With Alteon LaunchPad, users who have little or no Web3 or NFT experience will be able to drag and drop any media file into the browser, which will automatically write a simple smart contract and upload the file to a blockchain, transforming NFT into an accessible . kind of medium for everyone to explore and enjoy. This unprecedented tool, the first of its kind for any type of browser, democratizes NFTs, allowing artists of all backgrounds to connect with the Web3 creator economy.
“Opera Crypto Browser is all about browsing the Web3 privately and securely,” said Susie Batt, Crypto Ecosystem Leader at Opera. “With Alteon LaunchPad, we are giving users the opportunity to freely contribute to this ecosystem. Now our users will be able to create NFTs instantly and easily with no platform usage fees, which will encourage more people to explore the booming industry of NFT”.
Alteon LaunchPad is a product of Alteon, a cloud-based ecosystem built for creators. Alteon leverages partnerships and integrations with leading creative technology companies, including Apple and Adobe, to streamline creative workflows. Alteon LaunchPad focuses on the core ethos of the company, making powerful tools available to everyone, including the crypto-curious, allowing more people to discover and explore the world of Web3.
“At Alteon, our goal is to level the playing field for content creators of all origins by creating an ecosystem of world-class tools accessible to all,” said Matt Cimaglia, Alteon Co-Founder. “Our partnership with Opera bridges the technology gap between traditional creatives and the Web3 creator economy, so that anyone can benefit from the opportunities that blockchain technologies offer. With Alteon LaunchPad, we are capturing the feelings of exploration and curiosity that fuel the new digital world.
The Alteon LaunchPad icon will be available on the left sidebar of Opera Crypto Browser in Q1 2023. Once opened, users will be able to drag and drop media files onto Alteon LaunchPad, preview their NFT, and review properties of your smart contract. The smart contract ensures that the users themselves remain the legal owners of their media, underscoring the revolutionary changes in data privacy that Web3 represents. Users will then be able to share these media files with anyone they want or sell them on private marketplaces. All NFTs will be sent to an Opera supported crypto wallet; if users don’t have one, they can quickly create an Opera Crypto Wallet in the browser.
Alteon LaunchPad comes on the heels of DegenKnows, Opera Crypto Browser’s new tool for NFT analysis, tracking and exploration, which helps users seamlessly discover, track and verify digital collectibles. Also, NFTs are flourishing again in alternative markets. Social media giant Instagram recently announced that users will soon be able to mint and sell digital collectibles directly from their profiles, as well as share these assets cross-platform with Facebook. Social media site Reddit has also experienced stratospheric growth recently thanks to the launch of its collectible digital marketplace, braving the crypto winter as more than three million users have registered wallets.
In the spirit of building a creative community, Alteon will highlight artists who have uploaded their work via Alteon LaunchPad, filling the tool’s wallpaper with new artist’s work on a rotating basis. The debut artist will be award-winning pop artist Kristin Simmons, whose bold, provocative and biting works, employing paint, printmaking and mixed media, provide an ongoing commentary on her and her contemporaries with a focus on hedonistic pleasures.
“As a modern artist, I’m always looking for new media and platforms to express ideas, but the recent explosion of NFTs made them seem obtuse and over the top,” Simmons said. “The more I learn about the technology, the more I realize that NFTs aren’t overpriced JPEGs. They’re a different canvas. When I share images of my art on social media, that company could claim the rights to my work and sell my data to advertisers, but NFTs are different as they guarantee my ownership and privacy.”
In the same way that Alteon is designed to streamline creative workflows, Opera Crypto Browser streamlines web browsing by including popular messaging platforms right in the main sidebar, including Twitter, Telegram, and Discord. Crypto Browser offers Internet users a single, simplified window to interact with the blockchains and protocols that make up the Web3 space. Crypto Browser provides access to multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Bitcoin, BNB, Polygon, and others, as well as tens of thousands of dApps and protocols built on top of them. The browser also includes a secure clipboard, built-in browser VPN, and ad blocker.
Alteon LaunchPad will debut in January 2023. To download Opera Crypto Browser, click here.
