Opera is unveiling its new Crypto Browser Project, with beta versions of the new web browser made immediately available for PC, Mac and mobile phones, delivering a new web experience with Web3 at its core.

Though Opera’s browser is still built upon the same Chromium underpinnings as its current desktop browser, Opera also built in a number of Web3 features. (In some circles the term “Web3” has become synonymous with the blockchain, referring to a decentralized web that’s governed by tokens.) In Opera’s case, that includes designing non-custodial crypto wallet as well as quick links to crypto news, airdrops, and, yes, NFTs. The Crypto Browser Project also includes support for what Opera calls distributed apps, or dApps —a suite of decentralized apps that can provide more functionality than traditional plugins, according to Opera.

Although Opera is promoting its dedication to cryptocurrencies, its competitor Brave has had a head start in the space, with its own integrated crypto wallet and even its own cryptocurrency.

The new Crypto Browser is available for Android, Windows, and Mac, according to Opera. According to Opera, an iOS version will be available soon. The Crypto Project will be officially launched in the following months. (CT)
