This tutorial covers how to use Opera browser crypto wallet. Opera browser already has lots of interesting features. It has free VPN, lets you edit screenshots, provides built-in ad-blocker, battery saver, and more. Recently, it has added one more unique feature which is the built-in crypto wallet. It has also become the first browser to bring such a feature.
Using this built-in cryptocurrency wallet, you can send and receive payments to your crypto wallet. As of now, this feature is available in the Android version of Opera browser and it supports Ethereum cryptocurrency only. But it will also support other cryptocurrencies and platforms later. Apart from that, it also supports Ethereum decentralized apps (dApps). It will also automatically detect your Ethereum tokens (ERC20) and collectibles (like game-related items (CryptoKitties), badges, etc.) and show them separately within its Crypto Wallet interface. Earlier, this crypto wallet feature was a part of beta version but it has rolled out to the stable version of Android.
In the screenshot above, you can see the Crypto Wallet interface of Opera Android browser where you will be able to see your wallet balance and collectibles and tokens with separate sections.
