05Prompt snippet
Use Sequence for embedded gaming wallets and smart-contract accounts. Build a config with `createConfig('waas', { projectAccessKey, waasConfigKey, chainIds: [137, 8453], defaultChainId: 137, appName: 'My Game' })` from `@0xsequence/connect`, then wrap the app in `<SequenceConnect config={config}>`. Open the wallet modal via the `useOpenConnectModal()` hook and read state through wagmi (`useAccount`, `useWalletClient`). For game inventory, use `@0xsequence/indexer` (`getTokenBalances`, `getTransactionHistory`) keyed by the same project access key. Whitelist your origin in Sequence Builder's Embedded Wallet Configuration before shipping.
06Gotchas
  • Project access keys must whitelist the exact origin (including port) — localhost, preview URLs, and production each need explicit entries or the WaaS modal stalls.
  • Smart-wallet addresses are deterministic per (project, user, chain) but only deploy on first transaction — surface that the first action costs more gas, or sponsor it.
  • Sequence is EVM-only as of 2026 — non-EVM chains (Solana, Bitcoin) are not supported by the WaaS embedded wallet.
  • The indexer has per-project rate limits; high-traffic games should cache balances server-side rather than calling the indexer per render.
  • WaaS sessions are device-bound — clearing site data or switching browsers logs the user out and requires re-authentication via email/social.
