Opera launches a dedicated crypto browser2022-01-19 19:27 by DanielaTags: Opera, crypto browser
Opera has launched the beta version of its "Crypto Browser Project," an internet browser with built-in Web 3 integrations. The product is targeted at both "the crypto-native and the crypto-curious," with Opera's own crypto wallet at the core of its user experience, according to a press release Tuesday. The company said, "The Opera Crypto Browser Project is about more than just surfing traditional websites through a one-size-fits-all solution. It's specifically designed to work with a variety of decentralized apps, or dApps, as well as provide deeper functionality than a traditional browser that has a basic web wallet add-on." A key feature is the built-in non-custodial wallet that will support blockchains including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Celo and Nervos from the get-go. It also announced partnerships with Polygon and others. The idea is to let you access your crypto without the need for any extensions, with the option of using third-party wallets as well. You can purchase cryptocurrencies via a fiat to crypto on-ramp, swap crypto directly in-wallet, send and receive it and check your wallet balance. It even has a secure clipboard that ensures other apps can't data when you copy/paste. The other primary function is support for Web3, aka blockchain-based decentralized internet, aka the buzzy new thing among crypto enthusiasts (and skeptics). On top of providing extra security via blockchain encryption, it allows users to access things like GameFi "where you can earn as you play your way through all sorts of metaverses," Opera notes. It also offers a "Crypto Corner" with the latest blockchain news that also "lets you grow your Web3 skills," according to Opera. Read more -here-
