Opera expands its encryption capabilities with the release of a new Web3-enabled browser
Web3 fanaticism is growing by the day, owing to the fact that the digital infrastructure that surrounds it continues to take shape. This has resulted in a number of actors from the current internet era allocating resources to the same in an attempt to remain relevant during this transformative moment.
Opera, the firm that created the eponymous Internet browser, has taken the most recent step in this direction. In a press statement earlier today, it announced plans to launch a "Crypto Browser Project." The browser's beta version has already been made available for download for Microsoft, Android, and Mac users, it added.
By supporting decentralised apps (dApps), blockchain games, and the metaverse, the browser is aimed at integrating Web3 into the Opera ecosystem. While the browser will retain the existing browser's emphasis on security, it will also have direct access to decentralised exchanges (NFT) and gaming decentralised applications (DApps), as well as support for Telegram and Twitter.
According to a statement by Opera's EVP Mobile, Jorgen Arnesen, the browser is intended to speed mainstream adoption of the blockchain ecosystem by addressing both "the crypto-native and the crypto-curious." Additionally, it stated.
"Opera's Crypto Browser Project aims to provide consumers with a more straightforward, quicker, and secure Web3 experience. It streamlines the Web3 user experience for mainstream users, which is frequently perplexing. Opera believes that for the decentralised web to fulfil its full potential, Web3 must be simple to use."
The browser's primary focus is on Opera's own growing cryptocurrency wallet. It now supports both fungible ERC-20 and non-fungible ERC-721 standards, with ERC-1155 scheduled for release in Q1 of this year. The wallet's users can purchase cryptocurrencies using the wallet's built-in fiat-to-crypto onramp, trade cryptos, and even check their wallet balance and gas fee.
The integrated wallet will initially support Ethereum, before expanding to include Polygon, Solana, Nervos Network, Celo, and naming systems such as Unstoppable Domains, Handshake, and the Ethereum Name Service. In recent years, the corporation has formed a number of joint ventures in this area.
Its long-awaited integration with Polygon is scheduled to occur in the first quarter of 2022, as the browser anticipates scaling concerns would eventually surface. This will enable over 80 million Opera users globally to use dApps.
The popular browser is not the only one that has updated its appearance to align with current web trends. Facebook, the social media giant, went so far as to rename the business Meta last year, reflecting the corporation's expanding goals outside social media.
