Nervos Completes Wallet Integration to Enable Opera's Millions of Users to Send and Receive $CKB

NEW YORK, Feb. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nervos today announced the completion of Layer 1 integration with the native crypto wallet of Opera, (NASDAQ:OPRA) the company behind the popular, eponymous multi-platform web browser. Starting today, Opera's millions of users can send and receive $CKB within the crypto wallet built into the Opera browser on Android.

Nervos is the newest blockchain to complete an integration with the Opera browser after Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Celo. The integration's completion comes as more users and institutions look to seamlessly interact with their favorite decentralized apps (dapps), games, and metaverse platforms and give crypto transactions powered by Web3 technology an extra layer of security. Opera's flagship Android browser is offering developers direct, frictionless access to Web3 services on chains, including Nervos. Once the next phase of integration is complete, the wallet will support token transactions on Nervos' Layer 2, Godwoken. Opera's developer-friendly browser wallet will support $CKB in the future to attract blockchain developers. Nervos' Layer 2 will also be integrated in Opera's newly announced Crypto Browser Project, a dedicated Web3 browser currently in beta.

"Opera is pursuing a multi-chain strategy as we work on the future of Web3 and embrace blockchain technologies in our products. It is with great pleasure that we welcome Nervos to Opera on Android and look forward to integrating the Nervos Layer 2 in the near future," said Susie Batt, Crypto Ecosystem Lead at Opera.

With the current integration, users across both ecosystems can begin sending and receiving $CKB tokens via Opera's built-in non-custodial wallet. Additionally, users have direct access to Nervos' ecosystem of dApps, which supports NFTs, DeFi, gaming, and other applications.

"The completion of the integration is an important milestone as our respective communities can now interact seamlessly across both ecosystems," said Kevin Wang, co-founder of Nervos. "As we look toward the future of decentralization, integrations with notable companies such as Opera will continue to play an important role in our continued push toward true blockchain interoperability and the successful future of Web3."

Nervos' integration with Opera is the latest ecosystem development from the public network as it builds the next booming DeFi ecosystem. With the launch of several solutions on mainnet, including cross-chain bridge Force Bridge and its first Layer 2 Godwoken, Nervos is welcoming several new developers, projects, and other chains to interact and engage with its network. Most recently, Nervos completed its cross-chain bridge to Binance Smart Chain, further propelling its multi-chain strategy.
