Opera integrates the Metaverse Focused MultiversX Blockchain

MultiversX, formerly known as Elrond, has been seamlessly integrated into Opera Desktop, and is suitable for both mobile and browser platforms. The goal of this milestone is to streamline the process of user registration, promote widespread adoption, and offer users a new approach to engaging with MultiversX’s metaverse-focused blockchain.

This partnership will make it easier for Opera users to explore the decentralized internet by seamlessly integrating the MultiversX network into the browser’s interface. The integration combines the wide range of functionalities offered by MultiversX with the user-friendly and easily accessible nature of web surfing. In particular, MultiversX’s native tokens, EGLD or ESDT, will be available to Opera users to transact and interact with relevant non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Furthermore, it is possible for users to easily use decentralized applications (dApps) through their browsers and create multiple MultiversX addresses with the same recovery phrase, thus expanding their options for managing multiple wallets. The collaboration will cover the Opera browser’s desktop and Android versions, allowing cross-platform users to benefit from the MultiversX ecosystem. The Android layout consists of custom wallpapers, speed dial options for quick access to important MultiversX sites, and Web3 functionality.

The development of a clear and uncomplicated route to the Web3 realm through the browser, which is the basic Web2 gateway, offers indisputable advantages. This has the potential to serve as a powerful catalyst for wider adoption and exploration of the MultiversX blockchain ecosystem, while ensuring that current users enjoy a smooth and user-friendly experience. Beniamin Mincu, CEO of MultiversX, expressed his excitement to be at the forefront of this revolution together with Opera.

The progress MultiversX has made towards improving Web3 interoperability is remarkable. In February, xPortal was launched as a Web3 “superapp” with the goal of providing users with a centralized platform to access decentralized applications and metaverses. This application is compatible with both Android and iOS operating systems and offers a variety of features such as secure messaging with end-to-end encryption, as well as access to Web3 applications and metaverse meetings.

The mobile application integrates digital finance, AI avatars and messaging functionality in a user-friendly interface to help newcomers to the Web3 ecosystem. In addition, MultiversX has recently established a partnership with Tencent, a renowned Chinese technology company known for its widely used messaging platform WeChat.

The Opera browser was the first browser to fully support cryptocurrencies. In 2018, the Norwegian company launched an Android mobile application that featured the world’s first browser with a built-in cryptocurrency wallet. The browser referred to as ‘Web 3-Ready’ by Opera encompasses its range of blockchain and cryptocurrency offerings, currently featuring a crypto wallet compatible with Ethereum and dApps for both Android and iOS.
