Horizon Blockchain Games has officially rebranded as Sequence, marking a significant step in the company's strategic evolution. Established in 2017, Horizon has been a notable contributor to the web3 space, particularly in blockchain gaming and infrastructure. The name change reflects the organization's transition into an open-source development platform that supports blockchains, ecosystems, games, and applications across the web3 landscape. The rebrand aligns the company's identity with its widely adopted Sequence platform, already well-known among developers and industry partners.

Rebranding to Sequence
The decision to consolidate operations under the Sequence name follows the platform's growing recognition within the web3 developer community. Sequence has built scalable blockchain products, including the web3 game Skyweaver and an infrastructure platform used by thousands of developers. The rebrand represents a shift toward a unified identity that reflects the company's core mission.
Peter Kieltyka, Co-founder and CEO of Sequence, explained that the rebrand simplifies the company's identity while reinforcing its focus on connecting blockchain ecosystems. The goal is to give builders across web3 the tools to develop applications, games, and entire ecosystems more efficiently. Sequence plans to expand its development infrastructure to create a more connected and accessible blockchain environment.

Acquisition of Light
Alongside the rebrand, Sequence has acquired Light, a company specializing in chain abstraction technologies. The acquisition targets fragmentation issues within the Ethereum ecosystem. As Ethereum has expanded across multiple Layer 1s, Layer 2s, and Layer 3s, developers and users have faced challenges with asset transfers, wallet compatibility, and cross-chain interactions. Integrating Light into Sequence aims to solve these problems by providing tools that enable seamless cross-chain development.
Light's technology allows users to interact with different chains and wallets through a unified interface. Peter Kieltyka stressed the importance of this capability, stating that users should be able to transact across any chain, from any wallet, using any liquid asset in a single step. The goal is to reduce friction in blockchain interactions and create a more intuitive experience for both users and developers.
Enhancing developer tools
Shun Kakinoki, founder of Light and now Head of Cross-Chain at Sequence, pointed to the increasing demand for streamlined developer experiences. Developers need access to the full Ethereum ecosystem and its liquidity, while users want simplicity. Combining Light's chain abstraction with Sequence's existing infrastructure (account abstraction, real-time indexing, and transaction delivery) creates a platform designed to support scalable and accessible onchain applications.
This integrated development stack reduces the barriers associated with building on fragmented blockchain environments. By offering unified tools and infrastructure, Sequence enables the creation of web3 experiences that are interoperable, consistent, and user-friendly. The Light acquisition positions Sequence to advance its objective of letting developers build once and deploy across multiple chains without added complexity.
