Quick answers

Did Peter Kieltyka co-found Sequence?

Yes. Sequence's post announcing its rename, published April 8, 2025 and checked September 23, 2026, says "When founding Horizon in 2017" and titles him "Co-founder & CEO at Sequence". BlockchainGamerBiz reported on December 30, 2023 that Kieltyka said the team started ideating in the summer of 2017 and had everything ready to go in January 2018.

What is his role today?

Polygon Labs' announcement of January 13, 2026, that it would acquire Sequence and Coinme for more than $250 million, quoted him as Sequence's co-founder and CEO. Fortune reported the same day that the deals had closed. Sequence's homepage, checked September 23, 2026, carries the acquisition banner but lists no leadership, so his title since the sale is not confirmed here.

How did he pitch Skyweaver?

BlockchainGamerBiz reported on July 23, 2019 that Kieltyka, then CEO of Toronto-based Horizon Blockchain Games, said trading-card games were a big enough genre for several titles and that Skyweaver aimed to cut the cost of building a deck to about $30 rather than $300.
