Opera Crypto Browser, a Web3-focused project to facilitate browsing through decentralized applications (DApps), games, and metaverse platforms, has announced a partnership with Coin98, a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform based in Southeast Asia, to bolster Web3 accessibility.
Following the integration of Coin98, users of Opera’s Crypto Browser will be able to take advantage of the platform’s range of multi-chain non-fungible tokens (NFTs), decentralized exchanges (DEXs), cross-chain bridges and asset swaps, as well as the ability to to stake and lend their cryptocurrency wallets, it was announced on Thursday.
With Southeast Asia’s reputation as an online technology hotspot – with the largest number of Internet users in the world – and a region with a thriving young population and an increasingly active cryptocurrency community, the collaboration is poised to take Opera’s Crypto Browser one step closer to its goal of promoting mass adoption of cryptocurrencies and Web3. Susie Batt, director of the cryptocurrency ecosystem at Opera, has commented on this fact:
“With more than 340 million users worldwide, it’s critical that we drive widespread adoption by providing products and services that everyone can use.”
Opera has been a prominent figure in the cryptocurrency industry for some time, and was the first major browser to accept Bitcoin (BTC) payments in 2019. As of January 2022, Opera launched the Crypto Browser project, a Web3-oriented initiative to facilitate the discovery of DApps, games, and metaverse platforms.
As part of the project, the browser expanded blockchain support for around nine major blockchain networks, including Bitcoin, Solana (SOL), Polygon (MATIC), StarkEx, Ronin, Celo, Nervos Network, and the BNB chain. Earlier this year, Opera partnered with Yat, a service that allows the creation of emoji-enabled web addresses or URLs.
