Sequence

What Sequence does

Sequence is a Toronto-based blockchain infrastructure company, founded in 2017, that provides a unified web3 development platform for embedding cryptocurrency wallet, payment, and marketplace functionality into games and applications. Its core technology stack combines non-custodial embedded wallets (using Trusted Execution Environment and Account Abstraction to eliminate seed phrases and enable social/email login), a real-time multi-chain indexer claimed to be 3X faster than industry averages, a universal 1-click cross-chain payment platform (Trails), gasless transaction relayer infrastructure, and a comprehensive suite of SDKs covering TypeScript/JavaScript, React, Unity, Unreal Engine, Go, and React Native. The Sequence Builder developer console serves as the central dashboard for deploying smart contracts, configuring gas sponsorship, managing NFT collections, and accessing analytics, while APIs expose indexer, transactions, marketplace, metadata, analytics, and node gateway functionality across 40+ EVM chains.

The company targets four primary verticals: Web3 gaming studios (its dominant segment, anchored by Ubisoft, Take-Two Interactive, Immutable, Tap Nation, and QORPO World), DeFi protocols, blockchain ecosystems/L2s/L3s (Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, Skale), and emerging stablecoin/payment platforms. Revenue is generated through a mix of subscription-based platform fees (Sequence Builder tiered access) and usage-based charges (RPC node queries, indexer calls, transaction relayer fees, gas sponsorship), supplemented by enterprise and strategic-partnership engagements. Distribution is predominantly product-led and developer-first via self-serve documentation, GitHub, Discord, Unity Asset Store, and Unreal Engine Marketplace (where Sequence holds the only verified EVM-based embedded wallet solution). The company employs 101-250 people, has raised approximately $53M across four funding rounds through 2022 (with strategic investors including Ubisoft, Take-Two, Xsolla, and Polygon), acquired LightDotSo in April 2025, and is itself subject to a pending acquisition by Polygon Labs announced in January 2026 for over $250 million to power the Polygon Open Money Stack.
