Opera launches Crypto Wallet on Opera Touch for iOS

In the past few months, Opera had announced that it would launch an update for Opera Touch on iOS that would integrate the Ethereum Crypto Wallet, and the update arrived. The new version of the browser now implements a wallet for cryptocurrencies on all platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows, Mac and Linux. On the hardware platform, the feature was introduced with Opera Touch 1.9.

Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum is not just a cryptocurrency, but more extensively it can be used for applications that can exploit the blockchain. The apps distributed and based on the Ethereum blockchain, also called dApps, make the technology decidedly more versatile and consequently, make the Crypto Wallet on Opera Touch even more interesting. The novelty was launched on Android at the end of 2018 and on a desktop last April.

Thanks to the novelty, users who have purchased or who purchase Ethereum will be able to keep the currency inside the wallet integrated in the browser, with cryptographic keys that are saved locally on the device with the promise of maximum security. Opera Touch thus becomes, also on iOS, a ” Web 3-ready ” browser, and can interact optimally with Web 3 applications on the Ethereum blockchain.

Thanks to the support of cryptocurrencies, blockchains and dApps, Opera Touch can be counted among the most modern navigation software. To make users familiar with the new technologies, Opera has also introduced a dApp called Marble.Cards that allows you to turn any URL into a unique digital collectible card for each individual URL. Each card can be exchanged and represents a ” non-fungible token ” (NFT) on the Ethereum blockchain, which prevents cloning.

Web 3 is today a nascent and little known technology, it could represent an important base for the development of the Internet in the coming years. For those wishing to take a look at the news, they can do so by downloading Opera Touch via the App Store.
