Sequence Buying Light To Address Blockchain Fragmentation 

By Amit Chowdhry • Apr 8, 2025

Horizon Blockchain Games (a pioneer of web3 infrastructure and gaming) announced that it will now operate solely under the name Sequence. Along with the rebrand, Sequence expands its technical leadership with the strategic acquisition of Light, a pioneer of chain abstraction technologies.  

The acquisition represents a decisive step toward solving blockchain fragmentation and achieving a unified and seamless Ethereum experience for developers and users. And the rebrand reflects the evolution of the Sequence infrastructure stack into web3’s leading open-source development platform for blockchains, ecosystems, games, and apps. 

Since its founding, Sequence has championed innovation in blockchain gaming and infrastructure, building products like the award-winning game Skyweaver and the Sequence web3 development platform. With Sequence achieving a market leadership, the company decided to consolidate its brand around the names developers and partners know and trust. 

Along with the rebrand, Sequence strengthens its platform by integrating Light, a team known for pioneering chain abstraction in the EVM ecosystem. 

The fragmentation of Ethereum, its assets, users, and liquidity across many Layer 1s, Layer 2s, and Layer 3s made transactions and wallet interactions more complex than they should be. And by bringing Light under its brand, Sequence simplifies cross-chain development, enabling developers to harness the full potential of the EVM ecosystem and access the full purchasing power across all chains and all wallets. 

Light’s chain abstraction expertise, combined with Sequence’s proven account abstraction, real-time indexing, and transaction delivery infrastructure, makes the platform now offer unmatched tools for developers building seamless and scalable on-chain applications. 

KEY QUOTES: 

This name change is a commitment to clarity—and our mission to unify blockchain ecosystems and empower builders across web3. We’re excited to push the boundaries of onchain development. Whether you’re building a chain, launching a game or app, or scaling an ecosystem, Sequence is here to power the next generation of blockchain experiences. 

Users should be able to transact on any chain, from any wallet, using any liquid asset—with just one click. With Light’s expertise, we are making this possible. We are unifying Ethereum as one and unleashing its network effects. 

  • Peter Kieltyka, Co-founder and CEO at Sequence 

Developers need access to all of Ethereum and its buying power, and users want intuitive and seamless experiences. That’s the web3 we’re building—fast, accessible, and seamlessly interoperable.
