In September earlier this year, app reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi first spotted that Twitter is working on NFT profile pictures behind the scenes. The company has been working on this feature since then and from the looks of it, Twitter is in the final round of preparations to let users set NFTs as their display pictures.
Going by screenshots Alessandro Paluzzi shared over the past few months, NFT profile pictures on Twitter will have a hexagonal shape. To set an NFT as your avatar, you will have to connect your crypto wallet with your Twitter account. The supported crypto wallets include Coinbase, Trust, Argent, Metamask, Gnosis Safe, Crypto.com, Pillar, Opera, and ImToken.
According to the onboarding screen for Twitter NFT profile pictures Paluzzi shared, the feature is coming to Android and the web soon. There’s no word on iOS availability at the moment.
