Opera executive Susie Batt said that the tool will not have any platform usage fees and will allow people to freely explore the NFT industry.
In an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, the firm stated that it has partnered with Alteon LaunchPad to let beginners in Web3 or the NFT space easily mint NFTs. With the integration, users will be able to access a feature that lets them drag and drop media files into the browser, which writes a smart contract and uploads the file into a blockchain, turning the files into NFTs.
According to Susie Batt, an executive at Opera, this will allow users to explore Web3 and contribute to the ecosystem. Batt explained:
“Now, our users will be able to create NFTs instantly and simply with no platform usage fees, encouraging more people to explore the burgeoning NFT industry.”
With the tool, the team believes that users without any Web3 experience will also be able to access the Web3 economy. This means that artists from different backgrounds will be able to create NFTs in a less complicated way.
The NFT minting tool is provided by a firm called Alteon, a project that’s focused on simplifying workflows. Matt Cimaglia, the co-founder of Alteon, said that the goal of this integration is to “level the playing field” for content creators from various backgrounds. “Our partnership with Opera bridges the tech gap between traditional creatives and the Web3 creator economy, so anyone can benefit from the opportunities that blockchain technologies offer,” he added.
