Note that the term Web3 refers to a new generation of the Internet in which users play a major role - they earn revenue for creating content. This is quite different from the current Web2, where the market is controlled by large companies that like to collect data about their users and sell it on top of that.

Web3 is based on blockchain and involves interaction with digital assets, decentralised platforms and today's popular NFT tokens. It is important to note that not everyone views the prospects of the new internet standard positively. For example, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former Twitter executive Jack Dorsey made it clear last December that they were sceptical about the prospects of Web3. Read more about it here.

Which browsers support crypto

According to Cointelegraph sources, the current version of Opera has a built-in VPN and ad blocker. These features will also remain in the crypto browser. However, it will integrate direct access to decentralised exchanges, NFT, decentralised gaming apps, as well as support for Telegram and Twitter directly from the browser.


Eventually, the company's software will become a kind of hub for all digital asset lovers, who will need a single interface to interact with the world of crypto. However, it is Twitter that is most often used by coin users to get the latest blockchain news, and Telegram is also in demand among Bitcoin enthusiasts.

So in the end, Opera wants to become a universal app for crypto fans. And from the looks of it, this functionality will be enough - especially with access to decentralized apps.

Here’s a quote from Opera developer Jorgen Arnesen on the subject, in which he shares the features of the new product

Opera’s Crypto Browser Project promises users a simpler, faster and more confidential Web3 experience. It will greatly improve their experience of the new Internet standard, which often confuses ordinary users. Opera believes that the Web3 must be easy to use so that decentralised networks can reach their full potential.


Accordingly, Opera supports the blockchain-based digital asset niche. As a reminder, the same cannot be said for Wikipedia and Mozilla, which the day before suspended acceptance of cryptocurrency donations. The reason for this was criticism from the community on Twitter, who still see harm in mining the same Etherium and consider NFT tokens as something useless. Read more about the situation in a separate piece.


On top of all that, the beta version of the crypto browser will have a built-in cryptocurrency wallet for Ethereum. The developers promise that in the future it will also support Polygon, Solana, Nervos Network and Celo blockchains. It will also support services like Unstoppable Domains, Handshake and Ethereum Name Service. More news on the project should be expected in the first quarter of this year, which means that the wait for details is relatively short.

Crypto browser development plan

We believe that the new browser from Novverge is a great way to significantly accelerate the adoption of Web3 and the crypto market in general. Opera's new crypto browser is sure to catch the eye of the company's millions of customers, who may be quite far removed from the crypto market. Accordingly, this news should have a positive impact on the entire industry and in addition attract a host of new investors. It's easy to assume that they will start their introduction to the digital asset industry with familiar software from a world-renowned company.
