Opera, a web browser that supports Web3, has announced desktop and mobile support for Binance’s smart contract blockchain, BNB Chain. Popular decentralized apps, including as DEXs like PancakeSwap, 1inch based on BNB Chain, will be accessible to users of the crypto-friendly browser.
According to the official blog post, Opera’s latest integration of its Crypto Browser with BNB will allow users to buy BNB tokens with fiat and transmit and receive them using the built-in crypto wallet.
Users will also have access to decentralized applications built on the BNB Chain. Apart from transactions and funds, Opera will offer access to prominent decentralized exchanges like PancakeSwap, 1inch, and BiSwap, as well as products like DRIP Venus, Tranchess, Treehouse, ApeSwap, and AutoShark Finance.
Opera has remarked that this collaboration has the potential to accelerate Web3 adoption. The announcement stated, “With today’s announcement of BNB Chain integration, Opera continues to streamline mainstream access to Web3 and beyond. With the Opera Crypto Browser, existing users of BNB Chain dApps and token holders alike can now join the hundreds of millions of Windows, Android, and Mac users worldwide in having unique Web3 access functionality at their fingertips.”
In recent years, Opera has formed agreements with a number of blockchains. The browser business has increased support for nine key blockchain ecosystems, including Bitcoin, Solana, Polygon, StarkEx, Ronin, Celo, Nervous Network, and now BNB Chain.
It previously stated that it does not want to concentrate on a single blockchain or token. Instead, Opera plans to integrate various blockchains and decentralized domain naming systems into its crypto browsers, providing consumers with a wide range of choices. It also seeks to take advantage of more Layer 2 functionalities.
The latest integration follows Opera’s experimental release of a Web3 browser for iOS devices, including the iPhone and iPad, earlier this month. In January, the Norwegian firm launched its much-anticipated ‘Crypto Browser’ project. The goal of the project is to advance the evolution of the next generation of the Web by providing more capabilities to standard browsers.
