Drive Web3 Experience, Opera Supports 8 Blockchain Networks

JAKARTA – Opera will support eight leading blockchain and layer-2 networks including Solana, Polygon, StarkEx, Ronin, Celo, Nervos, and IXO. In addition, some decentralized applications (dApps). It is meant to boost the web3 browsing experience.

Opera users can now access the network and its various features, including DeFi, through its new web3 browsing solution and wallet. “From now on, users gain access to the extensive Polygon or Solana dApps ecosystem or benefit from Layer 2 DeFi via StarkWare-powered DiversiFi. They can also take care of their Axies by accessing Ronin,” reads a statement on their official blog.

In addition, by bringing Polygon and StarkEx to its browsing platform, Opera helps its users to “benefit from lower gas fees and faster transactions”. Merging multiple blockchains and layer-2 enables Opera to seamlessly connect millions of users to the web3.

“Since we started in the Web3 space in 2018, we have forged partnerships with the most popular and leading blockchain and web3 domain name providers,” said Jorgen Arnesen, EVP Mobile at Opera, on his official blog.

Opera's own Crypto Browser project was delivered in mid-January. The project, known as the Crypto Browser Project, includes a built-in dApp and a non-custodial wallet. That is, a type of wallet that allows users to have their private keys, which are in encrypted storage. Users have complete control over their funds. furthermore, Opera promises a dedicated web3 browsing experience, the beta version of the Crypto Browser Project is the forerunner of the "next generation of the Web."

“Crypto Browser Project provides the best Web3 browsing experience, all-in-one, completely dedicated,” said Opera Global Communications Lead Julia Szyndzielorz in her blog.

Web3 Trends Become Stronger

Opera prides itself on being the first “genuine web3 browser with built-in crypto wallet” since four years ago, or 2018. This is what it said when introducing the features as part of its browsing experience.

In an effort to eliminate the slow speeds and high gas fees in its DeFi functionality, Opera integrated DiversiFi, powered by StarkWare, last month. Browser support for Polygon and DiversiFi was officially announced on March 30, yesterday.
