At Horizon, we’re building a new dimension where Internet economies are fun, accessible, and for the benefit of all participants.

We have two amazing products to make this real:

 

Sequence, the all-in-one developer platform + smart wallet that makes building web3 games and applications easy.

 

Skyweaver, a digital trading card game—powered by Sequence—where players can win, own, and trade their NFT/SFT game items.

 

Sequence is poised to drive web3 adoption on a massive scale by making blockchain easy, fun and powerful for users and developers. And, Skyweaver is a groundbreaking video game with an unprecedented player-owned economy, novel gameplay, and an already fervent community.

 

While the challenge is hard, we find it incredibly fun. And, we have the ingredients to make it happen: a well-capitalized company with some of the best investors in the world, including Brevan Howard Digital, Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., Coinbase, Ubisoft, Polygon, Morgan Creek Digital, Initialized, BITKRAFT, and more; an amazing team of leaders in the web3 space; engineers who have built widely popular open source; a former top McKinsey strategy consultant; gaming industry veterans; and founders who have built and sold successful companies. You’ll get to work with and learn from them all. Learn more at https://horizon.io/
