OpenSea Suggests Solana NFT Support is Coming
|
Popular non-fungible token (NFT) Marketplace, OpenSea, has all but confirmed that Solana NFTs are coming to its digital collectibles marketplace. The news comes after OpenSea published a video answering the question “wen solana?” with an April 2022 date.
Industry insiders have notably been anticipating the move for most of the year. In January, tech blogger Jane Manchun Wong spotted telltale signs OpenSea was preparing to support Solana wallets, with its code recently being filled with mentions of the blockchain.
In its video, OpenSea teased it’s the “best kept secret in web3,” presumably referring to its Solana integration plans. Solana would be the fourth blockchain network supported on the marketplace, along with Ethereum, Polygon, and Klaytn.
The move could also spell trouble for Magic Eden, Solana’s leading NFT marketplace which currently has over 90% market share.

Opera Browser to Support Solana, Polygon, Ronin, and Five Other Blockchains
|
Popular pro-cryptocurrency web browser Opera has revealed its built-in crypto wallet and web 3.0 browser, which will support several major networks, including Solana, Polygon, Axie Infinity’s Ronin, Nervos, Celo, IXO. Bitcoin, and StarkEx.
In an announcement, the firm suggested its “tens of millions” of active users can start benefitting from access to decentralized applications through these blockchains using its built-in cryptocurrency wallet.
The new launch, Opera added, extends access to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains and Ethereum scaling solutions with smaller transaction fees than the cryptocurrency’s layer-one blockchain.
According to the company, its intention behind integrating multiple blockchains was to ensure it remain blockchain-agnostic while offering its users access to Web3.
