💫 Sekuya
<aside> 🪐 How our attitude has shaped us up until the present day: As we embarked on our journey into the web3 crypto space in 2021, we brought with us a diverse background of 7-14 years of entrepreneurial experience. This immersive experience opened our eyes to the immense potential of the crypto space, despite its volatility and the presence of countless unreliable projects. It was this realization that fueled our desire to contribute to this revolution and make a positive impact.
Our story begins with GGWP CLAN, a web3 clan where fewer than 100 members collaborated to support and uplift low-cap projects through promotion, advice, and content creation. At GGWP CLAN, we highly value attitude and action. In less than a year, we successfully supported 11 projects, with some experiencing unprecedented growth ranging from 18X to 225X.
One remarkable project even saw its surge to highest record of $160 million market cap. However, during this process, we noticed a common gap among these projects - a self-centered approach that often jeopardized the community's trust.

Sekuya, one of the projects we advised at GGWP CLAN, brought us all together. Originally, there were four developers from different countries who shared the vision of creating a project. While they focused on tokenomics and smart contracts, GGWP CLAN contributed to the concept, marketing, and community-building aspects. Unfortunately, the project's initial launch was disappointing, despite collecting 150 BNB during the bear market in February 2022. Sensing the confusion within the community, I took it upon myself to be at the forefront of the situation, even though I was not a developer.
Soon, Lilis reached out and asked if we were willing to take over the project. Without hesitation, I accepted the responsibility, as I firmly believe that reputation is more valuable than abandoning a sinking ship, as the previous developers had done. Upon discussing the takeover with the community, we were met with an overwhelmingly positive response. We migrated the old token to a new smart contract and relaunched the project on February 19, 2022. Within a week, we organically grew from a $100k market cap to $3 million, solely through the support of the community.
Throughout the year, we revamped every aspect of the project, honing our vision, mission, and values to align with Sekuya. During the bear market, I concurrently assisted WIR Group as the Head of Meta Space Solution together with Yohanes as Meta Space Research, we collaborated with the whole team on creating concepts and metaverse blueprints. This resulted in notable showcases such as the Jakarta Fashion Week Metaverse, Kadinverse, and the Nusameta G20 Prototype. I am grateful for the opportunity to work and learn under the guidance of my mentor, Daniel Surya.
Since 2022, the Sekuya community has expanded from a single GGWP CLAN community to encompass 20 community networks. Our goal is to continue growing and reach 1,000 community networks, as we firmly believe that the key to success for any web3 project or gaming company lies within the supportive community. Moreover, we prioritize positive and educational engagement, which serves as the cornerstone of the Sekuya main community. By setting an example of a thriving web3 community that inspires others, we aim to make a lasting impact.
By the end of 2023, we reached 100 community networks milestone, spanning across 10 countries. Sekuya's pre-launch revenue has already reached an impressive $500k, and we have been honored with six awards in 2023, including the No 1 CertiK Community Votes, the top rank in the ICP Incubation Program, and the distinction of being named the No 1 Indonesia Most Valuable Partner by Coinstore.
We have partnered with Agate, a renowned game studio in Indonesia, to bring our dream to life. Together, we are developing an exciting MOBA RPG game, with the pre-alpha version scheduled for release in early 2024. We are dedicated to creating an immersive gaming experience and have ambitious plans to attract a large user base. By leveraging the expertise and reputation of Agate, we aim to position ourselves as a leading player in the gaming industry. With our strong foundation and continuous development, we are confident in our ability to capture the attention of audience and achieve significant growth in the market.
What sets our journey apart is that it has been built purely through community. As we continue to grow, our mission is to keep expanding alongside our community, on a wider, larger, and global scale. Our ultimate objective is to achieve 1 million active users and become a billion-dollar gaming company. Just as we created the name Sekuya, it is a combination of "Sequoia Tree," one of the largest trees in the world (meaning: strong and sustainable), with "Sakuya" from Japanese (咲夜 meaning: flourish). We hope everything we create will be strong, sustainable, and flourish.
