What is Sequence Wallet?

Sequence is a non-custodial, user-friendly, blockchain-based smart contract wallet that supports multiple chains and offers seamless integration. Sequence Wallet is based on Ethereum and Web3 standards and can be used everywhere online, including from any Web browser. You can use Sequence—without any need for modification—with all existing Ethereum web libraries, including web3.js and ethers.js.

Sequence is a smart contract wallet, and each wallet is controlled by multiple private keys. The multi-key system represents a security upgrade compared to traditional wallets, which are controlled by a single private key. With traditional wallets (i.e. Externally Owned Accounts), a user’s wallet is compromised if the single key is compromised. With multiple keys, on the other hand, it means multiple keys need to be compromised for a user’s wallet to be compromised.

As a user, you can create a Sequence Wallet by visiting sequence.app and selecting any one of the social or email login options.

As a developer, you can integrate Sequence with your dapp using the steps outlined in their documentation.

Type of Keys available for Sequence Wallet

Session keys, a Guard key, and a Torus key are used to safeguard Sequence Wallets. The Session key and Torus key are generated when creating a wallet using social login or email authentication. If one of the three keys is lost, the remaining two can be used to replace the missing one.

Here is a guide to the three keys generated with Sequence wallet creation:

• Session Keys: It is saved in the IndexedDB of the browser.
• Guard Key: a key is stored and encrypted on a server controlled by Horizon.
• Torus Key: associated with your social/email credential, Torus uses threshold cryptography to ensure that only the user has access to their private key, effectively making them non-custodial.
