Opera was co-founded by Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner and Geir Ivarsøy and has operated as a browser platform for decades. The company entered the Web3 space by introducing a built-in, non-custodial crypto wallet and Web3 support in 2018, the same year it entered a strategic blockchain partnership with Ledger Capital to explore blockchain applications and growth opportunities for its products. That year also saw concurrent private placements connected with its Nasdaq IPO, in which Tospring Technology Limited (Bitmain), IDG China Capital Fund III L.P., and IDG China Capital III Investors L.P. collectively purchased shares in the company.
Opera expanded its Web3 integrations over the following years, announcing support for NEAR Protocol in its native crypto wallet in 2021 and adding support for eight blockchain ecosystems in 2022, including Solana Labs, Polygon, Bitcoin, Ronin, and Celo, among others. Opera also partnered with the dWeb Foundation to integrate the Handshake decentralized blockchain naming system. A dedicated experimental Crypto Browser launched in 2022, though Opera stopped supporting updates for it on March 14, 2024 after folding its core features into the flagship browsers. The built-in Crypto Wallet in Opera One and Opera GX was subsequently phased out, stopping acceptance of new assets after July 15, 2025, with full removal scheduled for January 1, 2026.
Opera has pivoted its crypto strategy toward MiniPay, a non-custodial dollar-stablecoin wallet built on Celo, which Opera and the Celo Foundation launched in September 2023, initially integrating it into Opera Mini with a rollout beginning in Nigeria. Opera has described MiniPay as distinct from, and not a replacement for, its former general-purpose Crypto Wallet. By March 2026, MiniPay had expanded to more than 66 countries, surpassed 14 million account registrations, and facilitated more than 420 million transactions on the Celo network. On March 19, 2026, Opera and Celo Core Co. announced a three-year commercial framework, subject to Celo community governance approval, proposing an allocation of 160 million CELO to Opera as a grant for distribution services, with Opera described as becoming a Celo network stakeholder.
