Twitter, one of the most popular social media platforms, made an important announcement today for four altcoins and NFTs. Agreeing with four altcoins, Twitter will allow NFT to be purchased and viewed directly from the platform. Here are the details…
Twitter agrees with four altcoins: there will be NFT sale
A recent tweet from the Twitter Dev account, where Twitter announced the improvements, announced the Tweet Tiles feature. This feature will be used to develop links to marketplaces with specific NFTs. The new feature allows users to add a link to an NFT on an external site. The link will contain a full size image of the NFT. It will also automatically expand to show metadata and a link to its location in the relevant marketplace.
It should be noted that the integration in question is currently in the testing phase. Currently operating with NFT marketplaces/platforms behind certain altcoin projects. These platforms are as follows:
- Magic Eden (based in Solana)
- Rarible (RARI)
- Flow (FLOW)
- Jump Trade
These marketplaces are integrated with the Blockchains behind many cryptocurrencies. In other words, you have the opportunity to trade with many altcoins such as ETH, FLOW, MATIC, SOL.
Twitter is testing many features related to NFTs and cryptocurrencies
The largest among these marketplaces is Rarible. Because Rarible has registered $432,000 of NFT trades last week. Rarible shared that Tweet Tiles will allow users to experience NFTs in a whole new way. Magic Eden also talked about the feature, writing, “We loved the TweetTile… some might even say it’s like fire.” Finally, Jump.trade described the feature as “a welcome support for NFTs [and] an important milestone for web3.”
In August, Twitter tested the Tweet Tiles feature with three news outlets: The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Guardian. At the time, this feature was used to expand news articles, not NFT-related posts. Twitter’s developer account said the newly added feature is “one more step in our journey to allow developers to influence the Tweeting experience.”
The company has gradually added support for NFTs over the past year. It released a series of free NFTs in June 2021. This January, as we reported on Kriptokoin.com, it added support for NFTs in profile pictures. It also integrates cryptocurrency. In September 2021, the site introduced the crypto tipping feature. This week, rumors surfaced that he was creating a crypto wallet. Also, Elon Musk is in the process of buying Twitter today. However, it is unclear whether he will follow the crypto plans he mentioned earlier, such as Dogecoin integration and micropayments.
