Twitter has been in the spotlight recently for several reasons. One of them is the recent Elon Musk takeover. Meanwhile, the platform is finally ready to embrace NFTs by testing its Tweet Tiles widget.
Twitter Partners With Four NFT Marketplaces
According to reports, Twitter has collaborated with four NFT marketplaces. The marketplaces include Jump.trade, Dapper Labs, Rarible, and Magic Eden.
Twitter aims to test its Tweet Tiles widget on all four platforms. Meanwhile, Tweet Tiles is a widget allowing users to attach NFTs to their tweets.
They are Twitter posts with variable fonts, larger images, and integrated call-to-actions. These Tiles allow users to post high visual content on their timelines.
Hence, these NFT platforms can display NFTs directly in their tweets through Tweet Tiles.
“Some links on these platforms will display a bigger image of the NFT. Also, it will contain information such as the title and developer.”
Jump.trade reacted to the latest partnership on Twitter. The platform said it is happy to partner with Twitter to bring NFTs to its users.
Jump.trade noted that this partnership would help to boost NFT usage on Twitter. It will also be an excellent achievement for the Web3 sector.
Recall that Twitter first launched Tweet Tiles in August. At the time, it partnered with news publishers such as New York Times, The Guardian, and Wall Street Journal to test the feature.
Meanwhile, if the trial results are successful, the feature will expand to all users. This will allow NFT creators and collectors to display, sell, and buy NFTs through tweets.
Additionally, it would increase the creation of more NFTs and drive NFT sales on Twitter. The current news comes after the platform initially launched NFT avatars for its users.
This feature allowed users to use NFTs as profile pictures. Then, all they have to do is connect their wallet to the social media giant. Musk continues his efforts in making Twitter a crypto-centric platform.
