Opera has released the beta version of its new Crypto Browser Project to facilitate the user experience of browsing decentralized applications (DApp), games, and metaverse platforms by offering direct access to Web3 services for Windows, Mac, and Android users.
It has been reported that the current Opera browser boasts a no-login VPN and native ad and tracker blocker that help to make it secure. According to a release, the new crypto browser will maintain these security features while integrating direct access to decentralized exchanges, (NFT) and gaming DApps, as well as Telegram and Twitter support.
Jorgen Arnesen, EVP mobile at Opera, stated:
“Opera’s Crypto Browser Project promises a simpler, faster, more private Web3 experience for users. It simplifies Web3 user experience that is often bewildering for mainstream users. Opera believes Web3 has to be easy to use for the decentralized web to reach its full potential.”
However, a built-in non-custodial wallet will support Ethereum in beta and, thanks to recent partnerships, will soon extend to Polygon, Solana, Nervos Network, Celo, and naming systems, such as Unstoppable Domains, Handshake, and Ethereum Name Service. Opera’s integration with Polygon is expected to go live in the first quarter of 2022.
The report said that the wallet supports both fungible ERC-20 standards as well as nonfungible ERC-721 standards, with ERC-1155 coming in Q1 2022. Users will also be able to purchase crypto via a built-in fiat-to-crypto on-ramp, complete crypto-to-crypto swaps, and even access a built-in NFT gallery.
Thus, according to the company, Opera expects to receive feedback from the crypto community on its beta in order to implement any developments “together.”
