Sequence x ApeChain: Breaking new ground in the web3 gaming ecosystem
August 1 2024

The first few days of the month deserves a one-of-a-kind partnership announcement — Sequence is live with full ApeChain support on the Curtis testnet!
Today, we’re excited to announce the integration of ApeChain into Sequence and the upcoming launch of Ape Builder, a custom full-stack game development platform for ApeChain and the Ape ecosystem, in collaboration with ApeChain, the ApeCoin DAO, and its Metaverse Steward.
We’re going 🍌bananas🍌 for this partnership! Here’s what you need to know👇
About ApeChain: Built for the web3 creator economy
Developed on Arbitrum Orbit, ApeChain leverages the advanced capabilities of Arbitrum’s Layer 2 (L2) solutions, One and Nova, to establish a specialized Layer 3 (L3) appchain. This configuration enhances interoperability and performance, essential for supporting the growth-oriented decentralized applications envisioned for the ApeCoin ecosystem. With the Curtis testnet now launched — and officially supported by Sequence — game developers and web3 enthusiasts can explore ApeChain's potential as it prepares for its mainnet release.
At its core, ApeChain is a dedicated infrastructure layer to power the ApeCoin ecosystem, offering high performance, ultra-low fees, and a dedicated infrastructure layer for upcoming dapps within the APE ecosystem with supporting partners spanning Sequence, Caldera, Arbitrum, and more.
Powered by Sequence: ApeChain in web3 gaming
Earlier this year, the ApeCoin DAO community unanimously voted for Sequence to create the officially branded Ape Builder platform, as outlined in the AIP 418 proposal.
This initiative is a crucial step towards enabling developers to build the best games and experiences on ApeChain. The ApeChain community and leaders recognize the importance of equipping developers with comprehensive tools to drive the utility and success of ApeChain and ApeCoin, and have entrusted Sequence to provide the necessary technology to ensure its onboarding, monetization, retention, and ultimate success.
Ape Builder includes Sequence’s battle-tested and secure end-to-end solutions to help game developers onboard, monetize, and retain players and users. These solutions feature the world’s most gas-efficient and secure non-custodial smart contract wallet, NFT collection creation and minting, custom marketplaces, payments, advanced analytics, and more.
“Ape Builder is the ultimate expression of the ApeCoin DAO’s commitment to ensuring that the ApeChain ecosystem can flourish,” said Sam Barberie, Head of Strategy and Partnerships at Sequence, and co-author of the Ape Builder AIP 418. “It’s been amazing working with a very passionate group who know how rewarding experiences should be built, and we’re excited to support them.”
ApeCoin, as well as custom ERC20 tokens, is natively supported by Sequence and the Ape Builder, allowing developers to leverage the liquidity of ApeCoin — and bring increased utility to the currency — in any game or app. Sequence’s integration with ApeChain allows any developer to leverage the chain and the Ape community’s powerful network of support for games and experiences akin to flipping a switch.
“I'm excited to see the creators bring to life their vision thanks to Ape Builder, a set of best-in-class tools in a best-in-class chain,” said Dim.eth, Metaverse Steward of the ApeCoin DAO and co-author of the Ape Builder AIP 418.
The evolution of the Ape community in web3 gaming together with Sequence
We’re thrilled about this new partnership and look forward to supporting ApeChain from its testnet phase throughout mainnet, and beyond. Sequence has been a dedicated supporter of Ape from the beginning, consistently backing projects, players, and its communities.
Game developers interested in building on ApeChain can still apply for the Ape Builder Launch Partner program here — only available until the launch of mainnet.
