organization hosts 119 repositories and a large library of boilerplates and demos covering embedded wallets, white-label marketplaces, primary NFT sales, server-side transaction relaying, fiat on-ramps and in-game marketplaces.
Sequence is a product of Horizon Blockchain Games (also referred to as Horizon), whose own products β the trading card game Skyweaver and the collectibles marketplace Niftyswap β run on the platform. Earlier descriptions of the platform emphasize gaming use cases: smart contract deployment, wallet solutions including a Vault and a Wallet-as-a-Service, in-game marketplaces with enforced royalties, payment support for fiat, crypto and cards, and batched and gasless transactions. A banner on the company's site states that Polygon Labs is acquiring Sequence to power the "Open Money Stack."
Founding story
Sequence originated as internal tooling: the team set out in 2017 to build Skyweaver, a web3 video game, found no developer tools that enabled the seamless user experiences it wanted, and built its own β making the team its own first customer. Architecture work on Sequence began in January 2018 at Horizon, the parent company.
Business model
Sequence sells developer infrastructure and platform services β wallets, payments and data indexing β to companies building onchain applications, offering both self-serve building blocks (SDKs, CLI, Builder console, boilerplates) and direct engagement ("talk with us about your roadmap"). Pricing terms are not disclosed in the available sources.
Not disclosed in the available sources; the company markets paid-looking developer platform services (wallets, payments, indexing) and invites prospects to contact sales, but no pricing or revenue mechanics are stated.
Traction
The company reports hundreds of games and apps, thousands of developers, millions of users and players, and billions of dollars in volume. Cited deployments include Skyweaver, which minted over a million items and ran an in-game marketplace on Sequence; Hunters On-Chain, a web3 action RPG reported to have seen a 4.5x increase in day-30 retention and a 7.2x rise in average revenue per user after integrating; Niftyswap; and DAZN Boxing, which uses Sequence Wallet to onboard users to its NFT collections. Polygon and Ubisoft are named among brands using the platform.
Latest developments
Sequence's website carries a notice that Polygon Labs is acquiring Sequence to power the Open Money Stack. The product line has broadened beyond gaming tooling to ecosystem smart wallets, one-click cross-chain payments and a real-time multi-chain indexer, with vertical offerings for chains, DeFi, stablecoins and gaming; a Somnia Builder is referenced as new. Repository activity in the 0xsequence GitHub organization continued through August 2026, including a Trails documentation repo, a Kotlin SDK for embedded wallets and a fork of a Solana relayer implementation.

Market position
Sequence describes itself as the complete web3 development platform for chains, games and apps, and claims to power hundreds of games and apps, thousands of developers, millions of users and players and billions of dollars in volume across the EVM ecosystem. Third-party coverage frames it as a web3 game development platform trusted by brands including Polygon and Ubisoft, and lists it alongside other blockchain infrastructure and wallet providers such as Chainstack, Blockdaemon and Venly.
Sequence bundles wallets, payments and multi-chain data into one developer platform rather than a single primitive, emphasizes eliminating wallet fragmentation via one account across an ecosystem with sandboxed sessions and account recovery, supports fiat, crypto and card payments plus batched and gasless transactions, and offers no-code (Builder) as well as SDK paths across web, mobile and game engines. It also cites having been built from first-hand game-development need at Horizon.
Technology
Core components are smart contract wallets for EVM chains (open-source wallet-contracts in Solidity) with single-account ecosystem sign-in, account recovery and sandboxed sessions; an embedded/universal wallet with web2-style login (email, Google, Apple); a payments layer supporting swaps, funding and payment in any token from any wallet on any chain; and a real-time multi-chain indexer exposing balances, token prices, contract events and webhooks. Supporting tooling includes sequence.js, SDKs in TypeScript, Go, C#, C++, Kotlin and React Native, an Ethereum dev toolkit for Go (ethkit), a public multi-chain token directory, transaction relaying APIs and account abstraction infrastructure. The platform has been described as supporting Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon and Avalanche.
Go-to-market
Distribution is developer-led: open-source SDKs and 119 public repositories on GitHub, a CLI, documentation, YouTube tutorials, boilerplates and demos, and the no-code Sequence Builder for onboarding, complemented by direct sales conversations and partnerships with blockchain ecosystems that adopt Sequence to accelerate their developer communities (for example a Somnia Builder cited by Somnia founder Paul Thomas).
Game studios and application builders of all sizes, blockchain ecosystems and chains seeking to accelerate their developer communities, and developers building DeFi, stablecoin and consumer onchain apps on EVM networks.
Geography
A third-party profile lists Sequence.xyz as based in Canada. The company positions itself around the EVM ecosystem of blockchains rather than a specific geography.
History
The team began building the technology for its own needs: in 2017 it set out to build Skyweaver, a web3 video game, and, lacking developer tooling for seamless user experiences, built its own. The company states it started architecting Sequence in January 2018 to serve Horizon, the parent company behind Sequence, and the platform is described elsewhere as launching in 2021. In October 2023 Horizon Blockchain Games received the Gamechangers 2024 Award for Best Blockchain/Web3 Technology, and in January 2024 Greg Canessa joined as President & COO. Sequence's website subsequently announced that Polygon Labs is acquiring the company.
Risks & controversies
The announced acquisition by Polygon Labs introduces ownership and strategic uncertainty. No other risks or controversies are documented in the available sources. Note that several similarly named but unrelated companies exist (an Israeli consumer/SMB fintech named Sequence and a US holding company named Sequence Holdings); their funding data does not apply to sequence.xyz.
