Opera announces the launch of its dedicated crypto-currency browser on iOS. Available since January in beta on PC and Android, Opera Crypto Browser directly embeds a non-custodial wallet as well as a multitude of tools to interact with Web 3.0 and decentralised applications.
Opera launches its cryptocurrency browser on iOS
The Norwegian firm Opera Software has announced the release on iOS of its browser specifically designed for Web 3.0 and cryptocurrencies.
Already available in beta form since January on PC, Mac or Android, this “Crypto Browser” will now be available for download for more than a billion people to open the doors of Web 3.0 on iPhone.
Opera Crypto Browser iOS interface
Opera Crypto Browser has been designed around 2 main axes: the guarantee of confidentiality and a simplified handling while favouring an intuitive interface. Indeed, Opera realized that despite a strong increase in public interest in Web 3.0, no application has yet proposed a portal to this sector that meets these conditions.
The browser, which directly integrates a non-custodial wallet, aims to simplify the user experience as much as possible in their daily use of decentralised applications (dApps), games and various multiverses.
This was confirmed by Jorgen Arnesen, Executive Vice President of Mobile at Opera:
The interest in Web 3.0 is growing. The Opera Crypto Browser project is designed to simplify the Web 3.0 user experience, which is often confusing for ordinary users. Opera believes that Web 3.0 must be easy to use in order to reach its full potential and mass adoption. “
The iOS app is already available for download from Opera’s dedicated page or directly from the App Store.
What does this browser offer dedicated to cryptocurrencies?
Opera has spared no expense with its crypto browser, which directly embeds a non-custodial wallet and “Crypto Corner”, an aggregator of data and news related to crypto-currencies, which also offers a real-time update of the price of the latter.
The browser-based wallet currently supports Ethereum (ETH), Polygon (MATIC) and Celo (CELO). Future integration of other blockchains is already in the works. It already allows you to buy cryptocurrencies, store them or transfer them, but also to swap tokens between all supported blockchains.
In addition, it allows direct interaction with decentralised exchanges (DEX), the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) based on Web 3.0 as well as decentralised gaming applications and various services offered by Web 3.0.
We also appreciate the possibility of synchronising Opera on all supported media. This means that you can find your personalised browser on your PC, Mac or phone.
Finally, the Opera Crypto browser offers the ability to import any Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible wallet into its native wallet, as well as, of course, all the crypto-currencies in it.
It should be noted that in addition to its panel of tools for the blockchain world, Opera also integrates several solutions designed to protect privacy such as a tracker blocker, a pop-up blocker and a cookie window blocker. These are tools that the company has mastered, as they are already in place on its classic browser.
Opera aspires to reach a wider audience, and has found the right tools for both novice and experienced cryptocurrency users.
