These animated pictures of avatars, monkeys and other authentic artwork does really catch our eye. Twitter picked up on this rising trend very quickly. The company decided to facilitate a more direct connection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the new feature isn\u2019t officially released yet, lots of beta testing is happening. It will enable users to open their wallet for changing their profile picture and select an NFT from their collection. These wallets would include Coinbase, Metamask and so on. The profile picture would also bear a mark of authenticity. The mark would be kind of like a cool verified symbol, except it would be the symbol of the blockchain upon which the NFT is created. You can take a peak of this video down below to see the feature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here\u2019s a sneak peek\ud83d\udc40 on what we\u2019re working on for NFT profile verification.<br><br>What do you think? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Z8c6tH3BBy\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/Z8c6tH3BBy<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Justin Taylor (@TheSmarmyBum) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheSmarmyBum\/status\/1443259893411049475?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">September 29, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The feature also includes a rollout of a \u201cCollectible\u201d tab. Wherein users can proudly showcase all the NFTs they possess. It seems as if owning NFTs is going to be the next form of social validation. If this really picks up, forget counting the number of likes on your tweet, people will be more interested in what pieces you own. There is also an underlying focus on digital avatars that ties into the concept of the metaverse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-large-scale-adoption-of-nfts\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Large_Scale_adoption_of_NFTs\"><\/span>Large Scale adoption of NFTs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is going to be an interesting experiment for Twitter. Twitter isn\u2019t the only one experimenting in this landscape. Instagram is working on a similar NFT display section. On the other hand Facebook is headlining the development of the Metaverse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the feature isn&#8217;t live yet, we can safely predict a high success rate. Especially considering many of the crypto influencers and whales are most active on Twitter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"620\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/strawpoll.com\/embed\/1bvyzbp29\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 416px;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is no surprise that Twitter is hopping on board in the widespread adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrency.
