Twitter Brings NFT Profile Pictures to Reality with QuickNode as NFTs become Mainstream

NFT Profile Pictures to be the Future of Clout

The social media site has begun rolling out a new feature that lets Twitter Blue subscribers to verify their own NFTs and display them in their profile images for $2.99 per month. The feature which is part of Twitter's "Labs" feature, replaces your traditional circular profile photo with a hexagonal profile photo is powered with QuickNode API. The hex-shaped photo may be shown on your Twitter account from any platform. However, users can only alter their profiles on the iOS app.

That means users can finally figure out which of their Twitter mutuals is the most irritating. We've got a whole new status symbol in town now that so many folks have blue checks.

Amol Shah, the CRO at QuickNode said:

While demand for QuickNode’s platform as a provider of blockchain infrastructure continues to take off as more companies look to adopt blockchain as part of their product strategy, we’re excited to partner with platforms such as Twitter to deliver support for features like their recently launched NFT Profile Pictures. Through this new feature, we’ll help provide a means in which people on Twitter can show off the NFTs they own and be a part of its thriving community.

Twitter will include a little indicator indicating that the NFT has been validated, so we can all see who owns those ugly monkeys and who merely downloaded a JPEG of the same ugly monkey photo. Other users will see a great deal of information about the NFT if they click on the profile photo. The Twitter Blue account, for example, updated their profile image to an NFT they created. When you click on it, you'll learn who produced it, what it's about, what qualities it has, which blockchain it's kept on, and more.

The basis of NFTs is a specific notion of what it means to "own" digital art. Anyone may reproduce a specific NFT with a single right-click, but evidence of ownership on their preferred blockchain is vital for collectors and cryptocurrency aficionados.

The Rise of NFTs

The NFT market exploded in 2021, with JP Morgan estimating that the entire market capital of the NFT ecosystem might be close to $7 billion. Everything and anything digital may be an NFT, from Tesla CEO Elon Musk's former lover Grimes selling her digital artwork to actress Sunny Leone minting her own digital avatar.

Since more individuals are buying and selling NFTs, investment bank Jefferies predicts that its market valuation will exceed $35 billion in 2022 and $80 billion by 2025. It's worth highlighting that non-fungible token trading reached $22 billion in 2021. The most lucrative NFT sale in 2021 was 'The First 5000 Days,' which sold for $69.3 million.
