In an official announcement via a blog post on 10th December 2021, Opera said in partnership with Solana Labs, it’s set to add native support for the popular blockchain, allowing it to run a native wallet, including all the DApps in the ecosystem.
According to the Opera team, the integration would be ready by the first quarter of 2022. By then, users will be open to leveraging all the benefits embedded in the Solana blockchain in desktop and mobile browsers without limitations.
Opera tweeted, “Opera joins forces with Solana! The integration will enable Opera Android users to enjoy seamless access to Solana DApps alongside low-fees and fast transactions within the ecosystem. You’ll be able to access it through Opera in Q1 2022.”
