If you’ve been collecting points through Opera Rewards on your mobile, you’ve probably been wondering: what’s next? Where is this going?

In just a few days, you’ll be able to convert your Opera Rewards points into stablecoins, redeemable through MiniPay. Yes, the points you have been collecting while browsing can now be put to use!

But before we get into that, let’s back up a bit.

What is Opera Rewards?

If you’re not already familiar, Opera Rewards is a programme built right into Opera for Android and Opera Mini. It lets you collect points for the things you’re already doing in the browser.

As you browse, you earn points automatically. There’s no need for an extra signup or a separate account because it just works in the background as part of your normal browsing experience. You can track your points directly within the app and watch them build up over time.

You can also earn points faster by completing missions. These are small, simple tasks like setting Opera as your default browser, claiming daily streak rewards, reading news articles in your feed or logging into your Google account. Just your usual browsing, with a little bonus on top.

The key is consistency. The more regularly you browse and claim your daily rewards, the faster your points add up. If you’ve been at it for a while, you might already be sitting on more points than you think.

Already using Opera? Check your points.

If you’re on Opera for Android or Opera Mini, you might already have points waiting for you. Here’s how to check:

• Opera for Android: Tap your profile icon, then tap Rewards.
• Opera Mini: Your points are displayed right on the start page. You can also find more details in Quick Settings under Rewards.
• Opera News: stay tuned, coming soon!

If you’re not close to 300 points yet, now is the time to start!

So, what’s coming?

For every 300 points you build up, you’ll be able to claim $1 in stablecoin rewards through your MiniPay account. In other words, your Opera Rewards points can now become digital dollars. 

Not sure what stablecoins are? Quick version: it’s a type of digital currency that’s pegged to the US dollar. That means $1 in stablecoin = $1. It doesn’t fluctuate like crypto typically does, and you don’t need to understand blockchain to use it. MiniPay handles all of that in the background. You just see a balance you can hold, send, or use however works for you.

How will redemption work?

Simple:

1. Earn 300 points by completing missions on Opera for Android or Opera Mini. Coming soon to Opera News!
2. Open MiniPay (or set one up. It only takes a couple of minutes and all you need is a phone number).
3. Redeem your points. Claim your $1 stablecoin reward.

That’s it. No complicated setup. No hoops to jump through. If you already have a MiniPay account, you’re good to go. If you don’t, the onboarding is quick and straightforward. 

What else should I know?

A few things worth keeping in mind.

Rewards are distributed weekly, first come, first served. There’s a limited pool available each week, and once it’s been claimed, you’ll need to wait until the following week when it resets. Each eligible user can claim once per week, so checking in regularly is going to be worthwhile. If you’ve hit 300 points, don’t sit on them — redeem as soon as the pool opens.

But that’s not all. There’s also a weekly jackpot!

The user who earns the most points in a given week gets $250 in stablecoin. If there’s a tie, it gets split equally. So beyond the regular weekly redemption, there’s always an extra reason to stay active and keep pushing your points total higher.

When and where?

Rollout starts in April 2026 in phases, with Opera Mini users getting access first in the first week, followed by Opera for Android in the second week. The first wave will cover a select group of countries, with more added shortly after. The full programme will be available across all 60+ eligible countries where MiniPay operates, spanning markets across Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

What should I do right now?

Start stacking your points.

If you’re already on Opera for Android or Opera Mini, keep completing missions and building up your balance. When redemption goes live, you’ll want to be at or near 300 points so you can claim from the very first week. The weekly pool is limited so being ready early gives you an edge.

If you’re new to Opera, now is a great time to get started. Download Opera for Android or Opera Mini, start earning. Start now and you could be ready to redeem from week one.

Stay tuned for more details and further rewards coming soon!
