Opera Forms Alliance With Ledger Capital To Develop Blockchain Applications

Opera has partnered with blockchain advisory and financial services firm Ledger Capital to explore possible blockchain applications. The two companies are looking to investigate applications and use cases of blockchain and how the technology can be deployed within Opera products and its ecosystem. Opera became the first major web browser that included a built-in cryptocurrency wallet.
Commenting on the initiative, Charles Hamel, Product Lead of Opera’s crypto wallet, said that “paying with the crypto wallet is like sending digital cash straight from your phone … This opens up new possibilities for merchants and content creators alike.” Opera launched a “Labs” special edition of its desktop web browser with built-in crypto wallet, where the new edition will enable users to authenticate Web 3.0 and decentralized application (DApp) transactions made on their computer using their Android phone. “Labs” reportedly is fully interoperable with the mobile crypto wallet.
In December last year, Opera also included a anti-crypto mining in their integrated ad-blocker for its desktop browser, subsequently expanding it to its mobile browser as well. Last month, another major web browser, Firefox, announced it will block cryptojacking malware in its future versions.
