News from Opera 


Hello,


The last day of 2021. In order to integrate the decentralised blockchain domain name system, Handshake, we've joined forces with the dWeb Foundation. Handshake is a decentralised, permissionless naming system that replaces the standard DNS namespace hierarchy with a more sophisticated, safe, open, and accountable network. The integration will be live in 2022.


This agreement is another step in our quest to make crypto and web3 more popular by giving our consumers the most options possible. Opera's products aim to provide the finest user experience and web3 onboarding.


“As a web3-ready browser, Opera must support decentralised domains and domain name alternatives. dWeb Foundation and Handshake to provide our consumers access to web3 domains they can actually own,” stated Susie Batt, Opera's Crypto Ecosystem Lead.


“A truly democratised Web 3.0 requires new infrastructure. Handshake is an important part of the paradigm change. First major browser to support HNS, Opera's forward-looking vision and posture in the browser ecosystem. “This alliance is just the beginning of the endeavour to develop a decentralised web,” said Chjango Unchained, dWeb Foundation Executive Director.

About the Handshake


As a decentralised, permissionless naming system, Handshake displaces the existing DNS namespace hierarchy's old guard of Certificate Authorities with a more modern, safe, open, and accountable network. This new system replaces ICANN with a public ledger, making it a more plausible replacement for the current Domain Name System.
