Yaku: an open web3 cyberpunk world shaped by players

In Yaku, players enter a sprawling metaverse where Japanese mythology meets cyberpunk aesthetics — a world where advanced technology harmonizes with nature.

Set in the vibrant city of Yakushima, steeped in lore and shaped by player-driven choices, Yaku invites players to explore, compete, and engage in a dynamic in-game economy that evolves with every action taken by its inhabitants.

More than just a game: Yaku empowers players with true ownership of their assets, representing each item as an NFT. Every character advancement, gear upgrade, and item trade in this evolving world contributes to shaping Yakushima itself.

Players don’t just level up — they rise through a sophisticated social hierarchy, gaining increasing influence over the Yakuverse world. This structure puts every player’s actions at the heart of Yaku’s dynamic ecosystem, creating an experience that is fun, impactful, and distinctly personal.

For a look into the world of Yaku, check out our latest NextOnSequence Twitch stream! Dive into the thrilling gameplay, where players have the power to craft their reality in this dynamic metaverse experience.

Sequence powers Yaku's immersive web3 experience with Embedded Wallet, Unreal Engine SDK, and Marketplace API

Yaku’s partnership with Sequence unlocks a new level of engagement for players. In the Yakuverse, Sequence’s all-in-one web3 developer platform powers the game’s shared economy and social fabric that evolves with every player’s choices.

At the heart of this partnership is Sequence Embedded Wallet — a robust, player-friendly smart wallet solution that seamlessly integrates into Yaku's gaming interface, making onboarding and item management simple and accessible.

For game developers, the Embedded Wallet removes the complexity of integrating blockchain mechanics into the gameplay, allowing players to securely store, transfer, and trade their NFTs and in-game items directly within Yaku. This means a smoother user experience, no onboarding friction, and higher player engagement, as they no longer need to leave the game environment to handle blockchain transactions.

For Yaku developers, the Unreal Engine SDK is a game-changer. It simplifies the process of implementing blockchain functionality and provides tools that work directly with Unreal Engine’s native code, reducing the need for custom solutions and saving time on development. With Sequence’s SDK, developers can more easily focus on optimizing the player experience in Yakushima, allowing for the creation of breathtaking worlds and intricate game mechanics, while blockchain transactions happen smoothly in the background.

With Sequence’s Marketplace API, Yaku’s developers can seamlessly integrate an in-game marketplace within Yakushima, allowing players to trade, sell, and buy items directly in the immersive environment. This solution adds a new layer of interactivity for players and enables developers to monetize through in-game item sales and secure transactions. Players benefit from a unified trading platform within Yaku, where they can acquire rare items and powerful gear, driving deeper exploration, intense combat, and heightened competition.

“We’re beyond excited to partner with Sequence in bringing Yaku’s world of Yakushima to life. With Sequence’s innovative web3 gaming stack we let our community take a more active role in shaping Yaku’s economy and social landscape, making the gameplay experience even more immersive and player-driven. We’re building a metaverse where every decision, every transaction, and every interaction in Yakushima has real impact and meaning.”

Eli Alegria, Chief Marketing Officer at Yaku Corp

“We’re thrilled to join forces with Raijin Labs to bring a new level of immersion and player agency to Yaku. With Sequence Embedded Wallet, Unreal Engine SDK, and Marketplace API, we’re simplifying the blockchain experience, allowing Yaku’s players to dive deeply into the incredible universe of Yakushima without the typical web3 complexities”
