In particular, today’s announcement will also extend access to the PoS blockchain and the Ethereum Layer-2 ecosystem (Polygon and StarkEx). By joining these blockchains, users will benefit from reduced gas charges and faster transactions while leveraging Ethereum’s robust decentralization and security while minimizing carbon dioxide emissions. can do.
Integration of multiple blockchains, especially Layer 2, is an important strategy in Opera’s mission to seamlessly onboard millions of users to Web3 and do it in an environmentally friendly way, regardless of chain.
“”Since launching in the Web3 space in 2018, we have sealed partnerships with the most popular and cutting-edge blockchain and web3 domain name providers to accelerate the evolution of cryptography from proof of concept to mass adoption. Ultimately, Web3 is becoming the mainstream web technology, and users don’t need to know that they are interacting with Web3.You need to get a great user experience and real benefits,” Said Jorgen ArnesenOpera’s EVP Mobile.
middle January 2022Opera has shipped the first public beta version of the new CryptoBrowser Project on mobile and desktop. The Crypto Browser Project provides the ultimate all-in-one, completely dedicated Web3 browsing experience. Opera initially launched the first web browser with an integrated crypto wallet and basic web3 support. Back to 2018The CryptoBrowser Project, which includes built-in dapp support, non-cast dial cryptocurrency, and CryptoCorner, marks the beginning of a new journey towards a dedicated Web3 browsing experience aimed at accelerating the next evolution. generation. This is now alive.

Integration with Polygon is an important strategy in Opera’s mission to seamlessly onboard millions of users to Web3 and do it in an environmentally friendly way. Polygon has become one of the most popular Ethereum scaling solutions among users and developers due to its fast, scalable and ultra-low cost environment. As Ethereum’s gas prices have skyrocketed to unsustainable levels, browser developers have moved quickly to consolidate their projects and enable a direct and efficient way for users to interact with polygons. rice field.
In contrast, once an asset is sent to Polygon’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) chain, the effects of carbon on asset creation and transfer are virtually negligible. Polygons consume only 0.00079 terawatts (TWh) of electricity annually, which consumes more than 90% less energy than Ethereum Layer 1. For example, creating a single NFT with Polygon produces about the same amount of CO2 as driving 0.26 km.
From metaverse platforms such as Sandbox, Decentraland, Minecraft compatible NFT Worlds, Cryptovoxels, and Somnium Space to dApp, the most popular game in the Polygon ecosystem. Polygon studio, And games such as Aavegotchi, My Crypto Heroes, Atlantis World, Decentral Games. Opera’s Polygon support gives users access to the popular Ethereum ecosystem with over 7,000 dApps to choose from, including the popular gaming apps Sandbox, Decentraland, and Aavegotchi. Opera’s Polygon integration is based on the browser’s goal of bringing millions of users onboard the Web3 space in an environmentally friendly way.
Solana
Major web browsers have begun to work towards incorporating native blockchain capabilities during the explosive growth of DeFi in 2020. Since then, many browsers have integrated different levels of blockchain functionality. However, Opera’s inclusion of Solana beats major competitors in this sector.
Solana became one of the top 10 cryptocurrency projects with its market capitalization increase in 2022. Its low transaction fees, high scalability, and energy-efficient consensus model make Solana a viable player in the blockchain sector.
Opera users will have access to the entire Solana ecosystem, including decentralized applications (dApps) currently hosted on the blockchain. This includes apps up to decentralized exchanges (DEX) such as Solend and Raydium. NFT Marketplace and Music Streaming App. While Opera is working with the Solana ecosystem to integrate Opera Wallet, users currently need to connect through Phantom Wallet.
Opera will provide access to Ethereum’s Layer 2 ecosystem via StarkEx with StarkWare and the decentralized exchange DeversiFi, in addition to Solana, Polygon and other blockchains. This integration allows users to benefit from efficient, ultra-low-cost transactions that are more than 100 times faster and more cost-effective than Ethereum’s mainnet.
In addition, Opera announced support for the Ronin blockchain, home of the popular GameFi project Axie Infinity. This is one of the great successes of distributed game space. The integration also includes Nervos, IXO, Celo and Bitcoin.
Jorgen ArnesenOpera’s EVP Mobile said:The average web user may still hesitate to get into Web3, but by integrating Solana, Polygon, etc. into a mobile browser, these are due to the safety and familiarity of browsers that provide a dedicated Web3. You now have access to your technology. experience.“”
Polygons and polygon dapps are available in the Crypto Browser Project on Android and PC, and Opera for Android. Solana, StarkWare / Deversifi Layer 2, IXO, Ronin, Nervos, Bitcoin, and Celo are available in Opera for Android and will be available in the CryptoBrowser Project in the coming months.

About Solana:
Solana is a global state machine and the highest performing blockchain in the world. This gives developers the confidence to build in the long run by achieving predictable scaling without compromising security or configurable. Solana’s performance is driven by a single global state that can handle tens of thousands of smart contracts at a time, and the Proof of History, a distributed clock that unleashes a low-latency, less than a second finality across the global state.
