Norwegian company Opera has announced that its Crypto Browser Project will be in beta in a few months and will have built-in features for integration into Web 3.0.
Opera’s new “cryptocurrency browser” will be available for Windows, Mac and Android users. The new project is positioned as a tool to “accelerate the evolution of the Internet,” the company said in a blog post.
Crypto Browser is designed to work with decentralized applications, the announcement says. The product integrates access to the latest news about the cryptocurrency market, the upcoming distribution of tokens, a calendar of events, information about crypto communities, educational content, podcasts and videos.
Using a browser, users will not only be able to check the prices of cryptocurrencies, but also have access to dApps through the built-in wallet. It will integrate support for multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Celo, and Nervos. The non-custodial wallet will support ETH, ERC-20, ERC-721 and ERC-1155 tokens. Its owners will be able to transfer cryptocurrencies and NFTs directly to the recipient.
Crypto Browser also promises a special clipboard in order to safely copy/paste information, such as cryptocurrency addresses.
To develop the new browser, Opera has attracted cryptocurrency companies, including Polygon, Solana, Nervos, Celo, Unstoppable Domains, Handshake and ENS. The list of partners is expected to expand in the near future. The developer is interested in increasing the number of blockchains and tokens available to users in order to facilitate the integration of the browser into Web3.0.
In 2020, Opera added the ability to buy ETH and BTC for US residents through Apple Pay and credit cards on mobile versions of its browser on iOS and Android. In 2019, Opera developers added the TRX token to the list of cryptocurrencies supported by the browser. In 2018, Opera announced the release of an Android version of its web browser with a built-in cryptocurrency wallet.
