# Introduction

Sequentia is a Bitcoin sidechain network and corresponding ecosystem of applications dedicated to tokenized assets – like stablecoins and stock tokens – and peer-to-peer transactions, including direct, real-time atomic swaps and lightning swaps between BTC and tokens issued on Sequentia.

The Sequentia Network's initial development and launch are being promoted by Concatena Labs, Inc., a Delaware corporation. However, Sequentia is a fully Free and Open Source (FOSS) project and anyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or distribute this software, either in source code form or as a compiled binary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, and by any means.
