As we mark the third anniversary of Sekuya this 19th February 2025, it’s incredible to reflect on how far we’ve come. From humble beginnings to becoming one of key players in Web3 gaming and entertainment in Southeast Asia, Sekuya’s journey has been one of continuous evolution, from Metaverse to Gaming, and now, expanding further as a Gaming and Entertainment company.
Here’s a look at our key milestones:
2022: Community Take Over Project
In February 2022, Sekuya was born from a Web3 community initiative project, originally called SKUY. Aiming to revolutionize gaming and entertainment, we pivoted from a virtual world multiverse to an anime gaming multiverse, driven by the passion of our founders: Joshua Budiman, Lilis Huri, Nickyta Eleonora, and M. Luthfan. With the support of GGWP CLAN, we reached 30 community networks, marking the first step in our long journey.
2023: Pivoting from Metaverse to Gaming
In 2023, we faced rejection from over 200 VCs. But this didn’t stop us; instead, it fueled our determination. We graduated #1 in the ICP Incubation, securing critical exposure for Sekuya. We also had the honor of being a part of the G20 Presidential Summit for Indonesia Metaverse, expanding our reach and positioning Sekuya at the forefront of the industry. Our community grew stronger with the addition of Yohanes Hanifa from GGWP CLAN as a co-founder, enhancing our ability to innovate.
2024: A Year of Growth and Recognition
In 2024, Sekuya’s efforts were validated with remarkable achievements:
