Opera 59 has reached the developer branch. A new build of the browser includes a new feature, Opera Crypto Wallet. Here is how it works.
The Opera 59 desktop browser comes with the new Opera Crypto Wallet option. It allows you to use the virtual currency stored in your Crypto Wallet directly with Web 3.0 websites in your desktop browser, without installing third-party extensions. To get it working, you will need to configure your the Crypto Wallet in the Android version of Opera and pair it with this new version of the Opera desktop browser.
After you pair your Opera desktop browser with your Opera for Android browser (beta), every time a website or a decentralized app requires you to sign a transaction or message, a prompt asking for a fingerprint confirmation will appear on your phone. No need to set up a different wallet for desktop. Your wallet’s private keys remain stored on the secure hardware of your mobile phone and are never transmitted.
According to the official announcement, Opera Crypto Wallet is a user-controlled wallet, meaning that the keys controlling the funds and assets are stored on the user’s phone and nowhere else. The crypto wallet supports tokens and collectibles, which are digital, unique “things” you can own on a public blockchain.
