The Opera browser has integrated Polygon, opening the DApp ecosystem to 80 million users.

On Wednesday, Opera, an online browser supporting Web 3.0 applications and integrated crypto wallets, announced integration with Polygon (MATIC). The consolidation plan is expected to be announced in the first quarter of 2022, opening up the Polygon ecosystem first to Opera for 80 million Android phone users and then to users of other devices and platforms. Polygon is a second ETHereum (ETH) solution designed to reduce GAS costs and conversion time.

The integration will give Opera users access to decentralized Polygon applications or DApps such as Sushiswap, Curve and Aave, as well as blockchain games and non-fungible token (NFT) platforms such as Decentraland, OpenSea and Sandbox.

Jorgen Arnese, vice president of Opera Mobile, said the new merger "would help eliminate the biggest problems facing cryptocurrency enthusiasts: high oil prices and slowing markets."

Arjun Kalsy, Polygon VP of Development, added, “This collaboration will allow Opera to hundreds of millions of monthly users to experience the success of Polygon's DApp ecosystem and Web 3.0 technology from Polygon. point.

Ethereum's scaling solutions like Polygon have become important in recent years, as the network can only perform 15 changes per second. When network activity is at its peak, if a person tries to put in more than 10,000 NFT at a time, the cost of GAS can increase dramatically. In financial contracts, such as loans to friends, the cost is higher due to the need to review multiple smart contracts when placing a loan.
