Twitter has announced a new feature which will let users show off the NFTs they own in a hex-shaped profile picture on their social media account. For this, one will be required to connect their crypto wallet and verify their address. Note that your Twitter account will then be associated with your current and historical crypto wallet transactions and holdings, including all other NFTs in that wallet.
The new feature is currently available only for Twitter Blue subscribers through the platform’s Blue’s early access Labs feature. In case you are unaware, the Twitter Blue subscription was recently launched in a few markets and those who have purchased it have access to some of the premium features, which also includes NFT profile picture.
The micro-blogging site is first releasing the NFT feature for iOS users. The Android and web versions will get it in the near future. But, everyone on Twitter will be able to check out the new hexagon-shaped picture that has been uploaded by iOS users. The Blue subscription service is itself not available globally and is limited to countries like the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This further limits the adoption of NFT Profile Pictures.
Currently, Twitter is offering support for several crypto wallets that users can use to connect to their profiles and verify their NFT tokens. These include Argent, Coinbase Wallet, Ledger Live, MetaMask, Rainbow, and Trust Wallet. Users will have the option to remove NFT if they no longer wish to display an NFT as your profile picture. For this, one just needs to change their profile picture.
What to keep in mind before setting up an NFT profile picture?
In one of the FAQ pages, Twitter says that one should keep in mind that the platform will never request funds from your crypto wallet. So, users should remain vigilant, and check all incoming requests to their wallet. You also avoid unknown transfer requests.
The company further says it will never request your private key or seed phrase, and you should never share your private keys or seed phrases anywhere, including on Twitter. “Although we won’t maintain an ongoing connection with your crypto wallet, we store your public address to ensure that it continues to hold the NFT you set as your profile picture,” Twitter said.
