Metaverse-focused blockchain MultiversX, formerly known as Elrond, has teamed up with crypto browser Opera to integrate support for its growing ecosystem.
Opera users can explore the decentralized internet with the MultiversX network integrated into the browser’s interface. Users can also transact with native tokens EGLD or ESDT, connect to MultiversX-based non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and access decentralized applications built on the network.
Beniamin Mincu, CEO of MultiversX, told CoinDesk that the integration of the network into Opera gives users a more accessible path to the Web3 ecosystem.
“By being integrated into the Opera browser suite, MultiversX leverages the potential of Web3 in a way that is accessible and familiar to users,” said Mincu. “It is an important step in creating a simplified, low-threshold gateway to the world of Web3 and blockchain assets, one that gives users easy access to the new digital economy without having to understand the underlying complexities.”
MultiversX will be integrated into Opera’s desktop browser, as well as an Android experience that will allow access to MultiversX-based sites.
MultiversX aims to make Web3 interoperable and easily accessible for new users. In February, it launched its Web3 “super app” xPortal, an all-in-one platform for users to access decentralized applications and metaverses. It also recently partnered with Tencent, the Chinese tech company behind the popular messaging app WeChat, to help the company build out its Web3 strategy.
