This week, a group of selected users will test NFTs on the platform. Users will have the ability to display NFTs on their feed, stories, and in messages with a “digital collectible” tag.
At beta launch, Ethereum and Polygon blockchains will be supported alongside such Web3 wallets as Rainbow, MetaMask and Trust Wallet 🧬
🔉 Instagram head Adam Mosseri said that they want to “learn from the community” and adjust and develop the NFT feature according to users’ requests & suggestions.
This may be the first step forward to entering the Metaverse. Maybe Instagram will soon launch an inner marketplace with resales & auctions. Or they’ll come up with something new like username tokenization.
Anyhow, with close connection to Meta, Instagram is basically destined to develop in the Web3 direction. We’ll see how it goes 👀
