This Thursday, interoperable web browser provider Opera introduced plans to add blockchain services to its Crypto Browser to enable decentralised applications (dApps) for its 300 million user base.

Opera Crypto Browser plans to integrate the Elrond blockchain into the platform and its digital wallet due to its flexibility. Previously, the browser integrated Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polygon, and BNB Chain to provide users with a multichain Web3 and crypto ecosystem.

The integration lets users participate in crypto-trading with their chosen supported wallet token, with added security and seamless transactions.

Danny Yao, the Senior Product Manager at Opera, said that the crypto integration provides an understandable and secure entry point to Web3. Additionally, Opera Crypto Browser contains a wallet selector feature which gives users more control over the information they share with Dapps.

He added,

“We also have a secure clipboard, safeguarding our user’s data as they copy-paste sensitive data such as wallet addresses or bank account numbers”

The Increasing Presence of Crypto-Ready Web3 Services

With the emergence of Web3-related services, technologies like blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and crypto are receiving increased scalability and support.

The news follows updates in June, when customer relations services giant Salesforce introduced Cloud Pilot for sustainable NFT minting and distribution for brands and marketers.

The service lowers the entry to Web3 crypto and NFT trading and allows users to participate using traditional payment methods without requiring a crypto wallet.

Also, OpenSea introduced credit card payments in April via the firm’s MoonPay service for buying and selling blockchain goods. The firm opened up payment options that support Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Apple, and Google Pay.

The move scales OpenSea’s Web3 functionalities to a more diverse and less informed consumer base, introducing new users to blockchains, NFTs and OpenSea’s supported crypto-wallets, including Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, and Klaytn.

Additionally, in April, Visa introduced an NFT creator programme that helps small businesses transition to Web3 eCommerce platforms. The Head of Crypto at Visa, Cuy Sheffield, said that the NFT ecosystem is undergoing rapid growth. The programme lowers the barrier to entry to NFT content creation so individuals and businesses can sell digital assets online efficiently.
