NFTs have grown in popularity and matured into a form of identity and self-expression amongst the community.
So, Twitter Blue’s new feature provides a seamless, user-friendly way for people on Twitter to verify their NFT ownership.
This allows them to directly connect their crypto wallets to Twitter and select an NFT from their collection as their new profile picture.
Once authenticated, the NFT will be displayed as a soft hexagon across all surfaces where your avatar is visible.
When people tap on it, they can learn more about the art, its collection, provenance and more.
The launch of NFT Profile Pictures marks another important step towards incorporating decentralized technologies into Twitter.
This development also builds on recent announcements in the space, including the appointment of Tess Rinearson as Twitter’s Crypto Engineering Lead.
