Opera will add Polygon to its digital wallet

 

Opera Browser intends to add support for the Polygon cryptocurrency to its digital wallet in early 2022.

Opera intends to open up access to Polygon to 80 million Android users to begin with, and then expand the service to other mobile devices and platforms.

Polygon as a solution for scaling the second layer of Ethereum was created to eliminate the biggest problems faced by ETH users, namely high gas charges and free transaction time.

Thanks to integration with Polygon, users will gain access to decentralized dApps applications such as Sushiswap, Curve and Aave as well as games based on blockchain technology and platforms offering trading with non-exchangeable NFT tokens such as Decentraland, Opensea and Sandbox.

"This integration will enable hundreds of millions of active Opera users each month to benefit from Polygon's thriving dApps ecosystem and best-in-class Web 3.0 technology," said Arjun Kalsy, vice president of development, Polygon.

Ethereum's tier two scaling solutions are gaining more and more interest as they offer a solution to the most pressing problem facing ETH users: high fees. At the end of September, we reported that the number of active Polygon addresses exceeded the number of addresses in the first Ethereum tier .

Polygon is currently in the 14th place on the CoinMarketCap (CMC) quotes, its price in the last 24 hours has increased by 14%, and over the past week by as much as 40%.

Polygon and Solana in the Opera portfolio

Not only will Polygon be integrated into the Opera digital wallet in early 2022, the browser development team recently announced that it will also add support for the Solana cryptocurrency. Opera will become the first browser to support Solana-based decentralized applications, ahead of Brave.

Solana, like Polygon, is valued for the speed of transactions and low fees. Its capitalization is valued by the CMC of $ 57 billion, which places the cryptocurrency in a high fifth place in the ranking.
