Crypt browser Web3 Opera has announced plans to integrate Elrond's blockchain services for over 300 million users. The integration would help Opera users directly access a host of decentralized applications (DApps) and other popular services through the built-in Opera wallet.

Elrond is a scalable blockchain network that offers various infrastructure services for DApps, enterprise use cases, and the new internet economy. The blockchain's adaptive state sharing makes it one of the fastest and most efficient networks.

Through the integration, Opera users will have access to the Elrond Standard Digital Token (ESDT), a native token issuance standard, in addition to native EGLD tokens, making it a great starting point entry for Web3. Users will be able to participate without depending on a third-party wallet, ensuring seamless transactions and increased security.

In an exclusive chat with Cointelegraph, Danny Yao, Senior Product Manager at Opera, said the company is actively pursuing a multi-chain policy, having integrated Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polygon and BNB Chain earlier. He explained:

“Our goal is to be an understandable and secure entry point to Web3 for anyone interested in crypto. This also means that we have provided a wallet selection feature that allows our users to choose the wallet that they want to use to interact with a particular DApp."
