Opera integrates Bitcoin, Solana, Polygon and five other blockchains
Follow
Opera, one of the major crypto-friendly internet browsers, announced the integration of eight blockchains in a continued effort to introduce Web3 to more than 380 million mobile and desktop users worldwide.
In January 2022, Opera launched the Crypto Browser project, a Web3-focused initiative for facilitating navigation across decentralized applications (DApp), games and metaverse platforms. As part of this initiative, the browser company added support for eight major blockchain ecosystems — Bitcoin, Solana, Polygon, StarkEx, Ronin, Celo, Nervos Network and IXO.
Opera said in the announcement that its users now have access to the Polygon and Solana DApp ecosystems, as well as “the benefits of Layer 2 DeFi via StarkWare-powered DiversiFi.”
The latest integrations enable Opera users to access the Polygon proof-of-stake blockchain and Ethereum layer-2 ecosystem via StarkEx.
According to the company, the intention behind integrating multiple blockchains was to ensure chain agnosticism and Web3 involvement in an environment-friendly manner. Jørgen Arnesen, EVP mobile at Opera, stated:
“Ultimately, Web3 is on its way to becoming a mainstream web technology and users won’t need to know they’re interacting with it. They need to get a superior user experience and a true benefit.”
The announcement further highlighted the need for carbon-neutral solutions with low gas fees, which stands as one of the main reasons for choosing Polygon over the Ethereum blockchain.

Back in November 2021, Opera competitor Brave browser announced plans to integrate the Solana blockchain to strengthen its DApp capability, which is yet to be rolled out.
We've partnered with @solana to integrate it into the browser and make it the default for DApp support. We will soon bring best-in-class wallet features for the Solana blockchain into our desktop & mobile browsers. #BreakpointLisbonhttps://t.co/tTB7NXKWjI
— Brave Software (@brave) November 8, 2021
Citing the partnership, Brendan Eich, CEO and co-founder of Brave, said:
“With more and more users and creators requiring tools for fast and affordable access to the decentralized Web, this integration will seamlessly pave the way for the next billion crypto users to harness applications and tokens.”
Brave is yet to announce the addition of multichain support to rival its growing competition.
