Twitter added NFT verification for profile avatars
Twitter has introduced a mechanism to verify non-transferable tokens (NFTs) used as user profile images.
Access to the service is available to users with an active Twitter Blue subscription. When selecting a profile image, it is necessary to specify "NFT", and then connect the Ethereum wallet to the account. The page will display a list of available NFTs. Avatars verified in this way have a special hexagonal shape.
Currently Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, Rainbow, Argent, Trust and Ledger Live wallets are supported, and of the blockchains only Ethereum is supported, but the company noted that this is only the first version of the service and support for additional networks may appear in the future. The mechanism uses the API of the OpenSea NFT marketplace. For now, the option can only be found in the Twitter app for iOS.
