The future of web3 just got a serious upgrade in the payments department.

Forte, via its subsidiary LemmaX, has teamed up with developer-focused web3 platform Sequence to embed FortePay directly into Sequence’s core infrastructure. The goal? Streamline and scale crypto and fiat transactions with the kind of compliance, UX polish, and multi-chain support most developers only dream of.

The move marks a significant leap in creating a more accessible, secure, and intuitive web3 ecosystem—something many in the space have talked about, but few have delivered with this level of integration.

Why It Matters: Web3 Needs Infrastructure, Not Hype

In an industry often long on vision and short on practical rails, this partnership is about infrastructure that actually works. Sequence is already processing over $5.3 billion in transaction volume, and now, with FortePay integrated, developers will be able to plug into a payment solution that handles everything from fiat-to-crypto conversions to NFT purchases and token transactions—all while staying compliant.

That’s no small feat in a regulatory minefield. FortePay comes armed with global card network support, integrated local payments, and asset-based ID verification. It also offers graduated KYC flows, meaning onboarding doesn’t have to be a one-size-fits-all nightmare.

“The goal is to make web3 monetization as intuitive as anything in traditional finance,” said Taylan Pince, CTO at Sequence. “This integration lets developers focus on building great apps, not babysitting back-end payment logic.”

What’s New: End-to-End, Multi-Chain, Developer-First Payments

FortePay isn’t just another API slapped on top of a blockchain. This is end-to-end infrastructure, purpose-built for multi-chain web3 apps. Out of the gate, it supports heavyweights like Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Moonbeam, with more networks—including upstarts like Somnia and ApeChain—coming soon.

At launch, developers using Sequence will gain:

• Fiat on-ramps and off-ramps with global reach
• Crypto-fiat conversion within a single payment flow
• NFT purchases using fiat or crypto
• Dynamic compliance tools with built-in KYC/AML
• Support for regulated and unregulated transactions under one roof

In other words: It’s PayPal meets Web3, minus the UX horror stories and compliance chaos.

The Bigger Picture: Web3 Grows Up

The integration comes as the industry enters a critical maturation phase. As VCs cool their crypto enthusiasm and regulators circle, the conversation has shifted from hype to infrastructure.

Players like Stripe, Circle, and PayPal are dipping their toes into crypto rails—but what Forte and Sequence are building is natively web3, not web2 retrofitted with blockchain gloss.

And then there’s LemmaX, Forte’s regulatory arm. With full U.S. coverage (including New York’s BitLicense), EU licenses, and baked-in KYC, the partnership brings a level of regulatory readiness most platforms lack. That gives developers—and the enterprises backing them—confidence to deploy at scale.

“Web3 isn’t going mainstream unless it’s safe, compliant, and user-friendly,” said Bela Pandya, CEO of Forte. “With this partnership, we’re laying that foundation.”

Developer Implications: Focus on Apps, Not Infrastructure

For web3 devs, the FortePay-Sequence integration is essentially a cheat code. Rather than juggling half a dozen payment services, compliance checks, and multi-chain SDKs, they get one cohesive toolkit.

That opens the door to richer in-game economies, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi platforms where the UX finally feels like it belongs in 2025—not 2017.

As web3’s infrastructure layer quietly matures, so too do the opportunities for developers to focus on what actually matters: creating sticky, engaging, scalable applications.
