Microsoft is developing plans to integrate a non-custodial Ethereum cryptocurrency wallet into its Edge browser.
While ChatGPT integration on Bing is now a reality, Microsoft is apparently focused on bringing lovers of the cryptocurrency market into its fold with a forthcoming product.
According to reports, the tech giant is developing a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet for its Microsoft Edge web browser. According to several leaked screenshots of the user interface for the future product, it will be a built-in Ethereum wallet. What’s more intriguing is that you won’t need to download an extension to use the crypto wallet on the browser.
Edge’s built-in cryptocurrency wallet
The forthcoming feature, which supports NFT and crypto, advertises itself as a wallet that offers streamlined interactions to make Web 3.0 experiences more approachable. Before creating an account for the Edge wallet, the following notice is displayed on the wallet’s introduction page:
“This is a non-custodial wallet, meaning you are in complete control of your funds. We will not have access to your password and recovery key. It is embedded in Edge, making it easy to use without installing any extension”
Users can search via numerous marketplaces using the wallet’s capability to find non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Hence, merging the technology with cryptocurrency might probably open up new opportunities, especially given how actively Microsoft is already promoting its artificial intelligence project with ChatGPT. Microsoft Edge is not the first web browser to include crypto integration by default.
