Our take
With blockchain, cryptocurrencies, NFTs and video game items, virtual worlds are becoming more real and valuable than ever before. This can be intimidating and complex for newcomers, thereby reducing the speed of Web 3.0 adoption. Horizon Blockchain Games hopes to make it easier to create Web 3.0 apps and games, with a developer platform and smart wallet to help people build for the new internet.
The company provides developers with the tools to build in Web 3.0, alongside the opportunity to share in the value generated by the networks they participate in. The developer platform, Sequence, is a complete stack for creating digital experiences, with solutions for wallets, marketplaces, collectibles, payments, data infrastructure, and more. Its NFT trading card game, Skyweaver, is a place where users can win, own, trade, sell and gift NFT cards - which is an interesting take on this side of Web 3.0.
Through its offerings, Horizon Blockchain Games is aiming is to bring the symbiotic economies and power of Web 3.0 and cryptocurrency together for everyday internet users on the decentralized web. As virtual worlds become increasingly commonplace, it should find plenty of opportunity for growth; and its ability to secure funding when interest in NFTs was in general decline showcases that investors have faith in its direction.
